Canadian song smith Grimes (aka Claire Boucher) is set to release the album Visions on March 9 and Genesis is the sweet, upbeat slice of art pop candy that serves as an entrée. Opening with a skittering synth line reminiscent of Close Encounters, the track pulls dreamy electro layer over dreamy electro layer, then adds a slapping dance beat to make it all jump. Meanwhile, Grimes’ voice chases itself around the tune in airy girlish layers. Cute and atmospheric but forgettable.
