Depois de lutar para entrar em sua era de diretora de cinema, Hayley Kiyoko ainda não acabou de tomar as rédeas.

O disco será o primeiro do artista experimental desde o 'Miss Anthropocene' de 2020 e foi anunciado nas redes sociais com um vídeo enigmático.

In the clip, Grimes starts with the message “Please wait patiently for the failure of the system” before speaking over the top, saying: “Welcome to the game” and talking about themes including God, Eden and artificial intelligence.

Check the video out below, which also showcases the surreal visuals Grimes has designed for the record.

Embora o tema da inteligência artificial seja um dos cruciais para o álbum, a cantora já assegurou aos fãs que não utilizou nenhuma IA para compor as músicas.

The first taster of the record is out now in the form of the dark and ravey track ‘Accelerando’, which Grimes has made in collaboration with VADAKIN and captures the harsh, intense energy expected across the full album.

As for the rest of the record, the artist has revealed that it will not feature any songs about her ex Elon Musk. The Canadian artist (real name Claire Boucher) shares three children with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO: X Æ A-Xii (aka Lil X), Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, and Techno Mechanicus (aka Tau).

Os dois anunciaram seu fim em setembro de 2021, confirmando que se separaram depois de três anos juntos, mas “ainda se amam”.

The official release date for ‘Psyopera’ has not been shared, but when it does come out it will be the first Grimes record to be shared on her own label, Nazgul Recording LLC.

Also in her interview on the Swiftologist podcast, Grimes said that the theme of AI was integral for the record because she thinks it is “very relevant” to modern life – but also admitted that she wishes she had “a bit more of the emotions on this side and a bit more computer on the other side”.

Earlier this year, Grimes hit out at labels for “now investing in AI” and using the technology to “use [an artists’] IP to literally recreate” them, and in 2024, she said the use of AI in music “will probably shape all minds going forward for the rest of time”.

Boucher and CreateSafe previously teamed up with Slipstream to make 200+ Grimes AI songs available for content creators to use on any platform, “opening up new horizons for artistic expression”.

Durante o verão, a artista Grimes fez uma aparição surpresa no Coachella 2026, e antes disso ela compartilhou uma nova música chamada 'Artificial Angels', que foi escrita da perspectiva da inteligência artificial.

After sharing the music video, she took to social media to draw attention to a new tattoo she got on her face which “literally no one noticed”.
