CollXtion II is the upcoming debut studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Allie X, set to be released on 9 June 2017. It is the second record released by Allie X, following the 2015 extended play, CollXtion I.
CollXtion II is the second part of at least five CollXtions, following CollXtion I, each being a unique multimedia experience that will include GIFs, which are featured in her YouTube videos, a comic detailing an abstract autobiography, and song stems to allow fans to make their own creations.
"Hello, this is Allie X and I need your help. There are 10 songs on "CollXtion II", I'm just not sure what they are. I have been writing for the last year trying to figure it out, but I need your help to finish. Follow this CollXtion II: Ʉnsolved playlist [on Spotify], where I will be posting everything I have created - from finished songs, to demos, to voice memos - and expect the unexpected. Stay up with me tonight, and keep me company in this backward paradise."
CollXtion II had been teased by Allie X since the original release of CollXtion I. One of the first statements mentioning the album was made on Twitter, following the release of the song "Never Enough", which fans assumed would be the lead single. On 3 February 2016, the song "Old Habits Die Hard" was released, originally as a non-album single available for free download, but was later included in the album's tracklist, as Allie X had promised to include the song once it hit 1 million plays on Spotify. During a Q/A on social media Tumblr, Allie stated that the overall theme for CollXtion II would be "longing and being lost".
On 13 May 2016, after the release of "Too Much to Dream", Allie X announced the project CollXtion II: Ʉnsolved, which saw her release a collection of demos and songs on Spotify over the course of the summer, in order to shortlist the songs her fans wanted to see on CollXtion II. The songs released through the project were "Too Much to Dream", "Purge", "All the Rage", "Casanova", "That's So Us", "Misbelieving" and "Alexandra". Out of these, only "Casanova" and "That's So Us" were remastered and included in the album's final tracklist. The project officially ended on 6 November 2016.
