Yup I had to write a review. This album made me cry in two different songs. Surviving on Defiance (which just made me choke up thinking about it)…. How do I even begin? Poppy’s ability to mix metalcore with girly synthpop has soothed something in my “grew up on Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys, then found Evanescence and Metallica” soul. Then… halo???? Can she get any sweeter? I’m the same age as Poppy about a month apart actually. I’ve always loved poppy’s music but I have to say halo was the first time I felt like she was actually speaking directly to me. Her other songs like tomorrow and yesterday, all shine light on the problems I’m going through right now. Poppy knows how to connect to her audience and her vulnerability is what keeps her so perfectly poppy.
