Ladifa is an alternative pop songwriter in the purest sense. Raised on the daydreams of the Sundays and the smoke of Shania, that she’s signed to Accidental Popstar — a label which eschews genre conventions, as its led by the patron saint of stylistic polymaths, Shamir — is a natural fit for all parties, and furthers that on her latest single, “coping mechanisms”. The resonance of the listen is unassuming at first. It’s shaped around a simple framework of saccharine guitar-pop, yet as Ladifa’s mind overindulges itself with verbose, stream-of-conscious, anxiety-swelling thoughts, that plush electric blanket of strum her words tumble over offers up a cozy place to get lost in her thoughts with.

Ladifa’s “coping mechanisms” single is available now Accidental Popstar Records.
