Was at her concert in Brussels last night, pretty good. She did a nice new version of Be a Body.

Grimes put out a video for California today... seems like a reworked version.

When I saw the bump, I hoped it'd be a video for Venus Fly.

This version of California is much better than the album. Actually sounds like a Grimes song instead of a demo for another artist like the album version.

I like this version. It has a nice buildup. I tried listening to it in the context of the album (skipping past the crowd noises) and I'd say it's a much better segue from laughing and not being normal than the album version.

Grimes is super cute, i love her hair.

 

[capitalCORN]

Real nice rework of California, perhaps my least favourite track in the LP. Hope the single goes up soon.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Not sure why she felt the need to change the song so drastically - it was fantastic as it was. This new version really doesn't do it for me but at least the video is cute.

Interesting that she reworked this. Personally I found the original the only unlistenable track on the album. It was super bland and corny imo. This is leagues better

 

[Rabbit Clock]

I wonder why she changed it. It was honestly my favorite off that album. I guess the new one is ok. She shouldn't have kept any of the old version in this rework. The transition was awkward and didn't really work that well.

Hearing songs like World Princess make want another Gorillaz album produced by her. I think she'd be a great producer on one of those.

 

[C4Lukins]

Still a good song, but I think it could of been a crossover hit as was for her. The new version really removes any edge from the song and is over produced in comparison.

Wouldn't have been my choice for next single but it makes sense why she picked it. Also I like the reworked version. Very airy.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

I like the album version way more.

 

[hugocésar]

Great video. A lot of Lynchian vibes going on. Also, I love this reworked⁄remix version. I hope she puts it up on itunes as well.

 

[Dascu]

FYI - Videos are out now for a couple more songs: https://www.youtube.com/user/Grimezsz/videos

 

[Servbot24]

Tracks 1-4 and 10-14 are still on permanent rotation for me

 

[Futureman]

Dang... Grimes makes some bad videos. Weird as "Oblivion" and "Genesis" videos were great.

I think I read her brother makes the newer ones?

 

[ubique]

Yeah the videos from this album were all pretty bad

i liked the original version of california better tbh. one of my favorites from the album
