Grimes recorded a music video on iPhone
She recorded a music video in Mexico for a song that isn't a single. It's a black vs white swan fight sequence. She said the editing will take long because it was recorded on iPhone.

Shinigami Eyes is the label executive decision song
Grimes did an interview about “Shinigami Eyes” with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe, in which she called it “the label executive decision song.”
”Well, actually, OK, so this song, I’m not sure what I should say or not say. I always say a bunch of stupid **** and get in trouble, but either way. This is the label executive decision song. I love the record, but it’s just like, everyone’s like, what’s the deeper meaning?”
She says, “Basically, I wrote the whole space opera thing and this is the only song that wasn’t this big narrative plot. This is the label executive decision song. Sorry. I’m just undermining the marketing strategy.”

She also said that Book 1 has expanded into a double album: ” made a bunch of stuff and I just want to make a bunch more stuff. There’s just more kind of sonic, conceptual ideas that I think need to get done to make everything make more sense. And we kind of have two album covers and it seems like a waste to throw on one of them away.” 

Grimes plans to go indie
The reason I [signed to a major] is because I wanted more resources to make visual art. But, in retrospect I think the industry is too kind of slow, ultimately for me to stay in the system this way. I will definitely a hundred percent go independent after this and I will never sign to a label again. And that’s not to say… Columbia’s actually been really amazing. It’s funny because I did that NFT thing literally days before I signed to Columbia and I didn’t think… That was before NFT’s were popping and I did not think that would be a big deal. I was like, oh, we might make like 5K, 10K. That would be super sweet. That has enabled me to probably be independent now. And because I want to start doing more interesting stuff. I really care about changing the business and I feel like I’m in a good position now with my team to start trying to do stuff. Not having any copyright, not having any take downs on my music and all that kind of stuff. As soon as I’m done with Columbia, that’s definitely something that I really care about and also finding ways to innovate within that.

It's bad to me, kinda groovy, but it's sure bad by her standard.

Sounds like more wasted time with releasing this damn album quicker.... But if that means more content, yay I guess? Not sure I understood if the songs on the EP will be featured on the album or not.

i think the ep is just a move to get out of her contract faster, she teased shinigami eyes a while ago and it lowkey had a lot of hype but it didn't match the rest of the album's vibe and that's why claire decided to take it off the record, but to keep columbia happy she's also releasing an ep (with SE on) besides the album, both separate things and concepts

on book 1 she seems like she's some kind of warrior meanwhile on fairies cum first she's an elf

... and now i just sit in silence.

Lol her rollout has been so messy, whatever I'm here for it mostly. Just wish the music this era was less generic EDM though.

If Shinigami Eyes and Player Of Games is anything to go by for this new album, it will be a serious downgrade from both Miss Anthropocene and Art Angels.
