Empty Hands Lyrics & Tracklist – Poppy

Album Overview

Empty Hands is the seventh studio album by American singer and songwriter Poppy, set for release on January 23, 2026 through Sumerian Records. The album marks a continuation of Poppy’s evolution as an artist, blending heavy industrial elements with pop sensibilities and her signature voice that can shift from melodic passages to visceral, distorted tones. The record follows her 2024 album Negative Spaces and has been anticipated by multiple singles released in late 2025. The album’s production was led by Jordan Fish, known for his work as a producer and musician with Bring Me The Horizon, continuing his collaborative relationship with Poppy. Empty Hands features 13 tracks that explore themes of tension, introspection, conflict, and resilience through a hybrid of alternative metal, industrial, and rock-inflected songwriting.

The album’s soundscape is described as industrial and bold with moments of melodic accessibility that recall Poppy’s earlier surreal and experimental roots. Across the record, heavy guitar textures co-exist with dynamic vocal performances and layered production, emphasizing contrasts between aggressive energy and melodic hooks. Empty Hands has been introduced to audiences through singles like “Unravel,” “Bruised Sky,” and “Guardian,” each reflecting different facets of the album’s stylistic breadth.
