Grimes on AI: Warnings & Pop Songs

0:00It's April 21st. This is Music News Today, powered by AI tracking hits, artists, and trends. Grimes just dropped a teaser for her new album, Sci Opera, and she made it clear she didn't touch Generative AI for any of it. Her last full album, Miss Anthropocene, hit back in early 2020, and since then she's been dropping singles like Artificial Angels from last year. But she's calling AI the most dangerous thing ever, even bigger than Jesus taking over the West Way, more game-changing. She stepped away from music a couple years back, planning to just be a stay-at-home mom after getting PTSD from listening to tunes. Instead, she dove into poetry and even wrote a killer rap for a K-pop artist but kept it for herself. It got super-aggressive during her nihilist phase, but she burned off that energy and shifted gears these last three months toward pop songs.

Her emotional side came out too, worrying about human extinction but hoping AI could reboot us later. On the business front, she's rethinking copyright, pushing for paying creators like in fan fiction, and they're dropping a white paper on it. She's called out labels investing in AI to clone artist's voices, but believes equal tools will let real talent shine forever. Lately, she surprised everyone at Coachella, 2026, jumping on stage with Cobra to debut their collab, Sign from God. With sigh-oper on deck, Grimes is back firing on all cylinders, balancing her AI warnings with fresh human-made fire.
