Info for More Sauce, Please!
The audaciously funky and multi-talented Danish bassist-singer-songwriter-bandleader Ida Nielsen, a former member of two of Prince's backing bands - New Power Generation and the four-piece rock-edged 3rd Eye Girl - releases her sixth album as a leader overall and fourth since the passing of her former mentor in April 2016.
Playing her signature 4-string Sandberg California electric bass with typical authority while fronting all the vocals and also supplying multiple keyboard parts, Nielsen combines slamming funk beats, slap bass virtuosity, agile rapping, catchy pop hooks and tons of attitude on More Sauce, Please!
From the hard-hitting opener, "Been Trying," featuring slick turntable scratching by Congolese DJ Amazulu Nanga and a burning alto sax solo from her countryman Jakob Elvstr?m, to the orchestral pop rap closer, "Give Me A Bit Of?," More Sauce, Please! throbs with high energy and bristles with stunning musicianship by the multi-talented bandleader.
Added to the potent mix are the adept rapping of Son of Light on the slow-chugging funk of "Bounce Like a Grandma," the playful call-and-response between Ida and Finnish beat boxer/scratch maestro Felix Zenger on the slamming rock-funk number,"Ninja," the infectious '70s flavored "Glorious Disco" and the mondo-slap bass and two-handed tapping showcase, "Slappadibopbop."

Ida Nielsen
got her life turned upside down when music legend Prince discovered her in August 2010. Shortly after she joined his band and started touring with him and “The New Power Generation” and later on the 4 piece power house rock band “3rdeyegirl”.
Ida was part of his bands from 2010 until his untimely passing in April 2016.
She describes playing with Prince as “a huge gift and as the most magical musical journey ever, and an on-going learning experience beyond all imagination.”
After the years with Prince, Ida started to refocus on her solo career.
She has been releasing music on a regular basis and has increased her touring schedules tremendously since 2016. Her music is best described as a mixture of old school funk & hiphop with world music pop ups, ear catching melodies and lots of bass, and she and her band “the Funkbots” are delivering a high energy funk show packed with good vibes, tight grooves and subtle references to her former employer and teacher Prince.
Ida was voted amongst the top 10 bass players in the world (together with fellow bassists Stanley Clarke & Victor Wooten) in the annual Music Radar poll 2019.
