That Poppy (also simply known as Poppy)[1] is an American singer and songwriter best known for her musical project That Poppy and for her YouTube channel of the same name. She grew up in Nashville, Tennessee[2] and moved to Los Angeles in 2014 to pursue her musical career,[3] teaming up with director[2] and musician[4] Titanic Sinclair to make a series of abstract promotional videos on YouTube.

Early life

She recalls wanting to be a Rockette as a child and grew up dancing,[5] which she did for 11 years.[6] Her father was a drummer in a band,[3] the name of which remains unknown, and she recalls watching his band play when she was very young.[4][7]

Poppy's real name and identity is kept guarded, with That Poppy explaining, "I don't want people to talk about how old I am; I want them to talk about what I'm making [...] People, especially nowadays, are so obsessed with knowing everything. They'll have to invest their time in finding it."[8]

Music career

In 2015, Poppy signed to Island Records, and released her debut single, "Lowlife", on July 24, 2015.[2][9] PopularTV has described the track as one that "will make you want to break out your old checkered Vans and hang with the skater boys."[10] Lowlife was later featured on the compilation album Now That's What I Call Music! 58 in the United States. A remix of the Lowlife track was released in April 2016.[11] and has received airplay on BBC Radio.[12] She released her first EP, Bubblebath on February 12, 2016, a four-track pop record on Island.[13] A track from the EP, titled "Money", was used in the television show Scream during the debut episode of the second season, "I Know What You Did Last Summer",[14] and was also used for the video game The Sims 4, on the "Tween Pop" radio station for the Kids Room Stuff pack.Vorlage:Cn

Poppy has described herself as a "kawaii Barbie Child",[4][15] and has said that her style is inspired by that of J-pop artists.[16] She has described her music style as "music [that] makes you want to rule the world."[2] Poppy recalls beginning to write music in 2012. She has said before that a large inspiration of hers, along with her favorite artist, is Cyndi Lauper.[2][7][16] She has also cited Elvis Presley as a musical inspiration.[16]

Reception

Although many have praised the catchiness of her music, many have also discussed her persona of Poppy as being distant from reality. Racked described That Poppy as being "sweet [and] cute, but alien [and] bizarre" and also "brightly addictive".[3] PopularTV said of her music: "Paralleling Gwen Stefani in the No Doubt era, That Poppy mixes punk with ska-pop and makes you want to get up and dance." The UQ Music Blog described Poppy as "Electra Heart meets Princess Peach".[17]

YouTube

Poppy's YouTube channel was created on October 6, 2011, and she uploaded her first video in November 2014, an abstract skit called Poppy Eats Cotton Candy, directed by Titanic Sinclair. Since then she has released over 110 further videos and as of December 2016 the channel has over 32 million views. The videos are described by their producer Sinclair as "a combination of Andy Warhol's pop accessibility, David Lynch's creepiness, and Tim Burton's zany comedic tone".[3]

Aside from her abstract promotional videos, Poppy's channel has various covers and acoustic versions of her songs, including a cover of Mac DeMarco's "My Kind of Woman" and acoustic versions of her songs "Everybody Wants to Be Poppy" and "Lowlife". That Poppy also has her own Vevo channel, which has amassed over 7 million views.

The channel also has an animated promotional mini-series called "Everybody Wants to Be Poppy", directed by Titanic Sinclair and illustrated by Melanie Foreman, which stars Poppy as herself, Titanic Sinclair as Rex, actor Matt Bennett as Pho, Canadian singer-songwriter Simon Wilcox as Phoebe, and Los Angeles-based photographer Sam McGuire as Wyatt. The series documents Poppy and Rex's journey as they attempt to find a "magical kale smoothie".
