Poppy's Unique Take on Wham's "Last Christmas"
Poppy, the versatile artist known for her genre-bending style, has released a captivating cover of Wham's beloved Christmas classic, "Last Christmas," as part of Spotify's Singles Holiday series. Collaborating with producer and former Bring Me the Horizon member Jordan Fish, Poppy has reimagined the iconic tune, infusing it with her distinct electronic, industrial, and pop-punk flair.
In this rendition, the duo enhances the chord progression with powerful guitars and electronic elements, while also taking creative liberties with the original song's verses. The chorus, however, remains true to Wham's original version, preserving the familiar melody that fans of the original will instantly recognize.
Fish's Instagram post, with the cryptic message "Christmas came early," sparked excitement among fans, who eagerly anticipated the release. This cover comes on the heels of Poppy's successful Fall 2025 headlining tour, which concluded this past weekend, marking another remarkable year for the artist.
Over the past few months, Poppy has been on a collaborative streak, working with like-minded artists such as Amy Lee and Courtney LaPlante, as well as the renowned BABYMETAL. These collaborations resulted in the release of new tracks, including "End of You" and "From Me to U," following the release of her latest studio album, "Negative Spaces," in November 2024.
