Artist: Grimes
Release Date: June 26, 2014
Track: “Go“
Claire Boucher, or more famously known as pop’s elf queen Grimes, just dropped her first release in almost two years on Zane Lowe’s BBC Radio 1 Show.
The new summer track “Go”, created with the help of Boucher’s friend and producer Blood Diamonds, was originally intended for pop-superstar Rihanna. And even though the song’s a Rihanna reject, Grimes manages to create an enchanting dreamscape with sugary vocals accompanied by a backdrop of echo-y screams and an EDM freak-out. Since it was orginally written for Ri Ri, it’s a little more commercial than a typical Grimes song and features a healthy dose of dubstep for the club kids.
Nonetheless, the track captures Grimes’ trademark airy ambiance and fuses it with some body-moving beats to create a sugary sweet summer jam that leaves your mouth watering for her fourth studio album, which has yet to be given an official release date.
