Ash Blue Gutierrez, known professionally as Glaive (stylized as glaive), is an American singer-songwriter. After posting a string of hyperpop songs to SoundCloud during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic that earned it a following, it signed a record deal with Interscope Records and released its debut extended play, Cypress Grove, in 2020. Its debut album, I Care So Much That I Don't Care at All, was released in 2023. Its second album, May It Never Falter, was released in 2024.
Glaive's music has often been described as hyperpop. He has described his own music as "straight-up pop songs" with "nothing hyper about them", and stated that his music being labeled as hyperpop is a result of him being associated with other people who make hyperpop.
He has also been deemed a pioneer of the digicore genre, a more underground, largely teenage offshoot of hyperpop that uses elements of trap and emo rap with a DIY ethic. His music has included elements of Midwest emo, emo, glitch, pop punk, hip hop, trap, EDM, and indie rock.
He has described his music as being about "being annoyed or mad", and has stated that he is inspired by hip hop production. His lyrics address topics such as alienation and mental health.
