Ida Maria just revealed her brand new EP, Accidental Happiness [LAVA/Republic Records]. The EP showcases every side of her dynamic songwriting from the swaggering saucy swing of “Boogie With The Devil’s Soul” to the prickly, punk-y pop declaration “I’m Bad News”. Simultaneously, the title track exudes entrancing emotion wrapped up in another unshakable refrain. In late 2012, the artist overcame an overwhelming alcohol addiction, and the music reflects her journey with its striking clarity and realization of true creative fulfillment. Ida Maria has officially returned. She has released two successful full-length efforts out–namely Fortress Round My Heart and Katla–which spawned global hits like “I Like You So Much Better When You’re Naked” and “Bad Karma”. Her music had been placed everywhere from Scream 4 and Teen Wolf to Royal Pains and Gossip Girl.
