"A Drug from God" by Grimes' New AI Girl Group

NPC, artist Grimes' passion project involving her infatuation for artificial intelligence debuted on November 12th and is already a key talking point in the music industry. Whilst the move to create an AI girl group has shocked many people, her long time fans and followers will know that it is simply a natural progression of her previous endeavours.



If we take a look back over her projects, Grimes released industrial rock song "We Appreciate Power" in 2018 which is written from the perspective of a pro-AI girl group. Shortly following this in 2020 she produced an AI inspired lullaby to help soothe her newborn baby, X AE A-XII. In the following July, Grimes joined the judging panel of Alter Ego, which focuses on avatar-based singers, she then spoke to out to announce that her next album will be a space opera surrounding an AI lesbian romance.



The first release from NPC is in collaboration with musician Chris Lake and called "A Drug from God". Its sound is something that can only be described as otherworldly and is being eaten up by fans who are leaving rave reviews on YouTube.



Whilst there are no visuals for the song as of yet, Grimes has said they're still working on the look of the AI faces and overall aesthetics - so we'll just have to wait and see her designs come to life.
