专访 Allie X | 创作代表了我的情绪和人生阶段
2026-3-10
以电子与艺术流行为创作基底,Allie X 始终在流行音乐的边界探索独有的表达,用充满叙事张力的歌词与完整的概念设计,构建出极具想象力的音乐宇宙。全新专辑《Happiness Is Going To Get You》以循环时空为创作内核,在多元风格的碰撞中,完成对自我情绪与人生阶段的梳理。恰逢首次中国巡演即将启程,UPEE 有幸邀请 Allie X 进行一期专访,探寻创作背后的奇思与体验。
UPEE:我们注意到新专辑《Happiness Is Going To Get You》的字体设计成了一个圈,同时专辑首尾相接,使专辑的收听像一个无限循环的旅程,请问这是刻意为之吗?可否分享在这背后的理念?
Allie X:是刻意为之的。这张专辑视觉设计的灵感之一来自量子物理的概念,即时间是三维且循环的。专辑中的核心角色“婴儿玛丽”(the infant marie)同时存在于多个时空。我和平面设计师 Estera Lazowska 希望在版面的设计中体现这一点,我觉得她的设计非常出色。
Yes it was intentional. One of the inspirations for the visuals on this album was the idea of quantum physics. That time is 3 dimensional and looping. The main character “the infant marie” exists in multiple places. The graphic designer Estera Lazowska and I wanted to reflect this in the layout. I think she did a brilliant job.
UPEE:与此同时注意到在《Happiness Is Going to Get You》的封面中,你身处一个透明的方块中,可以分享这个意象的内涵吗?
Allie X:正如之前提到的,“玛丽”在立方体中处于另一个时空,也就是过去;而立方体之外的观察者,看到的是身处当下的她。
Same meaning as above. The Infant Marie exists in a different time inside the cube (in the past). Whereas observers from the outside of the cube see her in a modern time.
UPEE:你的音乐中经常有以“人名”进行命名的曲目,例如《Galina》以及这次的《Uncle Lenny》,这些名字的来源是随机的,还是确实存在于你身边?
Allie X:有真实的,也有写意化的——这些名字要么代表某个真实的人,要么是融合了几个人的形象,而这些人曾带给我足够强烈的情绪,让我有了创作歌曲的灵感。
Some real, some poetic in that the represent a real person or perhaps a combination of people that gave me enough emotion to write a song.
UPEE:很多乐迷认为 Allie X 的歌词文本很独特,我们好奇在你创作的过程中,通常是先有旋律再填词,还是先有了文本上的想法再进行旋律创作?可以分享你通常创作一首曲目的过程是什么样的吗?
Allie X:感谢你的夸奖。我其实很少从歌词开始创作,更多时候会先有一个歌名或是核心概念。比如《Galina》,这个创作概念在我的笔记里存了好几年。某天晚上我编了一段节奏,将其和这个概念结合,这也为我的歌词创作指明了清晰的方向。
Thank you that’s very nice of you. I actually rarely start with lyrics. More often I might start with a title or a concept. Galina Wake Up for instance, was a concept that lived in my notes for a few years. I made a beat one night and then matched it to that concept and that gave me a strong direction for the lyrics.
UPEE:也有乐迷评论说《Happiness Is Going to Get You》有一种“姬味”,同时你的音乐在中国乐迷之间也非常受酷儿群体欢迎。我们好奇你会如何看待这种在创作上以及受众上的“酷儿性”?
Allie X:我深爱酷儿群体,也对酷儿社群充满感激。
I love the queers. I am so thankful to the queer community.
UPEE:在你最近的三张专辑《Happiness Is Going to Get You》《Girl With No Face》《Cape God》中,你认为哪首歌最能代表你最近几年的心态?
Allie X:说实话,其实每一首都可以。这些歌真切地代表了我人生中不同的情绪和阶段,而我通过把它们写成歌,完成了对这些情绪的梳理。这也是创作本身给我的馈赠。
Hmm all of them honestly. They really represent different emotions and times in my life that I was able to process by turning them into songs. That is the gift of getting to write music.
UPEE:你的 Allie X Top5 会是哪五首歌?
Allie X:也许《Bitch》《Fresh Laundry》《Black Eye》《Susie Save Your Live》《Happiness Is Going to Get You》?哈哈。
UPEE:我们好奇你现在的创作状态,在之后的发行里还有什么是你要尝试或拓展的吗?无论是风格上的或议题上的?
Allie X:我正在重新回归哥特、电子和后朋克的音乐氛围,也正感受一种女性力量与母系精神的内核。
I’m very much settling back into goth, electronic and post punk vibes. I am feeling a feminine and matriarchal energy.
UPEE:对于马上启程的中国巡演有什么期待?
Allie X:对首次来到中国以及见到我的乐迷非常期待 :)
Seeing China for the first time and meeting my fans :)
UPEE:可以分享此时此刻最想吃到的食物吗?
Allie X:手工酸奶,一直都爱浓稠的手工山羊酸奶。
Homemade yoghurt. Always thick homemade goat yoghurt.
