Review

Grimes' third studio album, "Visions", cemented her as one of the most innovative voices in electronic and indie pop. Recorded quickly in her Montreal apartment on simple software like GarageBand, the album exudes a DIY spirit that brought her local scene into the spotlight. Essenceless yet catchy, her songs blend haunting falsetto vocals with crunchy beats and tinkling synths into a strange, alluring soundscape.

Hit singles like "Oblivion" and "Genesis" garnered raves from outlets such as Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and NME, and the album's critical acclaim translated into a Juno win and Polaris Music Prize nomination. At once a pop gem and an experimental gem, "Visions" feels ahead of its time, with the decade's #2 song according to Pitchfork and a place on NME's greatest albums list. Grimes has crafted a sonically adventurous, emotionally immersive indie pop classic. - Sylvie
