The visibility of successful European artists is seriously lacking in North America, otherwise I would have loved and adored Norwegian rock musician Ida Maria already. Ida Maria has gained considerable success in both her native Norway and the UK, with her first album Fortress Round My Heart landing the #39 spot on the UK Billboard Charts. She first released Fortress Round My Heart in 2008, but re-released the album again in February 2009 with new brand new songs and artwork. She's released quite a few singles of her album including "I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked" and "Oh My God", which both landed in the top 100 songs on the UK Billboard Charts. And because, I seem to keeping with the theme, she is also playing this weekend at Coachella. Ida Maria is also reported to have the neurological phenomenon of synesthesia which, in her case, means she envisions colours when she hears music. Pretty cool, huh?Ida Maria has released over five singles from Fortress Round My Heart, but my favourite has got to be "Stella", which also made it onto the UK Billboard Chart in 2008.
