Grimes has lobbed the whole kit and kaboodle after a quasi-negative reaction to “Go”, which featured pal and producer, Blood Diamonds.
Ditched by Rihanna, who it was originally intended for, “Go” was instead put out by Grimes herself, apparently to mixed reactions. Chatting to the New York Times, Grimes explains her cut-throat verdict to Visions’ follow-up: “It upsets a lot of my fans, and I get why it upsets them,... everybody was like, ‘Oh, Grimes is pandering to the radio.’”
Just when we thought it might be coming out, the studio drags her back in.
Watch the main (and actually quite great) offender, “Go”, below.
