Grimes has just released her fourth studio album, Art Angels. It collects fourteen tracks and features cameo appearances from Janelle Monae and Taiwanese rapper Aristophanes.

Speaking to Q earlier this year, she mentioned Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel and The Godfather trilogy among the things she channels on the album.

“One song on the album, ‘Kill V Maim’, is written from the perspective of Al Pacino in The Godfather Pt 2,” Grimes said. “Except he’s a vampire who can switch gender and travel through space.”

Art Angels also saw her change locations for further inspiration: “I wanted to get away from Hollywood bullshit. So I moved to Squamish, a small town in British Colombia. There was a lot of ‘crazy’ going on, but it was organised ‘crazy’ – like lying in the dark and seeing if I could hallucinate. It felt good, letting myself be a total fucking weirdo. And I had cookies.”
