Author Benedetta Baldin - 12.11.2025

Metal / avant-pop artist Poppy announces her seventh album, “Empty Hands”, led by the bold and muscular new single “Bruised Sky.” Just two months after her mega-collaboration with Amy Lee and Courtney LaPlante, Poppy caps off a career-defining year with the reveal of “Empty Hands”, the follow-up to her acclaimed album “Negative Spaces”—launching on the anniversary of last year’s LP release date. Produced by Jordan Fish (Bring Me the Horizon, Poppy).

Post-genre art and music visionary Poppy has quickly risen to center-stage as an unassuming paragon of high culture, high fashion and high art. Embodying “alternative” in the truest sense of the word, she bleeds the boundaries between pop, progressive, and electronic underpinned by unpredictable time signatures shifts and heavy edge.

Outside of music, Poppy also became the face of Viktor and Rolf’s blockbuster fragrance “Flowerbomb” with L’Oreal and recently launched 2 pairs of signature shoes in collaboration with KOI Footwear. She has also released two graphic novels, “Genesis One” & “Poppy’s Inferno” and her short film, “I’m Poppy” premiered at the 2019 Sundance Festival.

In more recent news, on October 25, Linkin Park kicked off their Latin American tour in Bogota, Colombia, with a surprise guest performing live. LP’s platinum-certified 2000 smash track “One Step Closer” was performed by alternative metal artist Poppy, who is now opening for the band on that leg. Below is online video that fans have posted of their group’s rendition of the “Hybrid Theory” song.
