Claire Elise Boucher, known professionally as Grimes, is a Canadian musician, singer, songwriter, producer and visual artist known for synth-pop and experimental electronic music.

Publicly verifiable facts reflected in reviews and public records: Claire Elise Boucher performs as Grimes; she writes and produces much of her music, handles visuals/artwork and videos; Art Angels was released on 4AD; Miss Anthropocene is presented as a concept album about climate change; reviewers note a shift toward darker, industrial sounds on Miss Anthropocene and strong early work on Geidi Primes and Visions. The reviews also reference her having a child publicly reported as X Æ A-12.

DeBaser's reviews portray Grimes as a talented, hands-on artist whose early and Art Angels-era work receives strong praise for voice, imagination and production. Visions and Miss Anthropocene divide critics: Visions is seen as overhyped or underdeveloped, Miss Anthropocene noted for its climate-change concept and darker, industrial tones. Reviewers repeatedly highlight that Claire Boucher writes, produces and handles visuals for her work.

For:fans of experimental pop, synth-pop and electronic music; music critics and curious listeners

 Art Angels is one of the most interesting albums in recent years, and I gladly leave aside the technical aspects, the meticulous care of every single detail, the intelligent way in which form and substance blend, that being so close to the mainstream yet in an intelligent and responsible way.

 Grimes herself declares it: "[...] to make the climate change fun [and] make a reason to look at it".

 This Claire Boucher from Vancouver, who debuted in the 2010s with Geidi Primes, had immense potential, a crystal-clear talent.

  Discover the review

 it is a barely sufficient album where she retraces her career to the point of sometimes seeming like a poor imitation of herself in some of the tracks ("New gods" and "Before the fever," for example).

 "Much Ado About Nothing" is the perfect definition of this album.
