Background

Poppy.Computer was written in Los Angeles during 2016 by Poppy and Titanic Sinclair, with help from songwriter Simon Wilcox and Chris Greatti of Blame Candy. Near the end of the year, Poppy and Sinclair went to Japan to work with producers on the record, then went back in the spring of 2017 to finish it.

On May 6, 2017, Poppy confirmed on Twitter that her debut album was finished.[1] On the same tweet Poppy also confirmed that there would be a tour to promote the album and that she knows when the album will be released. After being interviewed for an article with Wired, the website accidentally leaked the release date of Poppy's album as October 6, 2017, which is also the anniversary of Poppy's YouTube channel creation.[2]

Poppy released five singles from the album. The second single "Computer Boy" has been nominated for Song of The Year at the Unicorn Awards.[3] The third single "Interweb" was performed live on The Late Late Show with James Corden.[4][5] Music videos were also released for "Moshi Moshi" in November and "Bleach Blonde Baby" in December. The latter was also performed on Total Request Live on January 29, 2018.[6]

Composition

Poppy.Computer has been labelled by critics as an art pop, synth-pop, electropop, and bubblegum pop album.[7][8][9] The album has been described to be different than her previous work, Bubblebath (2016). Poppy said that "these songs are a collection of writings inspired by enthusiasm and imagination."[10]

AllMusic's Neil Z. Yeung noted an "injection" of J-pop into Poppy's "computer veins", mentioning that the album results in a "winking piece of art pop that sounds like Fame-era Lady Gaga meets Grimes or L.A.M.B.-era Gwen Stefani going full 'Harajuku Girl[s]'", also suggesting to "think of this as the 'Material Girl' for the Internet age".[7] Rolling Stone's Maura Johnston said that "[it] adds her airy voice to hyper-stylized, detail-rich gloss-pop", also stating that "Poppy.Computer's off-kilter recounting of microcelebrity, hiccuping vocals and intricate production help her neatly avoid that fate".[11]
