The last we heard from Toronto pop glitch princess Allie X was her late fall single “Never Enough“, now she’s about to embark on a tour with Troye Sivan and has released a new track in celebration. Titled “Old Habits Die Hard” it’s the sleek synthy cold pop goodness we’ve come to expect and love from Miss. X. As Allie says,
“‘Old Habits Die Hard’ is an xpression of this action: laughing at your own weakness as it seduces you one more time. It’s a cruel reality when you believe you’ve overcome an addiction, just to find that it still has you by the throat. I tried to keep the language of the lyric conversational, because ‘old habits die hard’, the saying itself, has a jest in it’s undertone (like so many idioms do) that seems to justify/celebrate that self destructive moment when you just…give up.”
Give it a listen above.
X is currently working on her follow up record, aptly titled COLLXTION II. In the mean time, listen to COLLXTION I which is out now on Label X. Catch Allie X live with Troye Sivan at one of the dates below.
