. alliex on her latest album ‘Cape God’
Allie X is impossible to miss. With her bleached brows, gentle yet commanding voice, and eye for couture and couture-adjacent looks, the artist, born Alexandra Hughes, has a unique style and confidence that's only grown since 2006. That was the year she first began writing and performing her own music under the name Allie Hughes in her native Toronto.
Hughes coped with chronic illness as a teenager, which led to her feeling alienated from her peers. Being held captive by her own body, according to her, was a traumatic experience — one that informed her relationship to her own emotions."My body sort of became something that I didn't have control over anymore or recognize," she tells NYLON."That was very isolating. Girls and boys started dating, and I was not a part of that.
Getting from that point to where she is now, a fully realized artist with a deep catalog of work and reputation for forward-thinking aesthetics, style, and sound, is a testament to Hughes' resilience, strength, and self-awareness — which shows up on Cape God tracks like"Super Duper Party People" and"June Gloom," which has lyrics that sound not unlike a Billie Eilish track:"June gloom in my room/ These days, I like to stay inside/ Watching the kids get high.
