    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...

    '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.

    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.

She manages to float between radio hits and out-there indie jams while maintaining consistency and a skip-less tracklist. Some of tracks have tinges of Eurythmics and Simple Minds’ nostalgic sound, all held together with crisp, crystal clear vocals and quirky live instrumentation. One of my all-time favorite albums, she gave every other indie and pop artist a run for their money.… Expand

    Top notch songwriting on a perfect pop album. No mainstream radio darling is pumping out pop tunes like Allie X. For fans of clever and meaningful songwriting and fun pop moments, this album is a must listen (and listen, and listen, and listen)!

    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.
