UPDATE (January 27, 2022): Grimes has dropped her newest single titled “Shinigami Eyes.” The track comes with a futuristic music video guest starring BLACKPINK‘s Jennie.
Directed by Brthr, the visual features references from Japanese manga and anime series Death Note. As for the artists’ outfits, Grimes is seen in a custom-made nude scale-print, lit-up bodysuit by Asher Levine, while Jennie is dressed in a bright pink Candy Moto Biker Jacket created by the same designer.
In an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Grimes spoke about her latest song and said: “This is the label executive decision song. I love the record, but it’s just like, everyone’s like, what’s the deeper meaning? And it’s like, well, Nino Angelo just really had just watched Death Note and really liked it.” She added: “Basically, I wrote the whole space opera thing and this is the only song that wasn’t this big narrative plot. Anyway, I actually do really like the song. Sorry, I’m just undermining the marketing strategy.”
