Grimes says first part of new album will focus on AI, not Elon Musk
Grimes says her upcoming album, Psy Opera, will be released in two parts.
She described the first part as conceptual and focused on her relationship with artificial intelligence, rather than her former partner Elon Musk.
Grimes said the second part will be entirely personal and offer more insight into her life.
She has said she regrets not mixing the personal and technology themes more evenly across the two parts.
She also said she used generative AI on only one track, to explore the technology rather than endorse it.
The album will be her first full-length release in six years and her first since her split from Musk, with whom she has three children.
The sources do not give a release date.
