Thank you so much for reacting to more Allie X 💛 For this era, she drew a lot of inspiration from the ‘V a p o r w a v e’ sound and aesthetic which is supposed to evoke a nostalgic 80s feel. I kind of think of the intro as elevator music for the opening of one of America’s first mega-malls, and a lot of the synths used in these songs have a very analogue/retro sound to them which places them squarely within the decade. She was trying to do something very specific with her sound here, and in some ways it worked well but in others it detracted from the sound she had built over the first two records. I agree that this is probably my least favourite body of work from her but it still had some real sleeper hits for me - Focus, Science and Not So Bad in LA grew on me a lot on repeated listens. They just have this weird sedated/narcotic summer vibe to them which is unique and a lot of fun. And even in the songs of hers I’m not a huge fan of, as you said there’s always interesting details to notice and cool little flourishes to pick out that she adds to all her music. If you decide to listen to Cape God, I think you’ll enjoy it a lot - it uses a lot more traditional instrumentation so the production is less aggressive and more of a vibe (but with a strange ‘bounciness’ and ‘funk’ to retain that Allie X uniqueness). The bonus tracks as well are essential listening, so make sure you go for the deluxe version as some of the best songs on Cape God are the b sides! Though obviously don’t torture yourself with them if you find you don’t vibe with Cape God 😂 They’re all at the end of the album anyway so you can decide if you want more once you reach the last track. Even if your Allie X journey ends here, thank you so much for listening and making such great reactions to her music 💛💛 It’s a joy to see more people discover her because she has such a unique approach to sound and lyrics that really differentiates itself from other pop music.
I knew you would love Science! She actually wrote that song about her boyfriend Jungle George and they met while shooting the scrapped music video for Prime (that's why the mention of the song in the lyrics) and in the outro, she actually samples Prime itself in a slowed down version
I appreciate you sm for taking the time to listen to ur viewers suggestions im so happy allie is getting exposure 😭 I love lovee super sunset but i see ur point about the production and how sometimes it can be overbearing 😶🌫️. but those big summer-y overproduced songs give me sm nostalgia. can’t wait for cape god !
oh btw i have a possible suggestion- there’s a pretty new artist that i’ve been obsessed w/ and her album is coming out on the 26th, “My Mind Wanders and Sometimes Leaves Completely” by Lola Young her singles off that album are soo good and i think you’d like some of them ! hopefully u can check it out
@@BethThereseReacts no i absolutely get it i have too many albums that i gotta be in the mood for that i have saved lol. i rlly hope you click with cg though!
omg… I cant believe one of my favorite reactors reacted to the best song in the world (Science) I’ve waited so long for this thank you for checking this out ❤
Little Things and Can't Stop Now are my faivourites from this album, but honestly, I treat this album as an EP. Anyway, here's my ranking of her discography: 1. Cape God 2. Collxtion II 3. Super Sunset 4. Collxtion I
I just watched both of your Allie X reactions yesterday LOL you should check out the analog version of focus! it does have an explosive outro like you were talking about. she does some really cool things vocally when she does science live as well! i cant wait for you to get into cape god, the deluxe edition is definitely worth listening to the bonus tracks are some of my favorite songs from that whole era. :)
Girl of the year is THAT biatch, basicamente, la cancion habla de lo desechables que son las artistas femeninas para los fans y el publico en general, si no trabajan tan duro como suelen hacerlo y si no se reinventan a si mismas, la gente se va a quejar y las va a destrozar (algo que no suelen hacer con los hombres)Ademas habla de como las artistas femeninas son facilmente reemplazadas por las nuevas chicas "IT" mas jovenes y el publico empieza a faltarles el respeto, comparandolas y tratando de ponerlas unas contra otras.
Watching your first two videos and then this, Little Things has surprised me with how much it feels like CollXtion I. Am I the only one? I haven't heard anyone mention that and until now I hadn't thought of that but I feel a connXtion 👀
Science just does something to me. I become another person. Suddenly I’m in the 80s driving on the freeway at night in my sports car with my imaginary boyfriend in the passenger seat passing neon lights- UGH it clears my skin when i hear it. Idk how else to describe it
Honestly she’s one of the artists where I HAVE to listen to her live. She has amazing musical skill and vocal talent it’s amazing. Songs like Little Things, Science, Girl of the Year etc the ad libs and different interpretations from each live performance absolutely kill me.
Omgggg, SUPER SUNSET it's my least favorite from her discography BUT if you liked that much Can't Stop Now you will absolutely LOVE Cape God. Can't waitt.
So happy you are taking the journey through her discography. She tends to get left to the side, even for niche pop resction videos. Cape God is one of my fav albums of all time, so can't wait to see what you think of it!
Heeeeey, thanks for this reaction!!! Also I wanted to suggest you to check out my debut EP which comes out tomorrow, it will be available on my channel . I immigrated from Russia in 2022 due to war and this experience has inspired me to write this album! Hope you'll like it and may be you'll want to do a review!
Science and Can’t Stop Now are 100% Bops on this album. Can’t wait for you go dive into Cape God. It will take you on a journey
Cape God is the SUPREMACY ❣️ alliex best
She's actually one of the fewest artist that used synthwave on today's music. People say the weekend did it first but they forget the queen Allie x.
Thank you so much for reacting to more Allie X 💛

