After what's felt like years of teasing, early retirement announcements, and celebrity drama,Grimes has finally emerged from her elaborate "fitness" routine long enough to detail the long-awaited follow-up to 2015's Art Angels.
Grimes' fifth studio album, Miss Anthropocene, officially arrives on February 21, 2020 via 4AD. In addition to unveiling the 10-song tracklist, she's shared an atmospheric new single, "So Heavy I Fell Through the Earth," which opens the album. The multi-instrumentalist released two mixes of the track: a six-minute "Art Mix" edition, and another four-minute version more fit for the radio, called the "Algorithm Mix."
In the track's earworm of a chorus, Grimes sings about an all-powerful love: "So heavy I fell through the earth/ Cuz I'm full of love from you."
Also, in true Grimes fashion, "So Heavy" comes with a visual depicting her equipped with a sword and... preparing to fight a dragon? This follows "Violence," another Miss Anthropocene track that came with a self-directed video full of still more sword fighting and choreography. Never change.
