Poppy has announced Flux, her fourth studio album and the follow-up to her 2020 record, I Disagree.
The announcement comes alongside a psychedelic music video for the record’s title track created by Australian designer and visual artist Pip and Pop.The music video for “Flux” takes place in a candy-colored dream world and was directed by the artist herself.
The powerhouse track begins with a series of distorted scratches and clicks. An animated sun pours light over the pastel world as an explosive snare drum sets the scene. Layers of shrieking guitar parts and crunchy basslines drive the song as the artist navigates her way through animated demons and maliciously grinning plants. The song reaches its pinnacle at 3:45 when a breakdown featuring Poppy’s heavy-hitting screams sends the song into a chaotic spiral and she becomes animated herself.
The unstoppable queen ofnümetalhas had one hell one of a year. Her new album comes only months after the release of EAT, a special collaboration between Sumerian Recordsand WWE. In addition to releasing a new song ahead of the forthcoming album, the artist also announced a world tour beginning in Sept. 30 via Instagram.
Presale codes for the upcoming tour, including VIP packages, will be sent to Poppy’s top listeners on Spotify Aug. 6, so fans will want to be on the lookout. Get tickets for the upcoming tour on the artist’s website and find dates below.

Poppy “Flux” lyrics:
My body is fluid ’Cause I’ve been through it all Chewed up and used its Cut into pieces to feed them all For your amusement For your confusion I guess I’ll do it ’Cause I’m bored And no attention span is shorter Than mine or yours You can’t oppose it That’s just how it goes yeah You gotta flux and flow with it You gotta flux and flow with it Require no permission Just ask for forgiveness There’s no second-guessing I’m just a possession For your amusement
For your confusion I guess I’ll do it ’Cause I’m bored And no attention span is shorter Than mine or yours You can’t oppose it That’s just how it goes yeah You gotta flux and flow with it You gotta flux and flow with it I won’t fear what I don’t know You gotta flux and flow flow flow I won’t fear what I don’t know You gotta flux and flow flow flow You can’t oppose it That’s just how it goes yeah You gotta flux and flow with it You gotta flux and flow with it
