[@gabbatronginja.dreadhead17]

[@verified_pig]

+Gabbatron ginja.dreadhead it's captivating because her slight lisping is like suuuper cuuuuuute

[@weirdo66636]

TheGodEmperorofMankind same, she’s so intriguing

[@axolotldaydreams]

[@jasonz31]

She’s literally under a lightbulb

[@neonkuromi]

@@jasonz31 LMAO

[@austrolonium8115]

Claire is the definition of an artist.

[@umcsk8]

Ugh. She's so beautiful and smart..and that damn lisp everyone keeps pointing out is adorable!

[@jessicabland1997]

she writes those songs in a DAY?? oh my god

[@whitetrashsuperhero39]

I wish I had the enthusiasm that she does, she has such a great outlook on anything, not jaded at all.

[@internetsummoner]

@whitetrash superhero Same my dude ! Her energy gives me inspiration !

[@declareworr]

i think a "goth ambient" festival would be cool. have creepy mythological creatures walking around like slender man and mothman. creepy ambient electro. good stuff, lets have it in ohio, lots of goths there

[@wisperiahysteria]

I want this

[@Mumumumykul]

"i have to sit with these songs for like a year" here we are, 3.5 years later..lol

[@avedic]

+Michael Arredondo It's coming out THIS month. :D

[@marian-zy9uv]

It’s out now. I’m from the future 🛸

[@emilyfanslow3604]

she means while on tour and stuff obviously she music isn’t just going to disappear after a year

[@seanmorrison496]

She is a Genius! I believe her influence will be good for a revolutionary change in music!!!!!!

[@sadiquebob]

you were right

[@cherylssss]

she doesn't talk the way she sings like you really can't compare those voices or something but at the same time her talking voice is just as soft and cute and idk asbdcffasdFGK;GLDSH

[@bjorklikeskidneys8496]

I fucking love her She looks like such a nice person and it shows the passion that she has

[@juanrules1992]

how she looks like she is 15 but her music is on some of the best out there today and she has a lot of material. love it.

[@Jahooba]

That's kind of neat how her music evolved out of a social scene. So she really feeds off the kind of people she's hanging around. I hope she doesn't become too commercialized.

[@turnleftaticeland]

👀

[@HFNCObw]

@@turnleftaticeland lol\

[@forsureize]

the cutest little lisp. she's so freakin adorable.

[@SoundChilde]

love that Cocteau Twins and Tool are part of her influences...

[@naikobellic2124]

Which part she says that?

[@allyson--]

1:50 Cocteau Twins 2:50 TOOL

[@DavidDecipher]

Now that I know that she loves Tool, Manson, Skinny Puppy and "Noise Music"...my respect for her is even more profound.

[@ericbryant6097]

yeah merzbow been a puppy fan since too dark park

[@toonomam]

is everybody in * at least she didn't say "bruh" :P

[@Kat.Evangeline]

Same !

[@therealxlalabecca]

she's so talented it hurts

[@SP-mf9sh]

Watching her interviews just makes me so happy lol

[@LegalizeHeroin1]

Her lisp is the cutest thing ever.

[@PetiteFleurFille]

I love the way she knows what she's talking about in these interviews. Like, a lot of wisdom and knowledge.

[@SwetaXY]

I completely agree! She's an original, unique, and seemingly genuine person- that's why I like her so much.

[@Imononesince9311]

She looks so natural and beautiful in this interview but in general she just seems so open hearted and sweet...shes too cute

[@DeaDPr3z]

and her lisp is the hottest thing i've ever heard. omggggggg

[@weirdo66636]

watching old grimes interviews gives me a high

[@jennifercardenas7287]

she sort of has a lisp aw i love listening to her voice

[@ariellyvargas8625]

Her music reminds me of the music in Adventure Time and I love it.

