Babymetal vs Poppy

2025-04-04 by DatsNotDaMetulz | 20 Comments
Kawaii metal pioneers Babymetal have released the latest track from their upcoming 5th album (albeit marketed as their 4th "original" album) METAL FORTH which is set for release on 13 June.
The track, "from me to u", features fellow pop singer-turned-metal artist Poppy, and is one of a number of guest features set to appear on the new album. Interestingly, the majority of the song appears to be performed in English, a change from Babymetal's prior output.


METAL FORTH Track list:
01. from me to u (feat. Poppy)
02. RATATATA (BABYMETAL x Electric Callboy)
03. Song 3 (BABYMETAL x Slaughter to Prevail)
04. Kon! Kon! (feat. Bloodywood)
05. KxAxWxAxIxI
06. Sunset Kiss (feat. Polyphia)
07. My Queen (feat. Spiritbox)
08. Algorism
09. METALI!! (feat. Tom Morello)
10. White Flame -白炎-

I'm torn because I think Babymetal going back to their more fun side is the right call, but the fact that only three songs don't have a feature make me feel a bit iffy

@AnimalForce - you pretty much summed up my exact thoughts lol but I'm otherwise hyped for this. And at least the songs with Polyphia and Morello aren't gonna feature any guest vocals.

True. I guess it makes it 5 with features and 5 without, but that's by technicality, and it still is more features than you'd usually see on Babymetal albums outside of Metal Galaxy

They're running out of album titles lol, what is a Metal Forth?? Anyways, glad they're back to making vibrant bangers. Always like when they have features.

Oh and KxAxWxAxIxI was written by DAIDAI of Paledusk fame. This album has more collabs than the early Soulfly albums where every other song had at least one guest.

Wish they’d pass on the collab with Slaughter to Prevail. Otherwise I’m excited, this track is really nice

@Tunda Metal Forth like marching forth. But it has a double meaning because the producer of BABYMETAL considered the last album a spin off of sorts so this is the "real" fourth BABYMETAL album.

As it turns out, Song 3 is also on Slaughter To Prevail's new album too. But instead of being the 3rd track, it's track 7 on there cos fuck it.

"Is that even legal"

Which part? The song on two different albums, or a song called Song 3 being track 7 on an album

Yeah it happens with collabs all the time. I think the "Babymetal X [artist]" tracks are done that way to allow the other artists to include the tracks on their albums too. Bloodywood just made two tracks with them so they have a different song each.
