Poppy crossing into Heavy Metal?: Watch

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.
