    cape god is allie x’s representation of maturity and artistic growth and also a relatable record for many people out there in the world. in here, she presents her best lyrics ever, varying and wandering through many topics but still remaining fun, heartbreaking and honest. truly one of my 2020 favorites.

    'Cape God' sets an exciting atmosphere right in its first song that keeps on going for the rest of the tracks and make you listen to it in a different way without wanting to do anything else. "June Gloom", "Love Me Wrong", "Susie Save Your Love" and "Madame X" are the absolute sand-outs for me. Great album, very cohesive and immersive. It´s just like a trip.

    One of the most excellent pop releases I’ve heard in years. The lyrics are smart, specific, and relatable. The production is sumptuous. And here more than ever, Allie proves that she has an incredible voice and is a force to be reckoned with in the world of underground pop. Fave tracks: Fresh Laundry, Regulars, June Gloom, Super Duper Party People, Susie Save Your Love

    Canada's most authentic yet unknown pop goddess, Allie X, produces YET another brilliantly dark and twisted album of radio-friendly goth pop bangers even if the tempo has downshifted. Fresh Laundry, Devil I know and Regulars, in particular, stand out as ear-worm inducing hits. Why she isn't as big as Gaga or T-Swift is beyond me...

    É impressionante como Allie X conseguiu transformar um álbum de 12 músicas e um Photoshoot impecável em uma passagem para um mundo alternativo onde podemos nos conectar com sua palavra.

    I was tired of listening to main pop artists so I decided to look for something fresh to add to my playlist. I suddenly saw that Australian singer Troye Sivan had collaborated with a female singer whose existence I was somehow ignoring. That's how I came against Allie X and how this project blew my mind.

    "Cape God" is the first project I hear from her and it is fabulous. The album has a cinematographic atmosphere that reminds me of the sound Lana del Rey had back in the day or Fleurie's; that's a compliment, tho. Even though I enjoy a lot this kind of sound, the album sounds a little bit monotonous to me. I don't know, maybe I need to listen to it once again. What I've enjoyed the most has been the lyrics. Allie's messages are smart and relatable and its production is exquisite. To sum up, I have enjoyed "Cape God" very much since it presents us a strong empowered woman who is not afraid to innovate and expose herself who is able to make a record filled with crying-dancy tracks. It that a thing? Well, now it is. I am grateful to have discovered this young and fresh promise of indie-pop-alternative music. I am looking forward to hearing what she has to offer us. I will definitely recommend it to all my friends!    … Expand

    I think some of y'all giving 10/10 need to come down to Earth a bit. There are quality pop songs on here. "Love Me Wrong" is an absolute 10/10 because of how hauntingly beautiful it is. I wish Allie showed more of her range like that throughout the whole album. This could have been her "Titanic Rising" (Weyes Blood) but some of the tracks here are not as in-depth that everybody is hypingI think some of y'all giving 10/10 need to come down to Earth a bit.

This could have been her "Titanic Rising" (Weyes Blood) but some of the tracks here are not as in-depth that everybody is hyping about. There are different styles she toys with but some fall flat, especially "Life of the Party." The tracks that were great include "Love Me Wrong," "Fresh Laundry," "Devil I Know," and "Super Duper Party People." She has potential but she needs to be consistent with the songwriting.… Expand

    Definitivamente el mejor proyecto de su carrera, consagrandose como una gran exponente para la musica Pop, y demostrando que merece mucho más de lo que tiene. Ha logrado traer un sonido bastante fresco, muy variado con letras bastante profundas y personales, sin duda un inperdible de este 2020 con joyas como 'Regulars', 'Rings a Bell', 'Love Me Wrong', y 'Madame X'
    Gratamente sorprendido.

    These songs may sound fun, upbeat, and lovelorn, but there's a dour and utterly realistic undercurrent that makes Cape God Allie X's most relatable and human effort to date.

    When Hughes tries out more rote pop songs, Cape God can get a little dry. ... Still, the sad world of Cape God is an alluring one, and Hughes’ vocal range is its unequivocal linchpin.

    Allie X's debut, 2017's CollXtion II, was a fun, if simplistic outing, but Cape God is an album undeniably made by a woman truly forging her own path however she sees fit. Not to mention championing the wickedly bright future of avant-garde, ascendant music.
