“Healthy Relief” with 9TAILS is an instant hit. Nonetheless, the lyrics are still highly emotionally charged, which should be expected from a poppy tears project. Again, the productions are careful and thoughtful, but with a lighter feel, letting the listener breathe after the dramatic introduction to the album. With “Rewind,” the fourth track of Behind Screens, the intensity is cut. A familypet feature is also quite notable, due to the fact the New York duo rarely collaborate with others. “Empty Hands” with Angel of Tears and familypet has harmonious vocals that send a chill down the listeners spine, providing a truly intoxicating collaboration. It’s the inner monologue of an addicted mind, with the desire and the inability to change in the wake of destruction being common threads throughout the album as a whole. poppy tears admits that if his lifestyle, habits and overwhelming death-drive doesn’t let up soon, he will lose it all. “I Don’t Really Wana Change Rn” is a confession, a slightly more angsty track concerning self-deception.
poppy tears’ vocals alone are enough to have the listener holding back tears, but the instrumentation, layered with Angel of Tears soothing vocals, ensure a visceral blow to the gut. “It’s All Yours” with Angel of Tears is a delicate prayer, featuring soft, understated productions. The album is vulnerable, dreamy, and displays great versatility and willingness to push the boundaries of experimentation. The multi-faceted artist just debuted his third project of 2018, Behind Screens - and it’ s exactly what you need right now. The Stockholm based musician has been consistently releasing powerfully lush tracks for years. Despite remaining relatively under the radar, poppy has worked extensively with notable artists, including lil happy lil sad, Lil Lotus, familypet, 9TAILS, and more.
