| Song |
Catch is the debut single by Canadian singer-songwriter Allie X, off of her debut studio record, CollXtion I released initially on February 3, 2014, with a GIF designed in coordination with Logan White and Krissie Torgerson. On January 21, 2015 music video was released. It is the first single under the name of Allie X.
Recording and Composition
Production took nearly two years to complete, going through several massive changes in tempo, key, and genre. Approximately 20 versions of the song exist, the first of which is a R&B track. The song has been described as detailing a macabre doctor-patient relationship. She has also stated the song deals with her not wanting to submit to all of the addictions associated with fame.
Critical Response
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."
Promotion
The song was performed live for the first time in a stripped down acoustic version for Nylon Magazine.
