Venus Fly is my favourite track on Grimes’ Art Angels, so I was so happy to see it come to life via this 7-minute opus (premiered via TiDAL) last week! It’s a bigger production than the other videos from this Grimes era, and of course, features the incredible spirit that is Janelle Monáe.
I particularly like how the video was gracefully positioned by Grimes, almost with a disclaimer where she said, “sometimes it feels futile to be making art in this cruel and extreme political climate, but some of the brightest moments of the last few months for me and for a lot of you, i suspect, have come from seeing @janellemonae ‘s amazing and positive vision of the future, especially when we are being introduced to so many possible dystopian futures.”
