Grimes Scrapped Her New Album Because Fans Didn*t Like *Go*
Negative response to her ALS protest also left her in tears
"If I push this button, my entire album will be deleted," says Grimes...
Any fans of Grimes know that she*s a thoughtful, sensitive person. She*s written well-reasoned screeds against drugs and sexism, and recently caught a good amount of crap forprotesting the ALS Ice Bucket challenge on the grounds that the ALS Association tests on animals, not to mention that she didn*t want to waste water during the California drought.
"All these people with AL.S were like, *You*re the worst person ever.* I was crying for days," she revealed in a New York Times Magazine profile. Naturally, her critics didn*t seem to register the part where she donated to the Malala Fund, a charity that supports education for girls, instead. These days, that*s par for the course when it comes to being a female celebrity with opinions, but Grimes seems like she just can*t ignore the idiots out there.
Unfortunately, the negativity out there is also affecting the 26-year-old*s music. A few months ago, she released "Go," a track she wrote for Rihanna that was ultimately rejected by the pop star. While many of us enjoyed it, a vocal contingent of Grimes fans apparently let her know they weren*t happy about this change in direction. "It upsets a lot of my fans, and I get why it upsets them. Everybody was like, *Oh, Grimes is pandering to the radio,*" she said.
This reaction led Grimes to scrap her entire follow-up to the 2012 breakout, Visions.
"It sucked, so I threw it out and started again," she said. She seems happy with the decision, saying, "I*m just making way more music," and we hope it comes from a place of confidence instead of insecurity. Still, we have to wonder if signing to Jay Z*s Roc Nation hasn*t ramped up the pressure to deliver a grander sound now that she*s experienced fame. Fingers crossed she makes the album she truly wants to make, and learns to tune out the bullshit.
GO从发行开始就有一些高冷的Hipsters Fans批评得体无完肤,
她也因为前段时间批评冰桶挑战收益的组织残酷的动物实验而遭到网民的谩骂,甚至让玻璃心妹妹哭了..
所以现在她决定把新专销毁,然后重新开始....
