Art Angels is the fourth solo studio album by Canadian singer, songwriter and producer Grimes, released digitally on November 6, 2015 via 4AD and in physical formats on December 11 the same year. The track "REALiTi", which came from the earlier recordings, was released as a demo in early 2015, and Grimes made a decision to include a reworked and finished version in Art Angels due to critical acclaim and overall positive reception of the song. When the track listing for Art Angels was announced, a new version of the song appeared on the digital release and the demo version was included as a bonus track in the CD version only[4]. Clash stated that "this is the truest representation of Grimes we've heard yet: Art Angels is boundary pushing, it's listenable and it's Boucher's most ambitious and most consistent work to date" and commended the production of the album as the "one thing that does tie it all together"[21].

"REALiTi (Demo)" is a song by Canadian recording music artist Grimes, originally slated for release on her scrapped solo fourth album, released on March 8, 2015 as a single and thank you to her fans in Asia. The song was then later released on March 8, 2015, and Grimes gave the following description of the track on YouTube: "This song was never finished. The Atlantic notes that the song "is as good as anything on the radio" and goes on to claim that "the song is fabulous" and adds that the recording-quality issues don't prevent the song from sounding better than anything on the radio[4]. Oh, baby, every Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh (Give me a sign) Oh, baby, every (Give me a sign) Oh, baby, every (Give me a sign) Oh, baby, every Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh

A woman pulls out the headful of black hair with her bare hands Walks along the mountain ridges in a dream Remembrance swarms like mosquitos Opening up the unfocused eyes As if... My fingers created a cold lake I look around, no one is guarding The exhibitionist takes out his coat And jumps into it with tears on his face I planned to record your scream as you reached orgasm The moment has been lost, irretrievable You lie there Struggling with the body fluid that is getting cold Sticky, transparent, elastic flowers in my palm The telephone rings at this moment A herd of deer run past the window and at the same time Blue winds are dispelled so quickly, wiping out the foams on the margin of the world Escaping from your half-opened eyes Picking up the phone, silence comes The desire just awoken breathes and screams in the receiver

She eventually scrapped the entire album she had been recording and despite initial reports claiming that the cancellation was due to negative reactions to Go, Grimes later clarified that the album was "too depressing" and "didn't want to tour for it", adding that "people's reactions do not factor in my [her] choices" and that Go was never intended to be on the cancelled album. On March 8, 2015, she released a self-directed video for a demo from the abandoned album, REALiTi, which received critical acclaim from music critics, being named Best New Music by Jenn Pelly from Pitchfork, calling it the "best new Grimes song since Visions"[29]. On 26 October 2015, she released the lead single of the album, Flesh without Blood, accompanied with a double music video that also featured the song Life in the Vivid Dream[33]. [40] She has a step-brother who raps under the name Jay Worthy[41]; they collaborated on the songs Christmas Song, released on the Rough Trade bonus disc of her album, Visions, and Christmas Song II (grinch), a song uploaded to YouTube which never saw an official release.
