    Music Video: Grimes – Go ft. Blood Diamonds

    New music video from Grimes titled Go ft. Blood Diamonds, it’s a step in a new direction but just as creative visually and musically as we would expect. With the new perk of easy sing a long ability unlike other popular Grimes tracks. Some say it’s selling out, but it’s not like she’s sponsoring Doritos or anything, chill out. The video is a collage of flashing lights and rave like scenes pared with desert photoshoot moments with flowing fabric. So stylish and trend making, Each still could be a photoshoot. check out the video below. What do you guys think?
