Canadian artist Grimes has dropped her brand new single ‘I Wanna Be Software’ – and it’s a banger. Produced by Illangelo, who has worked alongside The Weeknd, the new single is the first contribution to her long-awaited project, Book I.
Grimes has said the project is the start of a “new chapter” for her work and fans are already loving the fresh sound. The track follows her collaboration with Anyma, ‘Welcome To The Opera’.
The Canadian artist also recently discussed her thoughts on AI and streaming services, saying she believes they should have a section dedicated for it. She also revealed she is currently beta testing her own AI voice mimicking software, which will allow users to record vocals in Grimes’ voice.
A hit single from Kito, featuring ‘AI Grimes’, was released shortly after. The songstress went on to talk about the importance of consent when it comes to AI and the use of artist’s voices by other people.
“I think it’s good to have consent,” she said. “It wouldn’t personally bother me, but I still think it’s good to respect people, like if they don’t want that… It is a lot, you are like foregoing creative control. And so you sort of have to be open to that.”
