Dat de dame zich niet aan grenzen van genres houdt, is al langer gekend, maar dat ze ooit zo hard zou toeslaan, dat is toch wel verrassend. Pop, electro, metal en industrial zijn allemaal al de revue gepasseerd. Met haar nieuwe single gaat ze echter de extreme metal richting uit: knallende modern metal:metalcore, screams incluis. Niet dat ze hier plots de grenzen van het genre verlegd, wel nogmaals haar eigen grenzen.

Negative Spaces follows Poppy's recent successful collaborations: Bad Omens' "V.A.N," which climbed the Active Rock Radio charts and has entered the top 15 at the format, and Knocked Loose's "Suffocate," which broke into the top 10 on Spotify's Viral 50 USA playlist. Her solo track “New Way Out,” released this summer, is currently #30 on the Active Rock Radio charts and climbing.
In addition to the esteemed collaborations, 2024 has been a monumental year for Poppy's live performances. In January, she kicked things off by joining Bad Omens on the Concrete Forever Tour across Europe, followed by her headlining her own Zig Tour throughout the region. In March, Poppy came back stateside and supported Avenged Sevenfold on their month-long North American tour. This summer, she opened for Thirty Seconds To Mars on their North American run.
An insatiably inventive drive has fueled Poppy’s surrealistic rise through countless corners of the arts and music worlds, with each of her many projects so far revealing a different glimpse of a true visionary unconcerned with genre, unimpressed by convention, and forever defying expectations. It’s that eclecticism that has cemented Poppy’s reputation as a boundary-obliterating artist redefining culture as we know it, at every turn.
From performance art provocateur, to video director, to sci-fi graphic novel author, to a globe-traveling recording artist whose songbook encompasses anything from brutal metal breakdowns and snappy ‘60s bubblegum, to trap-pop and grunge-punk, absolutely nothing has been off-limits when it comes to Poppy masterfully executing her varied artistic vision. Her 2021 GRAMMY nod for Best Metal Performance (“BLOODMONEY”) marked the first time a solo female artist had ever been nominated in the category. Her staggeringly chameleon-like adaptability has kept fans guessing what’s next every step of the way. And yet, each impressive and feverishly ambitious pivot manages to sound uniquely, and singularly “Poppy”.
