Grimes Announces New Album, Diagnoses Herself With 'AI Psychosis'

Fresh off her Coachella set, Grimes has no plans of slowing down.

The Canadian musician revealed in a new interview that an upcoming album, Psy Opera, is not only in the works, but is also close to being finished. She also opened up about returning to music after vowing to leave the industry.

"It's not quite done," she admitted to Interview. "I totally quit music a couple of years ago. Everything I'd been going through with the public and my personal life and having kids, I was like, 'I'm just going to be a stay-at-home mom. Screw this. I started writing poetry, and then someone was like, 'Can you write a rap for this K-pop artist?' I started writing the rap and I was like, 'This is too good. I'm keeping this because it's crazy.'"

That material, she shared, will be in her upcoming album, which she describes as a mixture of pop, poetry and rap.

The "Genesis" singer also opened up about utilizing AI in her music production, revealing that one of the new tracks on her upcoming album, "DeepSeek," features lyrics written by the Chinese open-source AI model of the same name.

When asked by the outlet whether it felt like she had crossed the line, Grimes replied, "It felt awesome. I don't care about humans using generative AI. I might have AI psychosis. I just hope we get to live with superintelligent creatures who think differently from us."

Psy Opera follows the musician's 2020 album, Miss Anthropocene, which debuted atop the Billboard Top Dance/Electronic charts.
