Don't say I didn't tell you. Norwegian firebrand Ida Maria is finally coming back to NYC for two shows, her first since knocking me for a loop when she played CMJ 2007. In the meantime, Ida released her debut, Fortress Around My Heart, which took me a while to warm up to after falling for her demos, and the UK press has become smitten with her. Basically, I think anyone that sees her live becomes smitten. Here's what I wrote back then:
Diminuitive, and dressed in a mint green school marm top, a dark teal leather skirt, purple tights and bright blue boots she looked pixie. But when she strapped on the guitar and opened her mouth, she transformed into a whirling, wailing little powerhouse… pouring every ounce of energy and emotion into her songs to the point where she seemed lost in them some of the time. Mikes were knocked over, drums stumbled into and more than once she dropped to the floor onto her back where she continued to sing and play guitar.
15 Minute Manifestation Review
It was around five years prior when I had a fantasy and in it the Lord said to me, don't state cash cometh rather say, cash cometh to me since cash can come yet not to me so from that point forward I have talked intermittently cash come to me in extensive sums from the north, south, east and the west and each territory in the middle of and from above and from underneath.
I realize that my life has improved just by coming back to myself for instance, each year day I would go to my mom's home and eat two or three spoons of bruised eye peas, I said two or three spoons since I don't care for bruised eye peas however I would eat it in light of her yet the motivation behind why she ate it is a result of a superstition that she and numerous others accepted. Many surmise that it is misfortune to not eat bruised eye peas on the main day of the year. I realize that superstitions are not of God but rather I endured that specific one for a considerable length of time on account of my mom however this year I went poorly to her home, rather I called her and wished her an upbeat new year and a glad birthday.
