The Canadian electronic whiz plays a few songs from her latest album and covers 'Ave Maria'

Grimes popped into the recording studios of BBC Radio 1 to perform two tracks from her outstandingArt Angelsrecord.

During her 30-minute set, the art-pop artist played 'Flesh Without Blood', 'REALiTi' and sang a very angelic version of Franz Schubert's classic 'Ave Maria', a particular favourite of hers.
