Untitled

CollXtion I is the debut studio EP by Canadian singer-songwriter Allie X, released physically on April 7, 2015 with a short cell cycle. It is her first record released under the name Allie X. The digital EP was originally scheduled for release on April 7, 2015, but was pushed back to April 14, 2015. CollXtion I is intended to be the first of at least 5 "CollXtions," each being a unique multimedia experience that will include the spinning GIF's featured in her YouTube videos, a comic detailing an abstract autobiography, and song stems to allow fans to make their own creations. She has stated that the EP is influenced by her interest in medicine, psychology, and the macabre.

Promotion

CollXtion I has been promoted by full length tracks of the singles, released to YouTube and her Soundcloud, and xamples, or snippets, of other non-single tracks released exclusively on YouTube, all of which feature her characteristic spinning GIF animations. She will be undertaking an artist's residency at the Phi Centre in Montreal, Canada from April 30 to May 2, 2015. The residency will begin with a live performance on April 30, and will include interactive media installations, a pop-up shop, and a curated online experience.

Critical Response

The singles preceding CollXtion I received acclaim from many music critics. Upon the release of Catch, Jamie Milton of DIY magazine says, of Allie X and her single, "Allie X stepped on the scene like a bottle of wine at a wedding - everyone wanted a piece of her." TIME's Jasmine Cox complemented the track, saying it "shines with a level of polish and craft that’s remarkable," and complemented X's "attention to detail." Logan White of Billboard magazine called Catch "an expertly crafted, remarkably vulnerable synth-pop showcase." Carl Williot from Idolator said that Catch was "everything that’s wonderful about under-the-radar pop music right now: immaculate hooks, pristine synth work, vocal versatility, bold atmospherics and a beating, bursting heart," and named it "the best song of 2014."

Buzzfeed's Matthew Perpetua described Prime as a "colorful, stylish synth pop song" that is "arguably even better than Catch." Melissa Locker of TIME called the song "an injection of sparkly synth-pop that’s so catchy. it reminds you of why pop songs are called infectious in the first place."

Bitch was described as, "brimming with bubbly bleeps and sonic squelches," and as highlighting "Ms. X’s dream-like vocals," by Robbie Daw of Idolator. Popjustice said, "Allie X is one of the best new entities in all of Pop," going on to say that Bitch "is a bit noisier than Prime and Catch but no less amazing."
