I Disagree and the Turn to Metal
My first records were pop. Then the guitars got heavier. Here's how that happened, and who came along for it.
What changed with I Disagree?
Poppy.Computer and Am I a Girl? were electropop and bubblegum pop. I Disagree, released on 10 January 2020, moved toward heavy metal and industrial rock. I've called it "post-genre", and that's still the best word for it.
What was the Grammy nomination?
"Bloodmoney" was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 2021 Grammys. I was the first solo female artist ever nominated in that category. At the 2025 ceremony, "Suffocate", my song with Knocked Loose, was nominated in the same category.
Who have I worked with?
- Diplo
- Grimes, on "Play Destroy"
- Fever 333, on "Scary Mask"
- Bad Omens, on "V.A.N" (2024)
- Knocked Loose, on "Suffocate" (2024)
- Babymetal, on "From Me to U" (2025)
Where did the heavy era lead?
Through Flux (2021) and Zig (2023) to Negative Spaces on 15 November 2024, the record that brought a critical resurgence. Then came Empty Hands on 23 January 2026, on Sumerian Records.
How does the heavy side look on merch?
- Black first: a black hoodie or crewneck is the easiest way to wear the heavy records.
- Red as the accent: red is the colour of this era, and of this store.
- White for contrast: every design also comes on white, if you'd rather wear it bright.
Every design comes on a tee, a long sleeve, a crewneck and a hoodie, with kids' and youth sizes too. My albums from beginning to end are in the albums behind the designs.
