Grimes Says She’s Not Releasing Songs ‘About Elon’ on Upcoming Album ‘Psy Opera’ — Yet
The project is divided into two parts, with the second more heavily focused on her personal life.
Grimes' upcoming album, Psy Opera, is set for release, and the artist has revealed that there will be no songs about her ex, Elon Musk. During a guest appearance on Swiftologist's Proto Pop podcast, Grimes discussed the conceptual nature of Psy Opera, which is heavily inspired by her relationship with artificial intelligence. The album will be released in two parts, the second of which will delve deeper into her personal life.
Grimes stated that the first album focused on technology themes intentionally, as she did not want to focus on Elon Musk at the beginning. However, she expressed regret that the album did not blend personal and conceptual elements more evenly. Grimes previously mentioned Psy Opera in an April interview with Interview, sharing a video trailer with futuristic visuals and biblical references.
She emphasized her use of generative AI on only one track, aiming to explore the complexities of the technology rather than endorsing it. The release of Psy Opera comes more than five years after Grimes' last album, Miss Anthropocene, and marks her first full-length since separating from Musk, with whom she shares three children.
