Poppy is a twice-Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter who blew the walls of the heavy metal scene wide open with her third album, 2020’s I Disagree. The release saw her switch from vibrant pop to a striking, brutal, industrial aesthetic, and it became her greatest success by miles. The single Bloodmoney was nominated by the Recording Academy for Best Metal Performance in 2021, making Poppy the first female solo act to have her name put forward for the prize.
The singer’s return to heavy music, last year’s Negative Spaces, was just as acclaimed as her first metal dalliance. She went on to make the scene her full-time home, collaborating with hardcore sensations Knocked Loose on the song Suffocate and earning her second grammy nod in the process. She’s also made a song with Bad Omens – V.A.N., which boasts 63 million Spotify streams – and made international headlines earlier this year by taking part in End Of You: a song with Courtney LaPlante of Spiritbox and Amy Lee of Evanescence.
Empty Hands includes Unravel and the new single Bruised Sky, both of which were produced by former Bring Me The Horizon member Jordan Fish. Fish previously worked with Poppy on Negative Spaces and has become one of alternative music’s most sought-after producers, having teamed up with the likes of Spiritbox, Architects and House Of Protection in just the last couple years.
