Poppy Teases Surprise Collaborative EP and Hints at Return to YouTube Roots
In a thrilling update that has Poppy’s fanbase buzzing, the enigmatic artist has hinted at two major developments: a surprise collaborative EP and a potential return to her surreal YouTube storytelling roots. During a recent livestream Q&A following her “They’re All Around Us” tour, Poppy dropped cryptic yet promising hints that something special is on the horizon.
According to Poppy, the collaborative EP — tentatively titled Artificial Devotion — is in the works with a “mystery partner” whose sound “completely contrasts but complements” hers. While she didn’t name the collaborator, fans are already speculating about potential pairings, with names like Grimes, Dorian Electra, and even Marilyn Manson floating through social media forums. The EP is said to explore themes of identity, duality, and the disintegration of digital selves — aligning with the dystopian, hyper-surreal themes that helped define her earlier works.
In addition to the music, Poppy acknowledged her longtime fans’ desire for the return of her iconic, avant-garde YouTube persona. “There’s a part of me that misses her,” she said, referring to the eerie robotic character that first captured the internet’s imagination. “I’ve been thinking about bringing her back in a way no one expects.” She also hinted that a new series — or even an ARG-style experience — might debut before the end of the year.
With the Negative Spaces era still in full force and her tour wrapping up in Los Angeles, Poppy’s momentum shows no signs of slowing. If the teased projects materialize, fans can expect an intense blend of sound, story, and strange — the signature formula that’s made Poppy a cult icon and a genre-defying force in the modern music lan
