And honestly, if there is anyone I would trust to soundtrack the witching hour, it is this particular priestess of dark, deliciously dramatic pop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Factor in the Halloween season, and the timing could hardly be more perfect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Midway through her tour, Allie X has dropped <strong>\u2018Midnight for the Masses\u2019<\/strong>, a self-produced offering that plunges headfirst into our collective seduction by convenience, the looming threat of digital collapse and that rather unsettling business of numbing ourselves to the pain of simply being human.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/gb\/album\/midnight-for-the-masses\/6818519745?i=6818519749&amp;itscg=30200&amp;itsct=music_box_badge&amp;ls=1&amp;app=music&amp;mttnsubad=6818519749\" style=\"display: inline-block\"><br \/>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/toolbox.marketingtools.apple.com\/api\/v2\/badges\/listen-on-apple-music\/standard-white\/en-us\" alt=\"Listen on Apple Music\" style=\"width: 367px;height: 82px;vertical-align: middle;object-fit: contain\" \/><br \/>\n    <\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, I have always appreciated an artist who can make existential dread sound like something I might happily dance around my living room to. And Allie X appears to have understood the assignment rather spectacularly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With references to:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;it&#8217;s not enough to score, your hearts still sore, any pain relief, can we rest in peace&#8221;.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the rather telling refrain<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I&#8217;m killing my sadness, midnight for the masses&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a fascinating tension between the song&#8217;s hypnotic, danceable appeal and its rather bleak subject matter. We are talking about surrendering to convenience, seeking temporary relief and potentially losing a little of ourselves along the way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allie herself describes the track as:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;A song about surrendering to convenience until you don\u2019t quite recognise yourself anymore. I kissed the beast too, so I\u2019m in no position to judge.<br \/>Possibly my most digital-sounding song yet. Something to kill your sadness and dance to&#8221;.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that, dear readers, is precisely where the magic lies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is something wonderfully Allie X about turning the prospect of digital doom into an invitation to move your feet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, should you find yourself feeling a little emotionally haunted this Halloween, consider this your invitation to surrender to the synths.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Connect with Allie X<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Facebook:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/alliexxxxandra\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/alliexxxxandra\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Instagram:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alliex\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alliex\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/eqmusicblog.com\/allie-x-midnight-for-the-masses\/\">Allie X \u2018Midnight for the Masses\u2019: Witchy Goth-Pop for Halloween<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/eqmusicblog.com\">EQ Music<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/eqmusicblog.com\/allie-x-midnight-for-the-masses\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With alt-pop superstar Allie X currently taking her deliciously theatrical pop catalogue across Europe and the UK on the Serial Diva Tour, there was a rather golden opportunity to unleash something new.
