    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.

    Cape God does such justice to the patented Allie X sound, refining and mastering it to the extent that it makes all that came before it feel like a proof-of-concept for this project. Pulsing keyboards clashing against string instruments and met with intoxicating vocals, Cape God sees Allie X reach her final form.

    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.

    Cape God might be an awful place to visit, but the tunes are great. [Apr 2020, p.114]

    Cape God has an experimental edge to it that makes it one of the most delightfully weirdest albums of the year.

    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.

This album presents us with a strong woman who is not afraid to innovate and expose herself, since in it we see Allie X opening secret doors and showing us the two pains and a dark side that makes us want to dance while we cry. Allie X is to be congratulated for such courage to launch "CAPE GOD", this album that deserves to be listened to and appreciated by everyone with good taste and critical sense. I am ambitious when stating that "CAPE GOD" deserves to be remembered in the music awards ... GRAMMY.… Full Review »
