Returning with a new album, Cape God which also features Troye Sivan and Mitski, Allie X announces an extensive tour and a new single – the ominous yet instantly memorable Devil I Know.
The track is haunting and subtly mighty as Allie X takes back some of her strength with this song with her incredible vocal range.
Moreover, Allie X explains, “The lyrics to ‘Devil I Know’ follow my inner dialogue as I address my abuser directly. ‘Every time I take your lead feels like a curse. Every time I try to stop feels even worse. Baby, you’re the devil I know. Better than the devil I don’t….”
Powerful indeed, Allie details further, “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 helps 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.” Listen to Devil I know below or via your preferred streaming site HERE.
