Grimes lançou, hoje, dia 21 de julho, uma mixtape de surpresa. A cantora confirmou em suas redes sociais que está dando uma parada e que, por diversos problemas, não poderá continuar a era "CHERRY FLUID". Ela pede desculpas a todos e diz que não sabe quando irá voltar. Ela disponibilizou a mixtape para download gratuitamente, e afirma que ela não ganhará uma versão física, pelo menos por enquanto. O objetivo da curta mixtape é mostrar as habilidades de produção da cantora, e conta com as vozes conhecidas de Marina and the Diamonds e Melanie Martinez. Segue o mesmo estilo do seu mais recente álbum de estúdio, e a cantora afirma que a mixtape é uma pequena parte do álbum que ainda não foi mostrada.

TRACKLIST

1. INSIDE [feat Melanie Martinez] (3:50 minutos)
A faixa foi inteiramente produzida por Grimes, porém, não conta com os vocais dela. Ela é inteiramente cantada por Melanie e apresenta um estilo mais melancólico e calmo. Conta com sons vindos de um trem, como se estivesse idealizando o cenário, além de sons de pedras caindo no chão. O instrumental principal é um teclado, juntamente a um baixo e sons modificados de um violino.

Like a sad flower, she lays

Her head all over the floor

Dark dust is all over her body

And deeply she breathes

As she runs on her dreams



And all of her crimes, they

Come back in her mind, oh

Ms., you're not alright



Fucked up cigarettes in her purse

She tries to get away of all this curse

They keep calling for her the nurse

She will run away driving her hearse



In her way back home,

She throws up dark foam

Starts to roam in the road

Speaking in morse code



Fucked up cigarettes in her purse

She tries to get away of all this curse

They keep calling for her the nurse

She will run away driving her hearse



Who will understand the things she says

If not her own inner persona

Hidden inside her secret genoma?

2. LOVE/FORGIVENESS [feat Marina and the Diamonds] (3:34 minutos)
Assim como a faixa anterior, esta também é inteiramente produzida por Grimes, sem contar com os vocais da cantora. É inteiramente cantada por Marina. "LOVE/FORGIVENESS" é uma baladinha mais animada, seguindo um estilo semelhante às baladas de Marina Diamandis. Batidas animadas e uma guitarra junto a uma bateria, todas fazendo sons mais animados, fazem parte dessa composição.

And all those times, thoughts

All stuck in my head, in lots

I'll be quick, I won't stop

But you don't care, my love you've bought



Love without forgiveness, baby

Forgiveness without love,

And why do we try, if in the end

Everything will be just the same,

With no solution, there we came

(Came, came, came)



Love without forgiveness, baby

Forgiveness without love,

And why do you cry, if after then

I will be the one who will take all the blame

For all this confusion that you've made

(Made, made, made)



And if you try to convince me

I know you're not happy

And if you try to convince me

You know you're acting badly



Love without forgiveness, baby

Forgiveness without love,

And why do we try, if in the end

Everything will be just the same,

With no solution, there we came

(Came, came, came)



Love without forgiveness, baby

Forgiveness without love,

And why do you cry, if after then

I will be the one who will take all the blame

For all this confusion that you've made

(Made, made, made)



I know we're both too lonely

But this condition, oh this condition

Doesn't make you lovely...



So don't you dare to try

(No, don't you dare)

I can still make you cry

(Still make you cry)

3. ON SPOTLIGHT (3:20 minutos)
A faixa é cantada inteiramente por Grimes. Nela, diversos samples de sons emitidos por corujas tocam, enquanto sons semelhantes aos de madeira se batendo, acompanhados de guitarras e baixos, são reproduzidos. O estilo da música varia, não podendo ser definida, exatamente, como sendo triste ou feliz.

Far from the land of disaster

Owls are flying near to the land

Of reconstructive plaster

Because a hole in the chest

Might mean that they'll never last



Ooh, ooh, all the night

Starring in my window

Ooh, ooh, with no light

Laying in their pillow



They clean my sins

When I just need to

Lean... And waking me up

My guide through night

Cause there's no right time



And a witch is watching

My steps in my dreams

And a witch is watching

My steps in my dreams



Ooh, ooh, all the night

Starring in my window

Ooh, ooh, with no light

Laying in their pillow



told me the world

Is a dangerous place

What he doesn't know is

My life I'm going to erase

4. EYE SEEKER (2:59 minutos)
"EYE SEEKER" é uma faixa que beira o estilo épico, alguns sons de cornetas e um som mais pesado de uma guitarra são notáveis. A faixa é a mais experimental do álbum, já que os sons de ambos os instrumentos encontram-se completamente modificados.

Truth is a feeling

Comes from the eyes

Eyes that whisper

"Seek for the heart

Seek for the death"


But now they start

To say goodbye

Taking a long time

To come back, to come back



But, hey, eye seeker

Don't give up,

Find me in another eye

Make sure it won't lie



A long journey has been made

We almost reached the deepest lake

Wake up, tomorrow is another day



But, hey, eye seeker

Don't give up,

Find me in another eye

Make sure it won't lie



Keep on searching

5. DOWN BY THE WATER [PJ Harvey cover] (3:15 minutos)
Para encerrar, Grimes gravou um cover da música "Down By The Water" da cantora PJ Harvey. Ela refez o instrumental, gravando-o com seus próprios instrumentos. Não há muita diferença do instrumental original, apenas uma sonoridade mais suave.

I lost my heart under the bridge

To that little girl

So much to me

And now I moan

And now I holler

She'll never know

Just what I found

That blue eyed girl (That blue eyed girl)

She said "no more" (She said "no more")

That blue eyed girl (That blue eyed girl)

Became blue eyed whore (Big blue eyed whore)

Down by the water (Down by the water)

I took her hand (I took her hand)

Just like my daughter (Just like my daughter)

See her again (See her again)



Oh help me jesus

Come through this storm

I had to lose her

To do her harm

I heard her holler (I heard her holler)

I heard her moan (I heard her moan)

My lovely daughter (My lovely daughter)

I took her home (I took her home)



Little fish, big fish, swimming in the water.

Come back here, man, gimme my daughter.

Little fish, big fish, swimming in the water.

Come back here, man, gimme my daughter.

Little fish, big fish, swimming in the water.

Come back here, man, gimme my daughter.

Little fish, big fish, swimming in the water.

Come back here, man, gimme my daughter.

Little fish, big fish, swimming in the water.

Come back here, man, gimme my daughter.

Little fish, big fish, swimming in the water.

Come back here, man, gimme my daughter.

Little fish, big fish, swimming in the water.

Come back here, man, gimme my daughter.

Little fish, big fish, swimming in the water.

Come back here, man, gimme my daughter.
