I'm glad to see an artist who wants full control of her creative vision. We have a multitude of current artists who have ghostwriters, producers, etc. all creating their artistry for them. Grimes is 100% original. We need more people like this in the music industry. Grimes is bringing authenticity back. Hopefully she starts a movement.
Hello brother
+Finn Griffin hello brother, how are you?
i am very good thank you, it seems that we both like to watch interviews of great musicians
+Bear Boy Art implies authenticity. What you're criticizing is pop entertainment. Don't worry, nobody takes that shit seriously. Grimes isn't anything new for music as an art in regards to authenticity.
+Finn Griffin Interviews are very enlightening. It is humbling to be able to live in an age where valuable information like this is at our fingertips. To be able to get into the mind of a creator is a privilege that I certainly hope none of us take for granted because it is truly remarkable. I am a bagel.
I don't know what it is about her and her music, but I feel so care free when listening to her, almost like an escape from reality, its freaking fun lol
Omg YES! I feel the same way when I listen to her music.
El ladrón de libros Yeahhh! Haha
You just took the thought right out of my head... listening to her puts me at ease. I think part of it is because she's so sincere and genuine and that's really refreshing... and it doesn't hurt that she's cute too.
agreed
you literally described it perfectly-
"I consider pop to be just music that is ultimately extremely gratifying. It's music that just seeks to hit the pleasure center." Well put Grimes, well put.
Isn't that true for most of music though? Rock n' roll, most of rap, jazz and so on.
@@jamesbaldock4140 you can definitely say that for all music yeah. I think what Grimes meant is Pop music is generally sensory overload bc of it’s overly expressive sounds/instruments. Like when you hear a pop song you KNOW it’s a pop song. Pop music is just _so_ in your face and easily distinguishable. So in that sense, Pop music’s main and arguably only objective is to make your brain produce dopamine and for you to feel good.
A good example is like how clubs mainly only play pop/edm music.
@@ephemeral783 I think quite a lot of rock n' roll is even more extreme than pop. Maybe all pop is in your face / pleasure centre, which is slightly different from what Grimes said. It's as if pop is music that hits the pleasure centre but with a different instruments than rock, or at least it does the same thing but with a different style.
@James Baldock I think what Grimes means, or at least how I see it, is pop is super accesible, catchy, and fun the very first time you listen to it, because it's obvious, theatrical, and in your face. I love Rock music too but I think sometimes you have to sit with those songs a little more before you can really appreciate it, where as in a Katy Perry song for example, after the first chorus you already can kinda tell where the song is going, what it's about, and you already remember the melody because it's catchy. And they're extreme in whatever emotion they are, happy sad angry whatever, it's kinda theatrical. I've found rock trying to be more poetic, understated, complicated and nuanced with many layers at times, and pop to be very straight to the point when it comes to lyrics, sound and feeling, but I love both for what they are!
Her mind & ideas are so interesting. I love hearing artists talk about their art.
4 3gyg
she is satanist
I always find myself evading my life and responsabilities by watching/listening to Grimes. She's my escape
me too!
***** we are lost
+Dani Cat in her pink hair
0:40 - 1:15 what she says about pop music and its intended purpose is pure truth and this is why she is great.
I've never loved any artist this much.
Mary Lotus nigga toad
Saem saem
I really like how when you listen to her music and watch her in videos you expect her to be quiet and shy with a light voice but she's actually outgoing and exciting with a different voice then you expect
Idk if thats weird to think lol
Right!
She's not arrogant. She's just proud of her work. That's how nearly all creative people are once their work gets recognised. I'm thinking she's classic INFP. idealist, introverted, creative etc etc
she's probably the most talented girl in the alternative music scene since Bjork
this statement still stands true
Well I kind of agree, but let's not forget FKA twigs. This girl is on another level.
One among the most talented 💞 but if she is for you, omg same
He rubs shoulders with Sevdaliza and Aurora, who are just as talented
@@fauxorphic2398 I couldn’t agree more but they can’t have known about twigs when they wrote that comment because she had her debut like a couple of years later
She is SO my type of girl. Quirky, introverted, highly creative, unique, a bit spastic and insane(in a good way), and super pretty. And I love how she thinks. Everything she described in that interview mirrors thoughts I've had...thoughts that I've NEVER heard come out of another person before. It's nice to realize I'm not alone in those thoughts and ideas. I wish her tons of success. This world needs more people like Claire. The American Idol-ification of pop music has been an utter BORE...and it's time we move the fuck on. Grimes is one step in the right direction.
@Larry Myers But, he's, like, a really nice guy!
avedic weird flex but ok
She's Canadian
avedic none many but there are and have been maybe you havent discovered them yet but dig. I agree there needs to be more and shes just amazing in her own.
Too late
2021 and still relevant
she's so beautiful. i love her. i wish i could live in her world.
Imagine being friends with her. That would be awesome.
I cant believe elon musk stole my dream girl😡😡😡
she's so intelligent, yet so down to earth and relatable at the same time like she's the total opposite of pretentious if you know what i mean
Hi,how are you,how is the weather today?
She is so good at being herself. weird compliment but it's just like her carefree yet lazer-focused vibe.. She's just so sincere and it's like she never even thought of being anyone else except herself. I want to be that free
Not only is she fantastically good at creating both musical and visual art, there really isn't another artist like her--well, no duh, everyone's different, but she's Grimes, she doesn't just have one genre; she's her OWN genre.
i love how she expresses her passion and explains things
She gets it. She's perfect for an era where there is more than one cartoon band, where Sasha Cohen and Steven Colbert exist in both reality and perception. To paraphrase Charles Manson, There are two men, there is the idea crafted by the media and the reality, hidden away.
