It’s more about finding your own truth in this mad world that we live in."

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You’re a hugeRuPaul’s Drag Racefan, right?
I heard you actually voiced a character on a challenge once?ALLIE X:I did!
I did the voice of Princess Di, with Katya lip-syncing [duringAll Stars 2].
You also had Violet Chachki ofDrag Racefame in the video for “All the Rage.”
I love how openly you embrace the LGBT community.
I was in Provincetown, Rhode Island around age 10 with my family.
I waved at them and smiled and they waved back, like “Hey sweetie!”
It’s a fond memory…
Ten years old!?
That’ssucha young age to be experiencing peak P-Town in the summer!
[Laughs] I know!
The pop community has also embraced you.
I feel like I’m doing it the right way.
I’m growing my fan base.
We’re kind of like a community.
Fans actually helped you shapeCollXtion II, right?
Radio is still incredibly important, but even that is shifting.
I see that happening a lot.
Lyrically, it’s more abstract, and sounds are more analog.
That song is such a bop.I love that song!
Troye actually co-wrote it.
Your songs are also so cinematic.
On that level, I relate to drag queens as well.
I feel the need to build…
I’m very dramatic with my emotions and in my head, everything is extreme and cinematic.
… and everything comes back to drag queens.As it should, darling.
Lyrically, I’m particular for my own project.
If it’s a co-write, I’m picking them apart.
Sometimes I do, but very rarely.
I’m more of a melody person when it comes to pitching.
Are you writing for anyone else at the moment?Yeah, I am…
I’m also working on a film that will probably come out in 2018.
We’re also working on [Troye’s] second album.
That’s how it is with these potential cuts I have with other artists.
He’s in a different place for this album.
It’s looking like October probably, getting on some new stuff.
I have my folder of stuff that’s on the back burner that I might use as well.
