“Devil I Know” is the latest track from the Canadian musician, Allie X. It can be found on her brand new sophomore album “Cape Cod” which was released today via Twin Music Inc. Limited. Previously-released songs from the album include "Fresh Laundry," "Rings A Bell," "Regulars" and the Troye Sivan collaboration "Love Me Wrong."
When asked about “Devil I Know,” Allie X explains, “The lyrics to ‘Devil I Know’ follow my inner dialogue as I address my abuser directly. What the listener realizes as the song goes on, is that I am actually singing to myself as the perpetrator, inflicting all my own suffering. ‘I could scream somebody help me out. But the wicked one is me.’ This is a song about your own inner demons, how difficult it is to quiet them, and how easy it is to stay embraced in their arms.”
Alexandra Ashley Hughes better known today as Allie X started her career as a pop artist in Toronto in the mid-2000s, playing with local bands and writing and recording a handful of self-released albums. She then moved to Los Angeles in 2013 and began working with Cirkut and Billboard and achieved success with her first single released under the name Allie X. Her breakout single, "Catch" rose to prominence after Katy Perry referred to it as her "spring jam" on social media. Hughes released her debut EP in 2015, “CollXtion I,” followed by her debut studio album “CollXtion II” in 2017 and “Super Sunset” in 2018
Allie X's Cape God World Tour is set to begin stateside next month in March and it will make its way to cities like San Francisco, Philadelphia, Nashville, Los Angeles and more.
