GRIMES..New Favorite Artist of Mine

GRIMES, i found out about her through randomly browsing videos in youtube. At work, i usually listen to music by browsing through videos. And this is a good tip by the way for those who want to discover artists and bands that has the same genre as the video they are currently watching. Youtube has this suggested videos thingy and i love that thingy, cause that thingy brought me to GRIMES and other great bands and artists. So back to GRIMES. If you are partial on artists name, or you think the name of an artist should always be classy and catchy, then you would overlook GRIMES instantly, because, yeah well, an artist named GRIMES, i mean, yeah its not your usual mainstream artist name, so get away from here, cause this is not mainstream. And grimes is so unlike her name, well maybe a little, but let me post a picture.

She is so cute, and the way she plays live, ok ive only seen videos, cause i was not able to catch her when she had a gig here in Manila last March 15, 2013 (i'm actually cussing right now cause i recently just found out about this...eff!), is really amazing. Because she does all the sounds and the vocals and all of those other sounds playing on her songs. I sometimes close my eyes with my headset on and listen to every bit of sound being played in her songs, i find it so amazing that she alone was the one who conjured all those sounds. And here's a video of her live and being amazing.

She actually have this certain eccentricity and weirdness that I love. And i also love her idea of not having the lyrics to her song be known because she wanted the lyrics to be what the listener wants it to be. Like, it could be anything to you, but it can be different to others. I think i read from a comment once that she liked listening to songs with different language and that she actually puts meaning to them even when she doesn't know the exact meaning of the words and the song, and thats what she wants to bring to her listeners.

And if you do want to listen to grimes, you could check out the top three songs i love from her. Genesis, Oblivion and Nightmusic. And those songs have videos too, so you should definitely check them out because they are really amazing videos. I actually also love her song Vanessa, and i urge you to watch Vanessa because you need to tell me if you get as freaked out or a bit scared as i am at the end of this video.

I love grimes, because i have watched her interviews and she describes things and her process like she is just so full of knowledge and she is such a talented girl. She also draws her album art and stuff. She is also very hands on with the production of her album, and i think thats why everything about her song is just so mesmerizing. All the comments i see on youtube are like "she is so weird but im so hooked". Like, i dont know what it is either but she has this charm and her songs just pull you. There have been discussions about her illuminati involvement, but who knows. I prefer to think that she has pure talent and thats what makes people so into her despite the certain lovely weirdness.