Enjoy the art project, of the creation of "self", Miss Boucher.
Some inspiration for all you anime kids
Amen
I love how she goes out and express herself and interacts with the public
"i love humanity" bro I love u
grimes confirmed weeb
Uuriu Anyone who watches a music video by her or Janelle Monáe already knew.
Gosh she’s so dang cool
As far as artists go she is pretty insightful, genuine, and down to earth.
You're fantastic Grimes! Your wonderful and deep music thrills me everytime i hear it. Lots of Love!
It's incredible to see how passionate she is about making music. Nowadays when 'pop' is dominated by the same things, Claire Boucher continually strives to create something new, but still call it 'pop'- and that is so refreshing. Well done on a great year and keep on powering through :)
she's like a hipster-ish helga pataki
Wow I thought I was the only one who thought that. XD
😂😂😂
Grimes is one of my faves.
it's the only music i can listen to all day everyday that I won't get bored with! I love grimes and Claire is an amazing and BEAUTIFUL girl~
Long convos with Elon is guaranteed
Her growth as an artist here even just compared to two years earlier when she was still a musical "baby" of sorts is amazing and inspiring.
when she's playing with her hair behind her back omg she's so cute grimes ily
She likes herself the way she is and doesn't need to conform to current standards of beauty. It's refreshing to see that.
It’s it amazing how in this 2012 interview she talks about just always being on a budget - and now that’s probably not much of an issue..... but I’m assuming she is thankful for having experienced the struggle most of us as artists face 💜
She comes from a rich family. She's as fake as her recent plastic surgeries
she’s so unique i love her
Love that Grimes - and Claire is just too cute for words.
Living off of your art must’ve been so satisfying when she first started
I definitely expected her to have an accent haha idek why. Shes so beautiful, a very smart and talented girl
Shes just.... Just Very interesting
Her little lisp is just so cute!!!
lol the difference between her normal voice and singing voice! I love her creative outlook on music :)
I didn't expect her to have such a deep voice haha.
So many air quotes, lol. I love her!!
My heart just melted.
So she did the cover for visions herself?
Yes
Thanks y'all.
I love her playing with her hair behind her back
I love her. So original.
It's so much fun to hear her talk and watch her physical movements.
wow...i've been getting more and more interested in her music and thought to randomly look up an interview. she's a lot different than i was expecting. you can tell she's intelligent and unique right off the bat. and i love how she gestures so much with her hands. true creative spirit in that girl....
i really like her
Great interview! Her drawings are so amazing!
The Illuminati artists are the ones wearing the Gucci watches in their Bentlys, not thrift store outfits at their art exhibit, man :)
Um she’s with Elon so what do you think lol
i miss this era
She's freaking adorable! :3
Also adorable. . . :>
she is so talented and beautiful...I love Grimes
She's so intelligent, and she has so many various artistic abilities. I love Grimes. x
I first wasn`t a fan of her but now I love her, she is different and I like that
Damn im in love with this girl!
she's awesome
she's so refreshing :)
I like this girl. She's very well-spoken and has a cool vibe. Grimes, you've got a fan in me!
She talks with her hands so much and I love it
I fucking love her.... fucking love her
I was going to say the same thing. The first time I heard an interview of hers I was struck by her thought process and it's speed...
so was that art gallery her work?
The beauty of actual unique-ness & creativy.
I love her so much 😍
wow, how profound. you're so smart. going by the fact that i was merely going by what artist has said about her own music explain to me how I'm wrong. then go to grimes herself and tell her.......btw, with all these fan boy responses i feel sort of famous.
i guess i am in love with this girl......
she's one of the best musicians of all time... and she's even bttr at visual art.... awesome talent!
I love Grimeth! She'th thuper unique and talented!
i don't think anyone will ever inspire me as much as claire boucher has
She's so talented, and intelligent.
Convinced of her absolute BRILLIANCE.
2:37 "I care about production more than[...] building an image or something. Although that is sort of becoming a thing that (I realize) You can use to wield a lot of power..." ... 2:42 // "We appreciate power" (!) ;)
i dont like alot of new stuff, in fact i dont like any new music and i think most new artists are mainstream bubblegum puppets. this girl is real and this is what ive been wanting since the 90s
What a talented girl......great artist
she is so creative
grimes is my god damn favorite
she talks really fast
I think she's nervous!
Ella Smithers It shows she's human. I love it. :)
No big deal, but she regularly uses speed (aka amphetamine or Adderall).
She is the speed of light !!!
Finally! A good artist on ABC news, congrats!
Damn she made it on abc news. Who would’ve thought
I like that all the interviews I’ve clicked on have repeating numbers👽👽👽👽👽👽
she is so cool!
Ah, she is lovely
Inspiring.
abc just got their minds blown!
she's precious
I space out on her music
Oh viva Grimes!
I wish she lived here so I could be her friend. Or at least go to her shows. Oh, Grimes.
shes such an inspiration!
Introverts have tended to be some of the smartest and kindest people i've known, just need to give them a chance. Some people just can't grasp how what some do for fun. Drinking parties ect is their stress reliever yet to some it's actually the stressor with quieter alone time being the relaxer.
Her and her music is so swell and unique!
a true artist anyone who has a passion for the arts can sense it
very cool girl
I love her art!
I also started making art by trying to draw anime hahaha
She sets the standard
Wait...she's from CANADA. From the way she sings I thought she was from Iceland or something. This is hilarious.
#notbjork
but ily grimes
She's so awkward and cute, love it!
