Poppy, the perennially envelope-pushing and genre-hopping musician otherwise known as Moriah Rose Pereira, has taken many forms over the last few years.
2020’s I Disagree, her third studio album, was a captivating mix of heavy metal, electronic and pop music, a disparate collection of songs that left a strong impression due to the chaotic and unpredictable flow of the record.

The following year’s Flux, produced by Justin Meldal-Johnsen, was a total move in a different direction, featuring alt-rock/shoegaze vibes.
On Oct. 14, Poppy will release a new EP titled Stagger. Announced recently, she previewed it with the song “FYB,” which stands for “Fuck You Back.” Musically, it’s a frenetic punk blast of energy, another stark departure from those previous two albums:
Stagger will be the first release from Poppy since signing a new deal with Lava/Republic Records — and she has a lot more going on besides music, by the way.
As a news release lays it out:
Poppy has no regard for convention, genres, labels, assumptions, or expectations. Instead, she eclipses all of them in the flames of an intensely uncompromising creative spirit with no rival. By burning everything down and building a vision of her own out of the ashes, she represents a future where high art and high fashion equal subversion of the highest order. Following a quiet grind, she reached critical mass with I Disagree. Beyond tallying 100 million-plus streams, it concluded 2020 on year-end lists by Upset [#1], Revolver, Popbuzz, Kerrang!, and more as she graced the covers of NME, Revolver, Upset, Kerrang!, and Tush. Standout “BLOODMONEY” even garnered a GRAMMY® nod for “Best Metal Performance,” lifting her to rarified air as the “first-ever solo female artist nominated in the category.” At the same time, she electrified the stage at the GRAMMY® Awards. Throughout 2021, Poppy only maintained her momentum with the EAT (NXT Soundtrack) EP, Flux, and So Mean EP. She steered the vision entirely—from the aesthetic to personally directing multiple videos. Infiltrating the mainstream, she has notably collaborated with Victor and Rolf on the Flowerbomb fragrance with L’Oreal and with KOI Footwear on two pairs of signature shoes. Casting a shadow over multiple forms of media, she has also penned two graphic novels, Genesis One and Poppy’s Inferno, and her short film I’m Poppy premiered at Sundance Film Festival during 2019.
