Songs of the year, number 25: Allie X – Fresh Laundry

Canadian singer/songwriter Allie X is a bit of an electro pop superstar in her home country, but I must confess to not having been aware of her before the release of this slice of hypnotic wonky pop. Her biog on Spotify says she has been compared to Chvrches, Ellie Goulding and The Knife pre their Silent Shout album and, while I wouldn't normally quote from someones online biog, this does feel like a spot on description of what she's about.

'Fresh Laundry' is a slightly odd song, it's strange, beautiful and intriguing and, as such, I look forward to hearing more from Allie X in 2020.
