The 38-year-old singer is set to drop her first LP in seven years when Psy Opera is released in 2027, and she insisted the AI-inspired album won't feature any tracks about her billionaire ex.
She told the Swiftologist podcast: "I really didn’t want to write… I just didn’t want any of this to be about Elon."
However, Grimes hinted that there is more to come with the LP being released in two parts, and the second being "100 percent personal".
When she was asked if her personal life was too high stakes to open up about in song, she brushed off the idea.
She added: "Not at all. I just... they couldn't come first."
Referencing the technological and artificial intelligence themes of the record, she explained: “And I felt like this stuff is very relevant."
The Canadian artist (real name Claire Boucher) recently posted the pair of new tracks on her official Soundcloud profile.
Grimes Asks People to ‘Stop Posting Images of My Kid Everywhere’
"I would really, really appreciate that," the musician said in a new interview
“Obviously no time was spent on it but my old manager at would always pester me to finish it and make it a banger but I forgot I suppose. Def has a lot of potential tho I’ll probably make a better topline and produce it one day.”
Over on her Instagram Stories feed, she said: “I’m sorry my album is taking so long – as penance here is a 2009 demo that probably should have been finished. I always promise yall the demos – they’re just little ideas started but nonetheless.”
Grime has responded to the online fervor after Elon Musk recently paraded their four-year-old son around the White House. Speaking to Time in a new interview about technology and AI, Grimes requested that people stop posting photos of her child publicly.
The singer was asked, “There were a lot of reactions online when you tweeted about your son X’s appearance in the Oval Office. What was your reaction to that moment?”
“It was like, ‘Grimes slams,’ ‘Grimes speaks out,'” she said. “It’s like, OK, it was a reply. But I would really like people to stop posting images of my kid everywhere. I think fame is something you should consent to. Obviously, things will just be what they are. But I would really, really appreciate that. I can only ask, so I’m just asking.”
Musk brought the former couple’s eldest child, X Æ A-Xii (or X for short), to the Oval Office earlier this month. At the time, Grimes tweeted in response to the many photos of the moment, “He should not be in public like this. I did not see this, thank u for alerting me. But I’m glad he was polite. Sigh.”
