Empty Hands is the upcoming seventh studio album by American singer Poppy. It is scheduled to be released through Sumerian Records on January 23, 2026. The album has been preceded by three singles thus far, "Unravel", "Bruised Sky" and "Guardian".
Background
On September 2, 2025, Poppy premiered the song "Bruised Sky" at her concert in Worcester, Massachusetts.[1] The same month, she collaborated with Courtney LaPlante of Spiritbox and Amy Lee of Evanescence on the song, "End of You".[2] In October 2025, she released "Unravel" as the album's lead single, and also announced the Constantly Nowhere Tour.[3][4] The tour will kick off in Brisbane on January 20, 2026.[5]
Empty Hands was announced on November 12, 2025, along with the release of its second single, "Bruised Sky".[6][7] The album features 13 tracks that are produced by Jordan Fish, who previously worked with Poppy on her sixth album Negative Spaces (2024).[8]
Composition
Empty Hands will feature elements of industrial music and pop sensibilities, with moments that call back to Poppy’s surrealist roots with her signature uncanny, machine-like voice.[9]
