Poppy’s New Single “Guardian” Dropped

Okay, time to wake up for realsies now. With her follow up to 2024’s Empty Spaces now firmly behind her, Poppy’s got a new album titled Empty Hands coming out next month, so of course that means we’re getting a new single in the form of a more pop-tinged track “Guardian.”

Absent are Poppy’s banshee-like screams in this one. Instead, they’re replaced by her soaring vocals, hitting highs that showcase her ability as a vocalist. It still has that metalcore vibe, but it’s definitely one of the more tame offerings.

Just like her music in Empty Spaces, this new track was produced and co-written by ex-Bring Me The Horizon keyboardist Jordan Fish and you can tell. Between this track and the previously released “Bruised Sky,” my hype levels for a new Poppy album has only increased.

Empty Hands will be released on January 23 via Sumerian Records, but you can preorder your copy today.
