Now her forthcoming record is leaving earth and heading out to the cosmos. Grimes is an artist, which means she doesn’t just “make records,” she has “concepts.” Like her fifth studio album, Miss Anthropocene, which was loosely based on an "anthropomorphic goddess of climate change" inspired by Roman mythology and villainy. It’s a “space opera” about a lesbian AI romance “And so the BOOK 1 era begins,” she wrote. In an Instagram post, Grimes finally revealed that her sixth studio album is called BOOK 1 - a title that implies the existence of further books to come. There’s still no official release date, but there’s plenty to get caught up on before the new age of Grimes begins. Its visually stunning cover - which shows an evil elf version of Grimes standing against a spectacular celestial backdrop, and feat of CGI engineering - further cements that the album will truly be uncharted territory for the pop star in scope and scale. It’s now been revealed that the project is titled Book 1. I just want it to be great, to be unequivocally just great art.” I… literally don’t care if anyone listens to this sh*t. “I think I went into this being like ‘I’m going to sign to a major label and I’m going to be a really big artist’ and all this stuff, and in that process, I started being like ‘no’. “I think it is by far my greatest work that I’ve ever done,” she said in a video interview with Vogue.
The singer has been dropping little bits of information regarding the forthcoming record in true Grimes fashion, often through Instagram comments, her own Discord community, or very fun TikTok videos. Even back in 2018, two years before the release of her record Miss Anthropocene, Grimes was dreaming up the music, saying she was “crazy stoked” about what was to come. Grimes is a visionary artist, and her highly anticipated sixth studio album is shaping up to be an exciting new era in her discography.
