A lot of you saw the artist in this title and were wondering if it's an artist named That Poppy or if it's actually that Poppy.
Yes.
Moriah Rose Pereira was 20 when she released her debut EP, bubblebath - and this, its lead single, was out for almost a year before that. Written by the artist, Simon Wilcox and Sir Nolan (who also produced), this song is less the electronic/metal sound people know Poppy for today. No, That Poppy was a ska/reggae/pop artist.
And she was good. This song is catchy - and although the video is as weird as a lot of Poppy's videos, the performance shines through.
I know what people think. Pop music is just vapid, autotuned garbage.
No.
Good music is being made, even in pop music. And Poppy can sing. Island Records released an acousitc version of this single as well - which highlights that. In fact, despite the weird guys behind her, this video isn't all the weird. It's a vulnerable young singer/songwriter who is performing her heart out.
We can do one better. Here she is performing it acapella in Brussels. And we think it's super cool.
