Grimes’ innovative approach to music production, often self-directed, and her ability to create elaborate visuals for her music videos have solidified her status as a leading figure in the electronic music genre.

Her fourth studio album, “Art Angels,” released in 2015, was hailed as one of the best albums of the year by multiple publications, showcasing her evolution as an artist. Grimes continued to push boundaries with her fifth album, “Miss Anthropocene,” released in 2020, which further explored complex themes and showcased her versatility as a musician.
