Allie X is back with a new single and video performance for the song "Is Anybody out there?". The single seems to push further into darker, more introspective territory compared to some of Allie X’s work from last year. Visually the Klaus Nomi style reference is evident. The new album titled Happiness Is Going to Get You will drop in November.
