Grimes wrote new single "Delete Forever" on the night Lil Peep died
Grimes has revealed that she wrote her new single "Delete Forever" on the night Lil Peep died from an accidental drug overdose.
"Delete Forever" is lifted from Grimes' forthcoming Miss Anthropocene album, and arrives after previous singles "4ÆM", "My Name is Dark", "So Heavy I Fell Through The Earth", and "Violence".
Speaking about the new single with Zane Lowe on his Apple Music Beats 1 show, Grimes says, "I mean, the song is pretty, it's a pretty bummer song. Oh my God, I'm so bad at talking about this song. I guess it's kind of about the opioid epidemic and that kinda thing 'cause I've had quite a few friends actually pass away in particular one friend when I was like 18 passed away, from complications related to opioid addiction. It's just like artists keep dying and stuff so, I wrote this song on the night Lil Peep died or whatever 'cause I just got super-super triggered by that."
Miss Anthropocene will be Grimes' first album since 2015's Art Angels.
In November 2019 Grimes and Zola Jesus had a lengthy discussion on Twitter about AI and the future of music.
