Whether you've read all the year-end best albums lists or even just one, you probably noticed that  Grimes ' Art Angels  is often mentioned? including on ours, because, duh . Our latest  Fuse First artist explained the differences between creating her latest and 2012's Visions , her critically acclaimed breakout record.

"I made Visions in a couple weeks and Art Angels took me like a year. In that regard, there's a more diverse range of head spaces, where Visions, a lot of songs I made within a single day. Taking more time to write was great just in the sense that there were songs that four months before the album came out they were almost a year old at that point. I was able to step back, look at things and decide what was best, instead of kind of just throwing out everything that I made. 

"I love Visions as an album, but I do feel like there's a bit of filler. I was on a deadline, the release date was set before the album was done, and there were just unfinished things. It was really just what I made in that period; there wasn't a lot of demos. For this record, I got to try out a bunch of different styles and try a bunch of different things that I probably wouldn't have been able to do."
