On March 27th, Norway’s undisputed queen of Rock ’n’ Roll is back with “More”—and it’s nothing less than a raw and unapologetic modern rock anthem!
“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.
