Grimes is no longer signed to Columbia Records, a source at the label told Billboard. Grimes’ longtime manager Daouda Leonard later confirmed the news to the magazine. The art-pop producer and songwriter has only released two singles — “Player of Games” and “Shinigami Eyes” — since signing to the Sony-owned label in 2021. The FADER has reached out to representatives of Grimes and Columbia for independent confirmation and further comment.
