IDA MARIA – FORTRESS ROUND MY HEART DEBUT ALBUM SET FOR APRIL 14TH RELEASE!

A relentless west coast tour by Norwegian “Punk-Pop Spitfire” Ida Maria (as she was characterized in Rolling Stone magazine’s April 2nd issue), has focused attention on her debut album, FORTRESS ROUND MY HEART and its two interna­tional hit singles “I Like You So Much Better When You’re Naked” and “Oh My God.” The tour will now be extended a week past her date at Coachella Festival next Saturday, April 18th, to make room for appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (April 21st) and Last Call with Carson Daly (May 8th).

Coinciding with Ida Maria’s West Coast stay, a one-week free Discovery Download of “Oh My God” starts April 14th on iTunes, and has been chosen to air on all the Gossip Girl tv promos for this season (which started in February).
