Empty Hands

Metal and avant-pop artist Poppy returns with 13 bold new tracks on her seventh full-length, Empty Hands. Produced by Jordan Fish (Bring Me the Horizon), Poppy follows up her previous album, Negative Spaces, with a daring set of songs that blurs the lines between heavy and hypnotic, cementing her status as a rising visionary within the rock genre. 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.
