Poppy

Poppy seemed to pop out of nowhere this decade, gaining fame with millions of YouTube followers for her entrancing-yet-befuddling videos such as a clip where she simply repeats “I’m Poppy” for 10 minutes. But where she really came from is Boston, and she returns to the city on Feb. 4 at Paradise Rock Club to promote her Poppy Church project as well as her new album, Am I a Girl, which features a Diplo collab on “Time Is Up.” / Matt Martinelli
