Overview
- Grimes announced Psy Opera and released its lead single 'Accelerando' on Monday, calling the track dark and ravey and crediting collaborator VADAKIN.
- She told the Swiftologist podcast that the first part of the album will not include any songs about her ex, Elon Musk, and that the project will be issued in two parts with the second described as "100 percent personal."
- Grimes says the record is explicitly themed around AI and technology and described artificial intelligence as a "mirror" that reflects human behavior.
- The artist has stated she did not use AI to create the songs on Psy Opera while continuing to engage publicly with AI projects such as licensing material through CreateSafe and Slipstream.
- No official release date has been set but NME reports the album will appear on Grimes's Nazgul Recording LLC label and the record marks her first full-length since 2020's Miss Anthropocene, a development that will likely keep attention on music, AI and artist rights.
