Poppy has shared a vicious cover of Kittie's nu-metal anthem Spit.
Originally released in 1999 by the celebrated nu-metallers Kittie, Poppy expertly channels Spits rage, spitting with pure venom, while making shifts to the instrumentation and production that make it sound quintessentially Poppy.
The menacing take Spit was released via Sumerian Record today and arrived accompanied by a video directed by Jim Louvau and Tony Aguilera. You can watch the video in all its glitched-out glory below.
Compare it to the Kittie original below.
Spit continues Poppy's genre-defying ways that have seen the artist deliver four studio albums, three soundtrack albums, five extended plays, 21 music videos, and 31 singles by age 28, accomplishing several landmarks. Poppy's most recent full-length, Flux was released in 2021. Released on Summerian Records, Flux sees Poppy dialling up the punk and rock influences on her sound, resulting in a more succinct yet dynamic blend of heavily distorted pop delights.
The album is another ambitious leap for the ever-evolving musician, putting a renewed focus on a stream-lined songwriting approach that puts vocal melodies at the foreground of a mosaic of overdriven guitars.
To help bring her vision for Flux to life Poppy brought in acclaimed producer Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Deafheaven, Jimmy Eat World) who had Poppy's band record live to tape, accentuating the warmth of the arrangements and lending a decidedly personal touch to the new set of material.
Watch the self-directed video for Flux below.
Poppy unleashed the singles Church Outfit and the EP Stagger in 2022.
