Bubblebath (partially lost unreleased songs from "That Poppy" album; 2014-2016)
Bubblebath Sessions was an album recording session by metal musician and YouTube personality, Poppy (then-known as That Poppy) that took place from 2014-2016 after she was signed to record label, Island Records.
Background
In 2014, Poppy began working with producer Titanic Sinclair to create her debut EP, originally intended to be an album, as stated by her in her video titled, "Charlotte Interviews Poppy," uploaded on August 4th, 2015
"I'm so excited for my new album coming out on Island records! It will be released on…"
In 2015, Poppy began teasing a song titled "New York," beginning with an Instagram post of the recording of the song on July 11, the title being revealed in the tags.[1] She also began performing the song at several venues and livestreams but it was never released, instead the instrumental leaked sometime after, it being used in an unreleased Poppy video prior to the leaking.[2]
Also in 2015, Poppy performed a cover of "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles and later on in 2020, a studio snippet of the cover leaked, implying it was possibly going to be on the album. The song was eventually leaked on September 21, 2023.
On May 17th, 2016, for around 30 minutes, a song called "Chewing Gum" was playable on Poppy's SoundCloud before it was taken down, and later re-uploaded by multiple users. In 2020 during a Discord Q&A, Poppy revealed it was taken down by Island Records.[3]
In May 2020 in a statement on social media, Poppy discussed her split with her old boyfriend and collaborator Titanic Sinclair where she says he was leaking old personal photos and demos, talking about demos that were leaked earlier in 2020 and 2019. Poppy adds of her ex's intentions:
"That person is releasing photos of me without makeup (and blonde hair) plus very personal demos that only he has. This is an attempt to make me feel small, insecure and exposed."[4]
Regardless, a few songs out of the wide range of Bubblebath session extended songs are still mostly lost, they are rumored to be from Bubblebath Sessions due to the sounds and lyrics of the songs matching the vibe of Bubblebath and demos by Poppy.
