I mean, who hides a party track 9 songs in? It’s not used gratuitously, it’s specifically in there to torch some oxygen into the hot air balloon before the ride comes down. In context it serves as one massive flare to balance the whole album out. Alone, it’s fantastic but an incorrect glimpse at what this album is. It’s an insane party jam featuring Young Thug and Popcaan and a soul sample and it gets you hype-a very different emotion from the rest of the album. On first listen this sticks out from the rest of the album-in a good way-but it does feel unlike the rest. Fast forward 8 more songs from the opener, after you’ve been become fairly comfortable in the sparks of delight, and you’re hit with “I Know There’s Gonna Be (Good Times)”. The whole album is structured in this way, essentially.
Right at the point of questioning where this is going a swelling and haunting high pitched caw flys over the bassy foundation and transforms the song completely. In a snapshot of this, the opening “Gosh” spends the majority of the song building off of shuffling drum loops, slowly getting louder and more intense. In Colour is a fantastic ride that is perfectly paced and has impeccably placed flares of different sizes and forms consistently appearing at just the right times. This record wasn’t on my radar at all until the day it came out, so it’s been one of my most surprising enjoyments this year. She is experimenting with different voices and noises and feels, but it’s all kept on track with a single and powerful vision for the album-hard fought feminism. The result is something that feels freeing and fun.

Grimes, hardly a pop star, and someone who never seemed comfortable in full on strangeness, was able to reel it in and polish it up with some pop sensibilities. Lady Gaga, Miley, even Sia, they’re all pop stars first who are coating it on thick with the weird-it’s kind of icky. But as you know, that balance works best when it’s a weirdo exploring the depths of pop music and so much less so when it’s a pop star trying to get weird. After all, the cross section of weirdo and pop is a sweet spot for me. But when I heard the world confusedly trying to make sense of a heavily pop influenced Grimes album, it was enough for me give it a poke. Visions and earlier had always come off as a try-hard attempt at weirdness and it never sat right with me.
