Passed me by on first release, over the years it’s grown and grown, and is now possibly my favourite track by her. Happy Valentine’s Day pop pickers.

Poppy - Software Upgrade (USA, 2017)
In which Poppy, in the days before she discovered the dark lords of metal, muses on the very modern problem of dating an artificial intelligence. Gloriously giddy computer pop, with J-pop and techno influences.

Read this thread, and respond - you only have a short time. I find these proposals inhumane, unjustifiable and sickening. If you have an ounce of decency, you probably will too.
So tell the govt, asap.

This starts as a straightforward Hotline Bling cover but quickly moves into more weird and wonderful places that easily outshine the source.
Centrepiece of a whole themed mixtape that’s just as good.
