Sounds like a perfect matchShareLink copied ✔️September 22, 2018September 22, 2018Text Thom Waite Grimes, in-between creating new music and presumably dealing with the fallout from the whole Azealia Banks/Elon Musk fiasco, has been working on a theme song for Hilda, a new animated Netflix series. The show, which premiered yesterday (September 21), is based on the eponymous comic by Luke Pearson, and follows its blue-haired protagonist on adventures in a world filled with monsters, elves, and other mysterious creatures (which is kind of the vibe Grimes herself has always given off). The singer/producer’s title tune, which was shared in a tweet by Pearson, is poppy and upbeat – to match the series’ bright and cartoonish visuals – and features snatches of Grimes’ effects-laden vocals. I'm very excited to share the title sequence for @hildatheseries featuring original music by @Grimezsz! Here it is!

In June this year, she also teased snippets of new songs, including “that’s what the drugs are for”. Escape the algorithm!
