***Super Sunset*** is the fourth [extended play](/source/Extended_play) (EP) by Canadian singer and songwriter Alexandra Hughes, known professionally as [Allie X](/source/Allie_X). It was released on October 29, 2018, by Twin Music.[2] The EP follows the release of her debut studio album *[CollXtion II](/source/CollXtion_II)* (2017), and was inspired by Hughes' tumultuous experiences since moving to [Los Angeles](/source/Los_Angeles).[3] The concept was illustrated by three archetypes: "Sci-Fi Girl", the "Hollywood Starlet", and the "Nun".[4]

## Singles

All of the tracks featured on *Super Sunset*, except for the intro and interlude, were released as singles; Hughes explained that she "felt a very close connection to each song" and wanted them "to have their own moments."[4]

## Critical reception

Julian Baldsing of *[The Line of Best Fit](/source/The_Line_of_Best_Fit)* praised Hughes' songwriting and vocals, and said "*Super Sunset* excels by proving that regardless of how much of Allie X the human is revealed, there’s so much more to the artist that has yet to be discovered.".[5]

The EP was included on *[GQ](/source/GQ_(magazine))**s list of the best albums of 2018,*****[Idolator](/source/Idolator_(website))**s list of the best EPs of 2018 at number 5, and *[Paper](/source/Paper_(magazine))* listed it as the 18th best album of 2018.[6][1][7]
