Grimes reveals that he will release a fully remixed edition of his latest album, Miss Anthropocene, on New Year’s Day
Grimes is planning to start the new year strongly.
On Monday, the 32-year-old songbird announced that on New Year’s Day she will release a fully remixed version of her latest album, Miss Anthropocene, titled Miss Anthropocene Rave Edition.
The LP was originally released in February after about two years of development and will feature new art.
Soon: on Monday, Grimes announced that he will release a remixed version of his latest album, Miss Anthropocene, on New Year’s Day; she is seen performing in 2016
The artists contributing to the next album include Channel Tres, ANNA and Julien Brecht, among others.
The remixed album will have two tracks remixed by Grimes herself, who recently debuted in a DJ mix that she presented to Apple Music.
As indicated by the title, the newly mixed songs will have a touch of EDM, in contrast to the industrial electropop sound from the original album.
The album was the last that Grimes produced for his ex-4AD label and it is unclear whether the remixed album will be released under the banner as well.

Miss Anthropocene vaguely follows a narrative centered around a divine embodiment of the continuing effects of climate change and was considered to be inspired by Roman mythology.
The album’s themes have also been removed from Grimes’ exposure to the press in recent years, due to his high-profile relationship with Tesla founder Elon Musk.
In an interview with Crack published just before the initial release of Miss Anthropocene, the musician talked about how she felt that her public perception was distorted and misinterpreted, to the detriment of her musicality.
“Without me doing anything, just by random association with other people, I saw my career and reputation completely destroyed,” she noted.
Long time to come: Miss Anthropocene was the result of two years of work and is the fifth overall album by the musician

Grimes began his career playing at warehouse shows in Montreal and released two albums in 2010, both received positively.
In 2012, she debuted her third album Visions, which contained the single Genesis; the song, was voted one of the best songs of the year by many music publications, including NME and Rolling Stone.
Three years later, Grimes released Art Angels, which was acclaimed by several reviewers and sources.
In recent years, the musician has recorded a track for use in the action role-playing game Cyberpunk 2077 and provided the voice for the game’s character Lizzy Wizzy.
