Interview: Allie X’s new album, ‘Cape God’, is about bravery and healing

Read the full interview here:

Alexandra Hughes — most popularly known for her stage name, Allie X — defies the expectations of a pop star’s trajectory: there was no Disney breakthrough, no glamorous or romantic discovery or children’s talent competitions. Self-made is not usually an expression applied to female pop-stars, especially when they are also songwriters, is it? That is not to say that Allie X’s second album, Cape God, is not a collaborative effort (produced by Oscar Görren and written with James Alan Ghaleb). Her best work yet, it marks the beginning of a new chapter for the singer-songwriter, who’s work is more mature and darker whilst still being delightfully pop and even catchy (in a good way). As we sit to talk to Allie in between the launch of her album and the start of her US and European tour, there’s an imminent feeling that something big is about to happen — almost like following the beats that kickstart her album in ‘Fresh Laundry’. Check out our conversation below to know more about her career trajectory and why Cape God was so healing and brave for her.
