AceShowbiz - Grimes hates to disappoint her fans. When apologizing for suffering technical issues during the first week of Coachella 2024, the "Genesis" songstress vowed that she would deliver a "flawless" next week.
"I want to apologize for the technical issues with the show tonight," the 36-year-old kicked off her message shared on X, formerly Twitter. "I wanted to come back rly strong and usually I always handle every aspect of my show myself - to save time this was one of the first times I've outsourced essential things like rekordbox bpm's and letting someone else organize the tracks on the sd card etc."
"i had a bad feeling beforehand not having run everything thru the cdjs myself and tho I flagged it I wasn't insistent," she explained. "the big lesson for me was a mix of 1 if u want it done right, do it yrself 2 be a c–t even if ppl feel bad 3 probably pretend it’s fine and engage w the crowd rather than spend a whole show slumped over the desk trying to fix software when ur meant to be entertaining."
Grimes went on to note, "I will personally organize all the files next week. I will not let such a thing happen again. I've spent months on this show, making music and visuals, and admittedly am not in the best mood atm." She then stressed, "But, yeh - next week will be flawless, everything will run thru my hands."
"Some good lessons learned. Bless y'all. The cdjs were showing me bpms like 370 so I couldn't even mix manually by ear and the front monitors were off so it was literally sonic chaos on my end trying to guess how stuff was sounding for u guys," she continued, before concluding, "Plz forgive me! Love, always."
