So what if it’s only Tuesday! This song won’t be beat! It’s been steadily working its way into my brain for the better part of two weeks to the point where I’m listening to it four or five times a day on repeat. It’s such a perfect little “indie” song with the exception that Norwegian-born / Swedish-based Ida Maria sings with more fervour and soul than your average indie boy frontman, starting with such impetuosity that by the end she’s snarling/howling the chorus at us. The distinctly Scandanavian backing vocals of Johannes Lindberg are a nice touch too.
