Grimes has released her fifth album, the concept work Miss Anthropocene, which deals with ideas of the celebrity, climate change, and the individual consumer’s rabid obsession with the image of a pop star.
Miss Anthropocene is, according to Grimes herself, the result of an attempt to anthropomorphise climate change into some sort of villainous goddess figure. “She’s naked all the time and she’s made out of ivory and oil,” says Grimes. The name is also a conflation of the term “misanthrope.”
Boucher’s aims at bringing further awareness to the climate crisis are noble. “I want to make a reason to look at it,” she told The Wall Street Journal last year. “I want to make it beautiful.”
The brand new album comes in both Standard and Deluxe forms, the latter featuring new remixes never before heard.
You can watch the video for ‘Delete Forever’ below, which has already reached 1 Million views.
In a recent video for Genius explaining the lyrics, Grimes opened up about how the song is about how she lost multiple friends to Heroin, and still fully hasn’t dealt with all the grief that comes with losing the ones you love.
