Ok, I can no longer deny the fact that I couldn't wait for the US release of Ida Maria's newest album, Katla... I had heard a lot of the tracks on her Myspace and on youtube a while back, and I just had to download it (Ida I promise I will buy it when it's released). Honestly though I have no regrets because the entire album is jaw-droppingly good. I thought her debut album, Fortress 'round My Heart, was amazing, but this shit is unbelievable. I've always seen her as one of the most unabashed young musicians of her generation (re: her dress falling off at Coachella...), and this album proves that. Songs like "I Eat Boys Like You For Breakfast", "Cherry Red", and "Let's Leave" show off her endearingly vulgar and raw sense of humor, while songs like "Quite Nice People" and "10,000 Lovers" seem to speak the words that everyone thinks, but doesn't want to say. My favorite though, "Bad Karma", really resonates with me lyrically, and is so wild and powerful it makes you want to.... scream and kick stuff? Any song that's an excuse to make a scene is good in my book. She is amazing, and I am so happy that Katla came out as well as it did. PLEASE don't do what I did; wait for the album to be released on iTunes and download it there :). But for now, listen to some of her best new tracks below.
