Poppy Announces Seventh Album 'Empty Hands' for January 2026, Drops Lead Single 'Bruised Sky'

The industrial-leaning lead single signals a heavier direction shaped by producer and co-writer Jordan Fish.

Overview

  • Empty Hands is due January 23, 2026 via Sumerian Records, marking Poppy’s seventh studio album.
  • The 'Bruised Sky' video, directed by Orie McGinness, is out now and frames the new material in a dark, dystopian aesthetic.
  • On the track, Poppy shifts from melodic passages to harsh growls as Fish’s production pushes a heavier, industrial-pop hybrid.
  • A 2026 Constantly Nowhere tour begins January 20 in Brisbane and runs through Australia, Europe and the UK.
  • Recent momentum includes a 2025 Grammy nomination for 'Suffocate' with Knocked Loose and an earlier milestone nomination for 'Bloodmoney' in 2021, while an exclusive bone, violet and baby blue vinyl variant is available via Metal Hammer’s store.
