Meet Marie Ulven, better known by her stage name Girl in Red, the Norwegian music sensation who’s transforming the pop scene from her bedroom in Horten to stages worldwide. With a guitar, a knack for candid lyrics, and a flair for creating relatable tunes, Marie first captured hearts with tracks like “I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend” and “Summer Depression.” Her debut album in 2021, If I Could Make It Go Quiet, not only marked her rise as a global icon but also showcased her deep dives into personal struggles with mental health and her journey of queer self-acceptance.
Fast forward to today, and Marie, now 25, is not slowing down. Her latest endeavor, I’m Doing It Again Baby!, feels like flipping through pages of her personal diary, albeit with more synth-pop zest. This album sees Marie exploring a broader emotional spectrum, celebrating both her peaks and valleys. She tackles her experiences with such openness that even a good day feels like an adventure to another planet. In her track “I’m Back,” she sings about simple achievements like taking a shower with such joy, reminding us that sometimes, it’s the small wins in life that are worth celebrating.
From crafting lo-fi hits in her Scandinavian bedroom to touring with pop megastar Taylor Swift, Marie’s journey is as inspiring as it is melodious. Whether she’s detailing the euphoria of a cheerful day or the depths of darker moments, Girl in Red continues to resonate with fans around the globe, one honest tune at a time.
