Poppy has released a metal new single called They’re All Around Us.

The track, released yesterday (September 17), is expected to appear on the genre-smashing solo act’s upcoming album, and was co-written with former Bring Me The Horizon member Jordan Fish and ex-Fever 333/The Chariot guitarist Stephen Harrison. Fish also produced the song. Listen to it below.

Poppy first gained notice on Youtube in the early 2010s, before signing her first major record deal in 2014. The musician’s songs have been noted for smashing between different genres. Where her 2017 debut album, Poppy Computer, was an art pop record, 2018 followup Am I A Girl? dabbled in rock and nu metal textures. Her 2020 album I Disagree was even darker and heavier.

Poppy released her latest album, the eclectic Zig, to very positive reviews last year. Metal Hammer’s Dannii Leivers gave it a glowing 8/10 writeup. “There’s a lot of ground covered here, but Zig never feels random or messy,” Leivers said. “Poppy has said that she views albums as ‘timestamps’ of her life and for that reason, her genre-bending feels less like an artist following trends, still searching for their sound, more an avid consumer of art, exploring her influences and making music by her own rules.”

Poppy is expected to soon release a companion album to Zig, which the musician has confirmed will be produced in its entirety by Fish. Its lead single, New Way Out, was released in June, though little else is currently known about the project.

Poppy has several tour dates announced for North and South America in 2024. See below for details.
