Ida Maria is hitting summer full force with the steaming hot single “Lust”.
Like you might expect “Lust” is sexy, delicious, and unapologetically enticing.
With funky bass, slick rhythm guitars, and a groove made to dance on your ex’s memory, this song is pure fire!
Continuing her bold exploration of the Seven Deadly Sins, Ida confronts the sin of lust with the same level of sass and power as we’ve seen in her previous two singles “More” and “Lazy”. This new song explore how amazing it is to be wanted and to experience positive reinforcement on your body or your energy, but it also questions who the real sinner is?
The lusting or the lusted for?
Love the body you’re in, feel good in your skin, and enjoy the fire of long summer nights.
Lust is a celebration of freedom, desire, and turning shame into strength!
