Art Angels

Grimes embodies both a pop enigma and a "not like other girls" persona in Art Angels, showcasing creativity but falling short in consistency. While her breakthrough album Visions captivated with catchy songwriting and murky atmosphere, Art Angels leans towards mainstream pop without the passion or authentic gusto. Standout tracks like "Realiti" and "World Princess, Part 2" offer playful synth lines and earworm melodies, but are overshadowed by uninspired and overambitious misses like "Belly of the Beat" and "Scream". Despite moments of creativity in songs like "Venus Fly" and "Kill V. Maim", Grimes struggles to maintain quality throughout the album. Ultimately, Art Angels suffers from an imbalance between promising singles and lackluster tracks, highlighting Grimes' strengths as a singles artist but shortcomings in longer formats.
