Twice-Grammy-nominated transcendent singer, songwriter and subversive performance artist POPPY will release her next album, ‘Empty Hands’, on January 23, 2026 via Sumerian Records.
She sets the stage for the project with a new single, ‘Bruised Sky’, out everywhere now.
‘Empty Hands’ marks POPPY‘s seventh studio album, and with each new release, she crystallizes her identity as a true visionary unconcerned with genre. The album draws from eclectic influences, with industrial elements, pop sensibilities, and moments that call back to POPPY‘s surrealist roots with her signature uncanny, machine-like voice.
‘Bruised Sky’ was produced and co-written by longtime collaborator Jordan Fish. The song’s music video, directed by Orie McGinness, sets POPPY and her band against a gritty, dark and dystopian backdrop.
POPPY is having a monumental year – ‘Suffocate’, her collaboration with KNOCKED LOOSE, was nominated for ‘Best Metal Performance’ at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
