Ida Maria - 'Drive Away My Heart'

Ida Maria's recent tour alongside relative newcomers to the indie pop circuit Goodshoes has proved hugely profitable for the band. With lead singer Ida's huge stage presence and exquisite Scandinavian beauty grabbing the attentions of teenage crowds, the press and industry big wigs up and down the length and breath of our fair land hasn't been an issue. 'Drive Away My Heart' - a dark emotional affair in which the Norwegian siren makes reference to what she has quoted as being 'the darkest year of her life' - certainly isn't short of the heart wrenching pain and mental instability she talks about. Ida's trade mark husky tones snap from sweeping romantic story teller to abrasive angst ridden femi rocker with all the uneasy acceleration of her mirroring stage performance.
