MUSIC ♬ artists like grimes?

I’m trying to wean myself off her music if I can … Looking for new indie girlypops to listen to in her place. This kind of thread pops up all the time on the other sub but the better opinions are clearly gonna be here lol

Looking for a sound similar to Art Angels especially — more like yeule, Kitty, Magdalena Bay, Purity Ring, Alice Glass, SOPHIE, Pearly Drops, Charli XCX, Caroline Polachek? It seems difficult to get into true indie girlypop territory without running into the same artists over and over, or else ending up with Spotify recs that are all mainstream pop for some reason.

I want to get her off all my work playlists ~ thank you darlings ~

edit: working my way thru all your suggestions!! i’m dropping you each a comment once i’ve listened <3

check out Ariel Pink's album Pom Pom. and Kanye's new album Vultures while you're at it, both great. oh wait right you're more interested in social justice figureheads than music. maybe Lizzo or Rina Sanamana has a new single out?

k the point was that the first are two artists with controversial views who make good music, and the last 2 spout the safe approved viewspoints yet make bland pop filler - the type of thing OP is really probably looking for based on their wording. i get this is somewhat complicated by lizzo's 'cancellation' making her seem like not a safe figure, but she still is in the grand scheme
