Poppy’s two sounds collide in her brand new music video. She is continuing her ascension to heavy metal queen with her newest music video for “X” off her latest record Am I A Girl?
Poppy recently dropped another heavier track featuring Grimes, titled “Play Destroy,” ahead of her album’s release. The new sound is a tad unexpected for the strange YouTube star, but she’s expanding upon the heavier sound with “X.”
The transition from pop star to heavy metal queen is a hard and apparently bloody one. “X” seems to acknowledge this, fusing together peaceful harmonies with screaming bridges. While the peaceful verses are accompanied by delightful harmonies and a scene right out of a Mamas and Papas video, the immediate scene following is dark. Heavy metal guitars back Poppy’s vocals, and she gets her wish.
Am I A Girl? is a follow-up to Poppy’s 2017 debut record, Poppy.Computer. Am I A Girl? is available now, and you can watch the new music video here.
