Interview with Poppy - Salt Lake City, UT 03/16/2025

I had the awesome opportunity to sit down and chat with one of my favorite artists in Salt Lake City on Sunday, Poppy! She discussed her ongoing headline tour, her new album Negative Spaces, and her experience in 2024, which she described as a year full of exciting adventures. She shared that it was her first headline tour in many years and expressed excitement about performing new songs like "Vital" and "The Center's Falling Out." Poppy also reflected on her collaborations, including her work on the hit track "Violence Against Nature" with Bad Omens and her Grammy-nominated song "Suffocate" with Knocked Loose, acknowledging the tough competition from Gojira with their Olympics performance.The conversation also explored her creative collaborations and influences. Poppy mentioned her dream of working with André 3000 and her appreciation for his "flute album." She also discussed the writing process for Negative Spaces, noting her productive collaboration with Jordan Fish of Bring Me the Horizon, and described the album as a blend of various genres that reflect their mutual eclectic tastes.In addition to her music, Poppy talked about her comedic and surreal YouTube series Improbably Poppy, which initially premiered on Veeps before appearing on YouTube. She described it as a "multiple watch kinda thing" due to its wild and unconventional content, likening it to her earlier days as a YouTube creator.Poppy also mentioned her beloved cat, Pi, who sometimes accompanies her on tour, and recounted a scare when Pi swallowed a hair tie. The interview wrapped up with anticipation for her concert at The Complex in Salt Lake City and hints at future projects, including the possibility of more Improbably Poppy content.FOLLOW ME EVERYWHERE @VIKTORWILTVisit our website: https://riverbendmediagroup.com/info-page/the-viktor-wilt-show/Subscribe to the KBear YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@kbear101rmgFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kbear101fmFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kbear101fm/Follow us on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/kbear101fm.bsky.socialFollow us on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@kbear101fmFollow us on X/Twitter: https://x.com/kbear101fm
