Ida Maria releases new single “More” today via Indie Recordings

“More” is the electrifying first single from Ida Maria’s highly anticipated new album. 
Packed with infectious energy, an irresistible hook, and a rebellious spirit, this track delivers a sharp yet playful take on modern excess. 

In a world driven by gluttony and greed, where mass consumption is not just encouraged but celebrated, “More” serves as both an anthem and a mirror of society’s contradictions. We preach moderation, yet everywhere we turn, we’re sold the idea that having more is better.

But Ida Maria isn’t here to judge, she’s here to tell it like it is.   With its high-voltage sound and thought-provoking lyrics, “More” dares listeners to dance while questioning the forces that shape our desires.

Ida Maria’s new full-length album is due in fall 2025, and it’s a true powerhouse of a record. 
The narrative behind the songs revolves around the Seven Deadly Sins. Through catchy rhythms, sing-along chorus, and sassy yet clever lyrics, Ida Maria delivers a provocative and passionate exploration of sin and the contemporary world we live in.

About Ida Maria

Ida Maria is a Norwegian punk-rock powerhouse celebrated for her electrifying live performances and raw, melodic energy. Drawing inspiration from icons like Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, as well as her contemporaries, Ida Maria‘s music blends a rebellious rock attitude with sharp social commentary.

Ida Maria grew up in the small town of Nesna in the far north of Norway—a town that may seem an unlikely birthplace for a new female international rock star. But talent and willpower know no borders, and in 2008 she crashed onto the international scene with anthems like “I Like You So Much Better When You’re Naked” and “Oh My God” from her debut album, “Fortress Round My Heart” (2008).

Her powerful, raw voice and high-energy live performances led her to perform at major festivals, including Roskilde (Denmark), Reading (UK), and SXSW (US), as well as collaborate with legends like Iggy Pop and earn praise from artists such as Tom Waits. She has released several albums, including Katla (2010) and Scandalize My Name (2016), and her work has been featured in films, TV shows, and commercials- like Grey’s Anatomy, Big Mouth, Skins, Gossip Girl +++, further solidifying her influence in pop culture.

In 2021, she released her “Dirty Money” EP, fortifying her reputation for fearless, unapologetic rock. Her work continues to captivate audiences worldwide, delivering music as bold and authentic as her performances.
