Diplo programs Poppy for ‘Time Is Up’

When we last heard from Poppy, she was reciting some eerie Gary Numan lyrics about engineers making her grow on her French house cover of “Metal.” On her new song with Diplo, “Time Is Up,” the theme isn’t all that different. “In the factory/In the sterile place where they made me/I woke up alone/Dizzy from the programming/Have I been wiped again?” she coos, yanking cables from her skull in the music video. Pulling from the current trend of apocalyptic pop, the title of the track says it all, but our AI goddess is happy to elaborate on the demise of humanity for the rest of the tune. Will this make it to Poppy’s new album? Will she perform it on November 19 at Boston’s House of Blues on her “Am I A Girl?” tour? Oh my God, we don’t even know.
