Relentless curiosity has always been Poppy‘s greatest super power — the spark behind every wild, unexpected turn she’s made. And that’s only getting clearer.
For Revolver’s new Winter Issue, the eternal boundary-breaker lays out the creative friction and brutal honesty fueling Empty Hands, her wildest record yet. From reuniting with producer and Bring Me the Horizon alum Jordan Fish, to delivering over-the-top vocal heaviness, to the Golden Era of YouTube and today’s toxic comments sections, this exclusive interview with Poppy uncovers why one of this generation’s most endlessly inventive artists is still smiling big, dancing hard and making loud music.
The latest cover story features photography by Paris Mumpower, glam by Nick Lennon, hair by Preston Wada, styling by Shalev Lavàn and collage illustrations by Sara Jensen. For the diehard Poppy fan, an alternate cover is also available packaged in a deluxe hand-numbered slipcase.
Both editions are available to order in Revolver’s shop, where you’ll likewise find pre-orders for Empty Hands on “iridescent white” vinyl and on CD. The shop also includes colored vinyl variants from across Poppy’s discography, as well as T-shirts, plushies and more.
As previously reported, Empty Hands is due out January 23rd via Sumerian Records. Poppy will be supporting the album while acting as direct support on the UK and European legs of Evanescence’s upcoming world tour. You’ll find the date details here.
