Allie X Collxtion: Ii ((full))

The breakout hit. It uses a whistling hook and a driving beat to describe an addictive, flimsy romance that’s bound to shred.

Of the songs released during this period, only "Casanova," "That's So Us," and "Old Habits Die Hard" were remastered and ultimately included on the final release of CollXtion II . This collaborative approach not only built immense hype around the album but also cemented her reputation as an artist deeply connected with her fans.

Revisiting CollXtion II reveals a landmark in indie-pop that turns uncomfortable, painful experiences into an addictive, polished, and "x-cellent" body of work. The "X" World and Its Curation

The release of CollXtion II in 2017 marked a pivotal moment in the landscape of independent pop . While its predecessor, CollXtion I , introduced us to the enigmatic, avant-garde persona of Alexandra Hughes, CollXtion II was the project that solidified her status as a master of "concept pop"—a world where polished 80s-inspired synths meet a deeply introspective, often dark, narrative. The breakout hit

The album proved that pop music can be deeply intellectual, weird, and compromised without sacrificing big pop hooks. It provided a sanctuary for misfits, outsiders, and anyone trying to assemble their own identity from broken pieces. CollXtion II remains a brilliant, glittering monument to the beauty of self-discovery.

Allie X has spoken openly about living with anxiety and depression. CollXtion II repeatedly uses clinical language (habits, relapse, satisfaction, need) to frame emotions as symptoms. The album asks: when you cannot trust your own feelings, how do you build a self? The answer seems to be performance—the “X” persona as a functional prosthesis. This collaborative approach not only built immense hype

The album’s darkest moment. Built on a minimal, throbbing bassline, “Simon Says” reimagines the children’s game as sexual and emotional manipulation. The protagonist takes the role of the game master: “Simon says put your hands on my waist / Simon says put your hands on my waist.” But the repeated command implies coercion. Some read it as a BDSM anthem; others as a dissection of grooming. Allie X herself has described it as about “the power dynamics of wanting to be controlled but also wanting to be in control.” The track’s refusal of a traditional chorus—replacing it with a spoken-word chant—makes it deeply unsettling.
