A note from Allie X:
Dear beloved fans,
I am cancelling my North American tour. I have been struggling physically as I’ve been touring this winter. Through the course of my touring career, I’ve learned there are times to push through and then there are times to give your body a break (no matter how much you don’t want to disappoint). This is one of those times. It is because of your compassion and understanding about my physical limitations that I feel comfortable doing this months in advance and not pushing myself into a danger zone with my health, as I have in the past. I’ve actually really been loving touring this last few years (which is why I booked so many) and I’m really sad I won’t be able to do this one. If you can wait for me though, I will make it up to you. My sincere apologies.
Love Allie

Allie X’s fourth record, Happiness Is Going to Get You, is a patina-tinged whirlwind of infernal and liminal nostalgia. Its sound—alive and rapturous—elaborates upon Hughes’ signature dark whimsy. Co-produced by Bastian Langebaek, Happiness Is Going to Get You dances through baroque flair—harpsichord, timpani, zither and strings colour the arrangements—while drenched in a chaotic multiple decade sprawl of influences such as Tori Amos, Paul McCartney, Bach, and Air, to name a few. Slowly spiralling through time, Happiness Is Going To Get You is a ferrotype portrait of a woman in free-fall, revisiting tableaus of her life with wide, wet eyes. Its storytelling—carrying a stark sense of eerie calm—balances an inevitable truth: that, as certainly as pain, happiness is coming.
This sense of newfound serenity doubly birthed the record’s heroic alter-ego: The Infant Marie—a bygone time-traveller encased in a Perspex cube, drifting through modernity in the album artwork, delivering the record’s titular message. Marie contrasts the cold, digital world of the twenty-first century and a more tactile, ornamental one recalled from childhood; between programmed beats and wooden keys; between a curated persona and the raw, unfiltered self trying to survive. Backed by this fully-formed narrative, Happiness Is Going to Get You plays like a tragicomedy—poetic, exposed and oddly at peace with its own cosmic punchline. It’s best captured on the rapturous ‘It’s Just Light’ , wherein Hughes captures the disquieting clarity that comes with surrender: “The light / It shines through the glass / And it burns me with its rays.” Hughes doesn’t fight it anymore. She lets it in.
