Poppy Ajudha announces second album, Poppy
Poppy Ajudha has announced her forthcoming album, Poppy, alongside the brand new single, "Lean On Me".
Speaking about "Lean On Me", Poppy says: “We realise true friendship in the moments we are most vulnerable with each other. When I wrote ‘Lean On Me’ I was going through a breakup and struggling to make sense of my world. My friend who was experiencing their own kind of grieving found the time to give me the advice I needed, and the next day I wrote this song about the power of friendship, community, unconditional love and showing up for each other through our hardest times.”
As well as "Lean On Me", the forthcoming album will include previously released single "Girl Next Door" as well as "Ready" and "My Future".
Speaking on today’s announcement, Poppy Ajudha says: “I can’t believe I’m writing this, but my sophomore album is finally coming out! After numerous trips back and forth from London to LA, millions of revisions to perfect each song and a lot of moving the track listing around, I’ve made an album I’m so in love with, with people who I felt truly seen by, who I respected and found a natural synergy with. I really put everything into this album, it is a reflection of my growth over the last 2 years, an outward pouring of my raw vulnerability, the inner workings of my chaotic brain and the deep desire I have to challenge myself with everything I do. I’m really proud of what we made, and I hope that when you hear it, it means something to you too.
Poppy, will be released on 22 November, and is available to pre-order now.
