Poppy - Empty Hands
95

After the great success of 'Negative Spaces' Poppy continues to expand the sound of it in 'Empty Hands'. We can see she's finally flourishing in the genre she's most comfortable in. It can be seen how much she enjoys it and fully embracing and evolving it.

Well this album is surely a ride because she not just try out new things but merits from her past projects even. I don't think it's that similar to 'Negative Spaces' as people make it out to ... read more

Poppy - Negative Spaces
96

After 'Zig' wasn't as successful as intended Poppy returns with 'Negative Spaces' which was a huge comeback. Undoubtedly it was a massive hype.

What was lacked on 'Zig' she fullfills it in this project. A more digestible approach in the genre-bending pop-metal sound compared to 'I Disagree' but it's still beautiful and aggressive anyway. She still continues to search for herself and tries to overcome all difficulties but in this album and here ... read more

Poppy - Zig
93

When we zig Poppy zags. After the experimental metal-pop 'I Disagree' and alt rock shoegaze 'Flux' people would think she continues the route to discover the genre. But instead she surprises us with going back to her pop roots and making a dark alt-pop record. Well, she's Poppy after all.

I won't lie, the first it came out I wasn't fond of it but as time went it grown on me. It's just clicked one day. The album feels like if 'Am I A Girl?' and ... read more

Poppy - Flux
100

It's an uplifting feeling to reclaim the agency that was taken away from a person since the beginning of their career. But with the relishable moment there comes the bigger baggage of overcoming the harrowing past. And that's exactly the journey Poppy's fourth album 'Flux' takes us.

Compared to her other albums–which feature societal commentary–'Flux' is a much more contemplative work. It's even Poppy's most personal project. The first ... read more

Poppy - I Disagree (more)
100

Up to this time the only Poppy deluxe album. I always got the intention that she releases an album as a completed project that needs no addition. If so, she makes it in a completely new EP format. But with 'I Disagree' it was different. Pretty sure due to it's popularity she wanted to please the audience with more. And it surely was an amazing decision. The 4 tracks live up to the original releases standard, extending it's sound. They stand on their own, but the best to ... read more

Poppy - I Disagree
100

Having a style already associated to an artist and suddenly changing it to a completely different sound–that has much different audience–takes a huge risk. Sure it can attract said audience, but the question lies on that will the original crowd remains? Not everyone is receptive to adapt. So is it beneficial to an artist in the first place? Poppy's 'I Disagree' is an excellent example of taking such dare that takes her carrier to a better direction.

Poppy–who ... read more

Poppy - Am I A Girl?
87

My introduction to Poppy was one of her bangers 'Girls In Bikinis' through 'sped up' version of it. The song was trending on TikTok that time–thought I didn't used it yet–and it was popular to make sped up versions of trending TikTok songs. And that's where my journey, to Poppy becoming my favorite singer, started.

The internet pop star's identity crisis. A notable change since her debut album. It has that cutesy pop and robotic style Poppy ... read more

Poppy - Poppy.Computer
82

I wasn't around her early YouTuber era–I know her more since the late I Disagree early Flux era–so I didn't know much about her past and the concept of this project until I finally started to binge-watch her old videos. And thank God because it made me see the bigger picture of her debut album 'Poppy.Computer'. Despite liking this project knowing the whole Titanic Sinclair and Mars Argo fiasco it's kinda makes it tough to make a proper review. Nevertheless, ... read more

Sleep Token - Sundowning
27

In all sincerity, I never radiated towards Sleep Token's music to ever check them out even when everyone was all over them. However as it suddenly changed and a heated discourse started surrounding them I thought I finally check what this band up to. Particularly for the reason that they truly are a metal band or it's a misleading title put on them as people claim.

To begin with their debut album 'Sundowning' I entered with an open mind but I got punched in my face. Like oh ... read more
