About

Genius Annotation

The bouncy bass leads to “Genesis” open up an enthralling track detailing a darker perspective on falling in love, contrasting the rosy idealism observed in popular love songs with paranoia-ridden commentary on the modern love affair. The song is the second track on Grimes' third album Visions, and is widely regarded as the first notable track despite its continuation off of the previous “Infinite Love Without Fulfillment.”

Genesis was named the 25th best track of 2012 by Pitchfork, while another Visions single “Oblivion” took the number one spot. Its lyrical ambiguity is noted as one of the more intriguing aspects of the track.
