Since Wallsocket, Grey has gone on to collaborate with artists such as Jane Remover, Danny Brown, and Yves, all leading up to the release of her most recent project, U. The project was a direct left turn from Wallsocket and focused on simpler pop-focused beats, coated in Grey’s intentionally chaotic production and bubbly lyricism. The visual aspects of this record stand out, too, inspired by malls, hotels, and empty spaces. It could be said that Grey is using U as a way to define herself as a pop girl in the mainstream, leaving no room for interpretation.

Considering how groundbreaking U is for Underscores and the underground genre, it’s no surprise that this caught the attention of Charli and her team. Grey’s music has been making waves online, and it shouldn’t be considered a rebellion; though, it sort of is. It’s a direct parallel of how queer Internet artists have found a way into the mainstream, proving that a once marginalized community can be launched into the spotlight without major labels. So hats off to Charli once again. She's never shied away from supporting artists who are redefining electronic music, especially queer artists pushing the genre in exciting new directions.
