Coupdekat says of the track, “soda pop! is a conversation with my anxiety. I have periods of intense overthinking and I battle regularly with my inner monologue. soda pop! personifies these feelings. I was super inspired by the anime ‘Words Bubble Up with Soda Pop’ which follows two teens who have trouble communicating. Instrumentally, Luca Dixon and I took inspiration from The Radio Dept, The Sundays and Kevin Abstract.”

Coupdekat has become an indispensable part of the London scene by forging community and connection previously as a co-founder of LOUD LDN, and now Club Gunk, an inclusive party community and sanctuary showcasing the best underground artists and DJs with a focus on affordability in an increasingly expensive city.

Coupdekat says of the track, “I wrote this track (and the rest of the EP) with Luca Dixon (Lucagotbbm) who I’d admired for a long time for his introspective lyricism and experimental pop sound. cdjs is the first on a journey of self-reflection and coming of age that is the world she created / inside of her pocket*”

Fusing bouncy pop production, sound effects and the playful vocal melodies she’s becoming known for ‘it’s not you!’ is the third single from Coupdekat’s upcoming EP. Laced with lo-fi backing vocals and chanting choruses the young creative solidifies her empowering yet tongue-in-cheek style, as she sings “I can’t decide what I like, but it’s not you”, asserting herself and what she wants.

Talking on the track Coupdekat tells us: “‘It’s not you!’ is an empowering track about acknowledging ones desires and feelings rather than ignoring them. Following on from F.Y.E.O, I speak about sexuality and identity; both topics I’ve struggled with personally. My producer and I, Dom Anca wanted to create an upbeat dance/pop song with introspective lyrics and raw vocals, continuing to create a genre-bending sound. I only recently started working with Dom, but we immediately clicked and bonded over a shared vision of how these new tracks should sound. Unlike songs I’ve written previously, ‘it’s not you!’ is the first demo I wrote and composed on Logic from top to bottom, before bringing it to a producer. Surrounding myself with many talented female producers within the Loud LDN collective has motivated me to grow and develop my skills in the studio.”

Instrumentally combining cyber style synths with breakbeats, ‘BABYTEEF’ takes inspiration from The 1975’s album Give Yourself A Try – a project that Coupdekat sites as ‘the soundtrack to her teenage years’. The second of three singles to come from her upcoming EP, ‘BABYTEEF’s’ bouncy production lays the perfect foundation for Coupdekat’s recognisable honey-eyed vocals as they crescendo into the tracks hook-filled chorus.

Speaking on the track Coupdekat says: “I wrote ‘BABYTEEF’ about growing up too fast and essentially pulling out my baby teeth before they were ready to fall out. Growing up with social media, I felt a huge expectation to look and act older than I was, and I feel like I lost a few of my tween/teen years, forcing adulthood and doing everything too soon. I also took some lyrical inspiration from ‘Babyteeth’, a coming-of-age film about a young girl falling in love with an older drug addict.”
