It looks like Grimes and Poppy are teaming up for a new track
It looks a helluva lot like Grimes is set to release a new collaboration with viral popstar/performance art project Poppy...
The Canadian producer has teased a few images of the two together, including the words "soon..." and something that looks like lyrics. Is this gonna be the follow up to her recent Janelle Monáe collab?!
Poppy is currently being sued alongside close collaborator Titanic Sinclair by Mars Argo, who alleges "severe emotional and psychological abuse" by Sinclair and "identity copying" by Poppy - not everyone is super convinced by Grimes' apparent work with the latter.

As well as the possible new track, Grimes has revealed that a B-sides collection is still in the works:
yeah but after some other releases, have been taking a renewed crack at that track tho

Grimes' most recent album Art Angels arrived in 2015 - although she's hardly been quiet in the years since its release, contributing to the Suicide Squad OST, teaming up with HANA to cover Tegan and Sara, and releasing a lot of music videos.
Grimes has spoken about the Art Angels follow up a few times, describing it as "slow and heavy" with "chill vibes, downtempos, synth-y shit". She also said last summer that she was "in the studio every day trying to legit make something you’ve never heard before." Late last year she played some to her label and revealed the full LP was almost complete, and a few months ago she said that two new Grimes records would land in 2018.
