Grimes' New Album: Not About Elon Musk

Grimes, the Canadian electro-pop artist also known as Claire Boucher, has shared details about her upcoming AI-inspired album, "Psy Opera." She stated that she intentionally did not want the music to be about her past relationship with Elon Musk, with whom she has three children. The album is slated for a two-part release, with the second part described as more personal.

"Psy Opera" will explore themes of artificial intelligence acting as a mirror to humanity, Grimes' personal journey into nihilism, and the complexities of motherhood. The singer indicated that the first part of the album is almost complete, while the second part, which is more emotionally driven, is still being refined.

Grimes described experiencing intense fear and a sense of being in a "Kafka-esque situation" for years, leading to feelings of guilt and anxiety. She also reflected on the challenges of motherhood, calling it a "violent thing" and expressing anger about the world her children are entering.