Anyway, here's my ranking of her discography:

3. Super Sunset
4. Collxtion I
Glad you liked Science and Can’t Stop Now… those are like total bops

CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR CAPE GOD REACTION, IT"S SO DIFFERENT FROM EVERYTHHING SHE DID BEFORE
I was attending my first Marina concert at the Brighton centre, and Allie X came on as the supporting act... and been big fan since ❤
Awesome stuff, can't wait for cape goooooooood.
The analog versions of Science and Focus are even better for me I think, you should check them out
Super Sunset is just a good summery vibes L.A. album✨, literally is summer sunset ✨🌅
Yesss very true
Allie actually did sample Prime for the outro of science, the intro of prime is slowed down for science!
Girl of the Year is one of my all time favorite songs 💛🩷
it’s grown on me so much 🩵 i genuinely love it now!
love love love. the vintage concert is super cool!
THANK U I WAS WAITING SO MUCH FOR THIS, pleaseeeee do Cape God
🩵🩵🩵

ah, i didn’t know it was that deep! that song has grown on me so much and i love that meaning
Wow. I never thought of it. Tiene doble sentido.
YEESSSSS finally my girl is getting attention 😭😭😭
she deserves it honestly!
Love this record, my personal favorite after CLXI. Science and Girl of the Year are bops!! deserve some attention.
OMFG after gazillion years!
yeah lol😅🩵

Also hoping her new album (2023/2024) is going to go more in this 1980s dark experimental pop synth direction
You need to react to cape god 😢
OMG HOW DID I MISS YOU POSTING THIS?!
Honestly she’s one of the artists where I HAVE to listen to her live. She has amazing musical skill and vocal talent it’s amazing. Songs like Little Things, Science, Girl of the Year etc the ad libs and different interpretations from each live performance absolutely kill me.
I actually prefer the live versions of some songs to the studio versions. I loved her SUPER SUNSET DIGITAL CONCERT.
science my favourite 😍
I guess the reason why it's so washed out is the vaporwave/synthwave direction
Massive Allie X fan, been for years and love your reactions! Why haven’t you reacted to Cape God? Maybe you say it in Girl With No Face
Little Things is my fav💕
Science is my Favorite I've Had it on my TH-cam playlist for a while now it's a masterpiece
Yessss
I love your videos
thank you 🥺🩵
THANKS 😭, the analog version of the album is way superior 🙏😔
ooh what’s analog? i’ll have to check it!
@@BethThereseReacts They are more eighties versions of the songs
omfg i cant believe finally someone DIDNT SLEPT ON ALLIE X
she’s so good i love her 😭🩵
Omgggg, SUPER SUNSET it's my least favorite from her discography BUT if you liked that much Can't Stop Now you will absolutely LOVE Cape God. Can't waitt.
Omggggg yay
❤
🩵🩵🩵
So happy you are taking the journey through her discography. She tends to get left to the side, even for niche pop resction videos. Cape God is one of my fav albums of all time, so can't wait to see what you think of it!
she deserves more recognition!
DO CAPE GOD NOWWWWW
But wait we need an Allie x Melanie Martinez collab I just realized
YES! Can’t Stop Now production reminds me of Melanie 😭🩵
Heeeeey, thanks for this reaction!!! Also I wanted to suggest you to check out my debut EP which comes out tomorrow, it will be available on my channel .
