Post-genre art and music visionary Poppy has shared the video for ‘Fill The Crown,’ the fourth single from her boundlessly ambitious new album I Disagree (out January 10 via Sumerian Records). The release follows her debut Australian performances last week including at Good Things Festival, which saw Tone Deaf praise her “devastating mix of nu-metal and electronic pop was warmly received by the crowd.”

Rich with allusions to classic arthouse cinema, the video is set in parallel and disparate worlds, mirroring the song’s chasm-spanning approach to genre. The single’s sonic diversity is demonstrative of I Disagree’s variegated nature, which embodies “alternative” in the truest sense of the word, as Poppybleeds the boundaries between pop, progressive, electronic, and metal, underpinned by unpredictable time signature shifts and indelible earworm vocal hooks.
The album marks a dynamic and deliberate shift for Poppy. Her quiet rise from incalculable phenomenon (with over half-a-billion views on YouTube) to unassuming paragon of high culture, high fashion, and high art has fuelled her metamorphosis to “Poppy Version X.” She explains that “in terms of doing what I wanted to in every element from start-to-finish, this feels like my first album. The narrative is really about destroying the things that try to destroy you.” Poppy carefully constructed the sonic framework for this reinvention throughout 2019 – under the influence of everything from Madonna, Air, and Gary Numan to Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson, she took the reins and built the album in an unfiltered and unfettered creative ecosystem of her own design, expanding the sonic palette with an arsenal of analog synths and sonic flourishes.

Cultural phenomenon and enigma Poppy has captivated listeners and viewers alike with her ethereal vocals and surreal, hyper-stylised aesthetic, amassing a huge cult following with internet-breaking YouTube uploads including 2.5 million+ YouTube subscribers, 876k Instagram followers and 450,000 monthly Spotify listeners. Her full-length debut Poppy. Computer was featured in Rolling Stone’s 20 Best Pop Albums of 2017, while subsequent release Am I A Girl? (2018) saw Poppy collaborate with Diplo and Grimes on the genre-bending album. Poppy has since accompanied Bring Me The Horizon on an arena tour, performed at WWE: NXT and incited conversation at New York, Paris, and Milan Fashion Week appearances, plus landed features across Alternative Press, Highsnobiety, New York Magazine, Time Magazine and Vice, and graced the covers of Kerrang!, NME, Revolver, and many more.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
