Main Pop Girl Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Any fans of Grimes know that she's a thoughtful, sensitive person. She's written well-reasoned screeds against drugs and sexism, and recently caught a good amount of crap for protesting the ALS Ice Bucket challenge on the grounds that the ALS Association tests on animals, not to mention that she didn't want to waste water during the California drought."All these people with AL.S were like, 'You're the worst person ever.' I was crying for days," she revealed in a New York Times Magazine profile. Naturally, her critics didn't seem to register the part where she donated to the Malala Fund, a charity that supports education for girls, instead. These days, that's par for the course when it comes to being a female celebrity with opinions, but Grimes seems like she just can't ignore the idiots out there.Unfortunately, the negativity out there is also affecting the 26-year-old's music. A few months ago, she released "Go", a track she wrote for Rihanna that was ultimately rejected by the pop star. While many of us enjoyed it (for the record, SPIN included "Go" on our list of the 57 Best Songs of 2014 So Far), a vocal contingent of Grimes fans apparently let her know they weren't happy about this change in direction. "It upsets a lot of my fans, and I get why it upsets them. Everybody was like, 'Oh, Grimes is pandering to the radio,'" she said.This reaction led Grimes to scrap her entire follow-up to the 2012 breakout, Visions."It sucked, so I threw it out and started again," she said. She seems happy with the decision, saying, "I'm just making way more music," and we hope it comes from a place of confidence instead of insecurity. Still, we have to wonder if signing to Jay Z's Roc Nation hasn't ramped up the pressure to deliver a grander sound now that she's experienced fame. Fingers crossed she makes the album she truly wants to make, and learns to tune out the bullshit.The only song that I've liked from her so far and it forces her to cancel her entire album... I hope she still has some bangers on the new album and doesn't just make the boring music that her stans want from her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matilda Mantis Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Since we won't get 'Go' we better get another 'Oblivion' or I am out TBH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradise Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Y'all need to chill... She said on twitter that this happened over 7 months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main Pop Girl Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 She needs to grow a pair of tits and move on I kind of agree tbh. She shouldn't have criticized such a popular fad and not expected people to drag her over it. Y'all need to chill... She said on twitter that this happened over 7 months ago.Whaaa? But 'Go' was only released like three months ago... That makes no sense whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Go is her best single to date, she should continue with that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 'Go' was only released like three months ago... That makes no sense whatsoever.But it was made probably a year if not two years ago. Because it was wrote for and pitched to Rihanna, it was kinda a leftover Grimes had. Presumably, she created an album that perhaps would have sounded like Go and then she scrapped what she had. That's my understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my understanding. So wait, she wrote a whole album and scrapped it seven months ago but decided to release 'Go' as a stand-alone single anyway? That's confusing...

That's confusing...She just really liked the song I guess. :oops: I think it was worth a release regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm happy that she released it at all tbh! Just a weird way to do things... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
