But that is exactly what Grimes has revealed in a recent interview with the New York Times. After (apparently) a poor reaction to her Rihanna-rejected single "Go" (which wasn't poorly received enough to not make a video for), Grimes rethought her entire range of newly recorded songs.

"It upsets a lot of my fans, and I get why it upsets them," says Grimes, real name Claire Boucher, of "Go," "Everybody was like, 'Oh, Grimes is pandering to the radio.'"

In the interview, Grimes speaks of changing her approach which had previously been her pathway to success: "I'd been [recording] in Vancouver, very reclusive, not seeing anyone � kind of stewing by myself� That's always worked for me in the past."
