Norwegian punk-rock powerhouse Ida Maria returns with new single ‘Lazy’, a song that’s described as anything but; with sass turned up to 11, and a well-aimed dose of female rage.
A massive rock song, wrapped in electrifying fuzz, an angelic male choir, and fat riffs — all served on a bed of questionable moral choices and an unwavering focus on the immediate present, like all of Ida Maria’s songs, ‘Lazy’ has layers, and though it may come across as a punk party banger at first listen – it’s also a song about confronting your inner demons.
It’s hard work to take on the full responsibility for your actions and your life; everyone has moments where they’d rather just live in the moment with no regard for the consequences their choices have on others. Why work when you can party, why build when it’s so much easier to tear things apart?
Ida Maria grew up in the small town of Nesna in the far north of Norway. 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 new full-length album is due in fall 2025, and 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.
