Alika Unveils Her New EP ‘Candy Coated Pain’

Alika has dropped her new three-track EP, Candy Coated Pain, offering a glimpse into her unique sound and honest storytelling.

The EP opens with Liquorice, a track that blends playful sweetness with a hint of edge. The melodies are rich and textured, while the lyrics capture the push and pull of desire and heartache.

Next is Dot It Again, a rhythmic and introspective track. Alika balances catchy hooks with storytelling, creating a song that lingers long after it finishes.

Closing the EP is What I Do, a confessional and defiant track. Her vocals are expressive, supported by layered instrumentation that makes the song feel personal and relatable.

Alika is also one of our Artists to Watch in 2026, and this EP is a perfect introduction to why. Candy Coated Pain shows her ability to combine honesty with contemporary sound. Each track works on its own but together they form a small but strong narrative about love, resilience and self-discovery.

The EP is a brief but captivating listen for anyone interested in music that is both catchy and emotionally resonant.
