Ida Maria

This is old news. Ida Maria came out with her debut album sometime in 2008, but man, it took me until now to really appreciate her. I can't stop listening to her first single "I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked". Her other songs are fantastic too, and although she's not gotten a lot of press here in the U.S., obviously her home country of Norway thinks she's pretty swell too because they gave her the Best New Artist award this year. Congrats, Ida Maria! You deserve it.

You can get a free song by signing up for her mailing list on her website.

Until then, check out a video for her song "Oh My God" here.
