She is an absolute queen for sharing the track &#8220;<strong>GLAM!<\/strong>&#8221; so that everyone can enjoy it. The critically acclaimed singer-songwriter recently included the song as a part of a brand new special edition double LP of <strong>COLLXTION I<\/strong> and <strong>COLLXTION II<\/strong>. The repackaged recordings features songs from the unsolved era, never before heard demos and leaks. She has only given us her most, sparkiest, synth-poppiest effort in a long-time. (A noted, departure from the alternative-pop leaning and refined soundscapes featured on the singers 2020 album &#8220;<strong>Cape God<\/strong>&#8220;). This is because &#8220;<strong>GLAM!<\/strong>&#8221; was originally recorded when she moved to Los Angeles years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OMG the Brat Pack soundtrack energy, stemming from &#8220;<strong>GLAM!<\/strong>&#8221; is real. Stylistically it feels like it came fresh out of the movies &#8220;<strong>Mannequin<\/strong>,&#8221; &#8220;<strong>Weird Science<\/strong>&#8221; or &#8220;<strong>Pretty In Pink<\/strong>&#8221; because it is also a little bit on the sweet and cute side. The co-production from <strong>Mike Wise<\/strong> is everything right down to the twinkling chime-bells and hot flashes of an electronic guitar. While Allie X goes full-on 80s with her vocals, in a similar lane to <strong>Debbie Gibson<\/strong>\/<strong>Belinda Carlisle<\/strong>. She pulls out plenty of whoa-oh&#8217;s, in powerful bursts, making the track, even more, 80s authentic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/geo.music.apple.com\/gb\/album\/glam\/1547280917?i=1547280975&amp;itsct=music_box&amp;itscg=30200&amp;ct=songs_glam%21&amp;app=music&amp;ls=1\" style=\"display: inline-block; overflow: hidden; border-radius: 13px; width: 250px; height: 83px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tools.applemediaservices.com\/api\/badges\/listen-on-apple-music\/standard-black\/en-US?size=250x83&amp;releaseDate=1612483200&amp;h=001304083a43649e6314d120626d83b0\" alt=\"Listen on Apple Music\" style=\"border-radius: 13px; width: 250px; height: 83px;\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/4IazlP0NMBXhS1hF6H7et6\" width=\"700\" height=\"100\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the sun peeking through the clouds after the rainstorm, the mood is uplifting, upbeat and hopeful. One listen to &#8220;<strong>GLAM!<\/strong>&#8221; will leave you with the feeling you can take on the world. The lyrics imply, exciting beginnings, the realising of aspirations, of embarking on a project with vigour and enthusiasm. In the instance of &#8220;<strong>GLAM!<\/strong>&#8221; this is most likely representative of Alexandra Hughes starting out on her journey as her alt-pop alter-ego Allie X. Encapsulates the thrill of the move to LA and the alluring neon-life lifestyle it evokes. &#8220;<strong>GLAM!<\/strong>&#8221; is Allie X at her bubblegum pop sweetest, a flavour we have savoured, hungrily from her back catalogue and praised many times. Thanks for this tasty blast from the past Allie X, this one has been a trip of pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Connect with Allie X<\/strong><br>Facebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/alliexxxxandra\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/alliexxxxandra\/<\/a><br><strong>Twitter:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alliex\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/alliex<\/a><br><strong>Instagram:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alliex\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alliex\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alt-pop darling Allie X is an absolute queen for sharing &#8220;GLAM!&#8221; A tasty 80s synth-pop blast from the past.
