With the histrionically imaginative lyrics fed through her dreamy pastel-hued vocal lines, the songwriter Ida Fiona burst the bubble gum pop bubble with her single, Anti-Stress, taken from her 6-track EP, I’m Fun. While whataboutisms are explored, Ida Fiona subversively illustrates how easy it is to align our identity to idiosyncrasy and fear.
The Stockholm and Sandnes, Norway-hailing artist has carved out her own glitter-decorated chaotic niche in recent years with her discography which traverses everything from love to mental health to kitchen sink moments. Moving far beyond cliché lyricality and into the realm of intimate self-irony, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more relatable and candid voice on the airwaves. Her candied soundscapes are the cherry on the expressive cake.
Anti-Stress will officially release on March 31; check it out on SoundCloud.
