So in my last post I mentioned that I had somehow gotten in the middle of the ultimate electronic dream-pop flirt-fest between Balam Acab and Grimes on Twitter. Both of them discussed their #twittercrushes on one another and luckily @Advanceddd was on the scene to help things along. With any luck he'll be able to dedicate his remix of "My Boo" to her soon.
I couldn't agree more with Balam Acab's crush on Grimes. I know that I'm more than obsessed with her music right now I first really listened to her when she released Darkbloom with d'Eeon and made a video for her song "Vanessa". It had a really interesting combination of R&B, pop, and goth. But she's blown her past work out of the water with the material from her new album Visions which comes out Feb. 21. She combines elements of dance music, 60's girl-groups, and the shimmering pop of early Madonna and transmutes them with great songwriting into something new and exciting. Check out two of the tracks from Visions and buy it. It is some of the best music I've heard a while. Every track is gorgeous and it is truly an album in the classic sense. No filler and it all flows together perfectly. Great song after great song.
If you aren't convinced you can hear most of the album right now through Spotify here.
And watch her rock and an album highlight, "Nightmusic", live:
