Ida Mae - American Cars

Whether or not it’s your first time discovering their music, it is only a matter of time before you find yourself falling head over heels in love with the electrifying new single American Cars by British duo Ida Mae.

Released on the 6th October 2023, this single is so strong with plenty of energy to fuel the inner rock fan in you with a song that packs a punch. American Cars just radiates sheer quality throughout as husband and wife Chris Turpin and Stephanie Jean Ward give us music which keeps the listener engaged and by the end hungry for more.

So let’s take a look at the song a little closer and highlight just some of the factors which make American Car such a fun track to check out. Firstly you can tell that Chris and Stephanie have not held back, living by the principle of go big or go home, because sonically this song is just so powerfully strong with big sounds, enticing hooks, plenty of rhythm and more to feast on. Then you have the vocals led by Chris which just enhance the narrative behind the lyrics whilst also being perfectly complemented by Stephanie on guitar.

Put everything together and what you have is the ultimate Americana Rock to really shake your world in the best way possible. We are seeing a on going rise of Americana here in the UK over recent years, so to have Ida Mae part of that equation can only be a blessing. Available to listen to now on all major platforms, American Cars is out now.
