Whilst I was farting around on a new post, my one true musical bae, the beautiful and talented Grimes released this kick ass music video for 'Venus Fly' off of the album Art Angels a week ago. This music video features the gorgeous Janelle Monáe in a kick ass music video with the killer futuristic aesthetic that Grimes is known for. The song is definitely one of my favourites off the album. Which you can read more about in my post here.
Directed and edited by Grimes itself. The music video follows again in the same arc as the other Art Angels' videos. It continues the story of Grimes' angel through her downfall from grace. Absolutely incredible, it is worth the 7 minute watch. There is so much production value and art that has gone into this music video. It's got this distinct Grimes feel to it that makes you want to kick ass. The song has a killer bass, some fire violin solos, and an experimental electronic feel to it. It's a reminder that Grimes isn't afraid to challenge expectations; she isn't afraid to make music the way she wants to. You can hear this vibe throughout the whole Art Angels album, its incredible just how well the album tells a story and how even though each song has its individual sound, they mesh together perfectly. The electronic soundscape she creates goes beyond everything we had expected from her at that point. I am hoping and praying she takes this album on a global tour. What I would give to hear this song live.
So here is the music video, watch it and tell me just how much you love it as well.
