Grimes & i_o ‘Violence’ Video

Grimes returns with the stunning video to her latest single 'Violence' with producer i_o. Directed by Grimes herself, the Canadian singer appears to be a sensual warrior as she is surrounded by sword-swinging women who are also heroines with a high dose of sensuality.

Janelle Monáe ‘PYNK’ Video

With her new album 'Dirty Computer' landing April 27th', Janelle Monáe drops another video on the world dubbed 'PYNK'. Teaming up with Grimes for more of a pop sound, the Emma Westenberg-directed video features Monáe and a crew of women celebrating the female existence, there is a lot of dancing and slogans on panties such as "I Grab Back". You can also catch actress Tessa Thompson in various clips. While shades of pink decorate parts of the video, you can also conclude that the song pays hommage to a specific female body part. Have a look.

Grimes ‘California’ Video

Pop star Grimes shares the video for her single 'California'. Shot in a not so California-like setting, the Canadian artist goes from sweeping the floor of a studio filled with classic sculptures to performing on stage with a wacky lot who look like they should be in a circus. At one point in the video, there is a cowboy carrying a mermaid on stage. Is it a little weird? Perhaps, but the one thing you can't call it is boring.

Grimes ‘Kill V. Maim’ Video

Pop star Grimes delivers futuristic and odd (to say the least) visuals for the official video to 'Kill V. Maim'. What can be described as a dark underground goth party, similar to the opening scenes in the movie 'Blade', Grimes dance along with her girl gang in a subway station, while in other clips they drive around in a pink, rocketing vehicle. 'Kill V. Maim' is taken from her latest LP 'Art Angels'. Have a look.

Grimes ‘Flesh without Blood/Life in the Vivid Dream’ Video

According to Grimes via Twitter, her song 'Flesh without Blood' has absolutely nothing to do with a break-up. Although that may be true, her video for the track, along with 'Life in the Vivid Dream', is definitely a strange one as the Canadian artist is dressed up with angel wings whilst on a bed with friends, as it seems to be a representation of heaven. There is also a clip where she is dressed like a royal queen as she prances about on a tennis court. Both tunes act as a launching pad to propel Grimes further into the pop stratosphere, but going back to the words of Grimes yet again via Twitter, these are only a few styles that are represented on the album. We should also note that Grimes also directed the video. Both songs are taken from her forthcoming LP 'Art Angel'. Have a look.

Grimes Shares Cover to New Album ‘Art Angels’

Grimes has revealed the cover to her new album which is entitled 'Art Angels'. The trippy LP art was actually created by Grimes herself. The Canadian artist is also gearing up for her worldwide Acid Reign tour with January dates beginning in Japan and February through March taking place in the UK and mainland Europe.
