Grimes has left her deal with Columbia Records, Billboard reports citing the musician’s manager, Daouda Leonard. Grimes announced her Columbia signing in March 2021. She released two singles via the label, “Player of Games” and “Shinigami Eyes.”
Prior to signing with Columbia, Grimes released her music via independent labels, namely Arbutus and 4AD. She has been teasing Book 1, her follow-up to Miss Anthropocene. “Album is done we’re mixing,” she tweeted last year. “My friend and I. perfected the last song in the plastic surgery clinic cuz they wouldn’t let me leave and we were laughing that this was the most Hollywood moment of all time. I have 20 songs so maybe BOOK 1 and BOOK 2? Deciding format/ tracklist.”
