Grimes reveals why her BOOK 1 album is "so late"
Grimes has given an update on her new music, explaining why her BOOK 1 album is "so late".
It's been over a year since Grimes started teasing fans with her Miss Anthropocene follow-up BOOK 1, and in a new tweet shared earlier today (4 January), Grimes addressed the long wait for the album.
"I know BOOK 1 is so late," Grimes wrote. "Reason is minor legal stuff, but moreso… fame and notoriety is a unique hell. Not to say life isn’t blessed and my GOD ten time better = I’m the luckiest girl on earth, but do I want the attention an album brings? 100% nooo (with all due respect)."
"Ofc I’ll still release BOOK 1 & more. I owe y’all, the artists life is blessed and I take that seriously," Grimes continued. "But! My fam, best friends, and babies get dragged in no matter what i do,’ the narrative doesn’t belong to me. my friends/ fam r my whole Life - this is their battle too."
She added, "I’ll always release music but if it hasn’t been clear ; music is my side quest now. Tbh reduced pressure x increased freedom = prob more music just ideally “Low key I’ll always do my best to entertain whilst depleting my literal reputation I hope that’s ok I love y’all."