[@josiahconlee]

sammee, it gives her music a deep nostalgic feeling

[@JuniorBlacksBeatz]

Yeah man

[@KlingKlang13]

I'm bummed that I'll probably never hear her play songs like "My sister says the saddest things" live because the live audience demands a certain danciness to feel like they're being entertained. She may have played that and others I like earlier on but I've only caught her live twice. Glad to hear you like the Cocteau Twins Claire as I suspected you did. They were and are hugely important to me. And I got to see Skinny Puppy here in Seattle like 6 times. "Digit" is my fave from them. Go Grimes!

[@oceancat0450]

She looks sooooooo pretty in this interview.

[@fonziegee]

that story in the beginning just sums up how awesome she is.

[@jt8908]

You hit the nail right on the head my friend.

[@nesekaba]

She mentioned Tune-Yards!!! Love this chick!

[@romeosdistress]

I love how she basically stated she's making the music she deserves, but not the music she needs right now...

[@rook1nubZ]

Omg she has the cutest lisp ever! My heart melted at that "so" at 0:39.

[@cait.tama1]

i love her lisp! she's so adorable.

[@bgatzby]

Wow, thanks for the info!

[@jeffsipes9115]

Didn't search for this but here I am.. 😎✌️

[@taylordunlap2845]

She is the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen

[@onecsface]

I've only just discovered some of Grimes' music..and the thought "is she this REAL"(?) has come to mind, from checking out these interviews. The amount of views on the "Oblivion" video! Wow. There still is good things out there. Good.

[@iamadamhudson]

She's amazing

[@bobsagget4169]

she loooks soo damn gooooood in this interview!

[@missdarlingdeanna]

i fucken love this girl! so much talent and so chill.

[@Brambleiah]

I hope to meet a girl like this one day. Super down to earth, beautiful, talented, nice, honest, wonderful.

[@robertpreston4956]

Just enjoying the sun and a little KZbin.

[@VERTAIR7]

SHE IS VERY BEAUTIFUL & EXPRESSIVE...MUSIC IS A GOOD OUTLET FOR HER TALENT & ENERGY

[@emilypastars9554]

Skinny Puppy has to be one of my most influential industrial acts, she has fantastic strong music influences. Black Dice are another crazy experimental act she mentions....'really druggy' orientated industrial noise. Good stuff! Love her DIY approach, smart woman. :)

[@xFreshyy96]

beautiful!

[@Capgungoesbang]

I love the dancey pop like sound she has on her new album just as much as I love her ambient goth stuff. You can tell she's a faceted person and that's awesome. I love to hear her through headphones, it's the best.

[@redmolotail]

Real people are always the best. Thank you, mademoiselle Grimes!

[@djvmsdjvms]

She looks amazing!

[@JesuisCole]

Her lisp is so god damn adorable

[@vesiu5]

I am in love with Grimes. OMG.

[@FAfan06]

She's mesmerizing.

[@izzisdizzi]

And that's why I love her !

[@vatfog]

I love her sm, and also the fact she said she wouldn’t want anyone else to know her lyrics because she wanted them to be meaning gets me sm I keep editing but there’s sm to talk abt she also mentioned skinny puppy Cocteau twins like ?!

[@gabrielleasdfghjkl5539]

She's angelic 😍😭

[@Kat.Evangeline]

So glad she mentioned 4AD ! And Skinny Puppy

[@arunjames6494]

[@DeanteT]

Looks way better in this video.

[@TheSashaholic]

it's so inspiring, how she makes her music. it's really interesting to know, cause I'm also experimenting a bit. she's like my role model in that part:) I love her!

[@frankchord]

If you see all her interviews she says like a lot

[@lanalyrics1101]

Seriously love grimes. Her music is amazing, she's so smart and really gorgeous and she knows what's she's talking about. Would be an honour to see her live. I forgot her twitter name what is it ?

[@jazzmeltsface]

+Rob Carl one of the first interviews iv'e seen with her actually wearing make up. lol

[@jazzmeltsface]

**Universal Consciousness** that's cause she's canadian and not american. it's the norm to be real everywhere else in the world.

I just want to give her a hug, she's like a cute Labrador puppy lmao

[@eightypuff01]

She's cuter like this than in her videos, she looks like the queen of hipsters in them. In reality she looks like an original, down to earth, cute girl.
