girl in red, Midnight Love
world in red
girl in red is going beyond bedroom pop with her latest release, Midnight Love. Norwegian singer/songwriter/producer Marie Ulven, the creator behind girl in red, has won hearts the world over with her soft love songs and glowingly warm odes to queer romance, and Midnight Love sees her opening the door to a sound too big to fit in just a bedroom.
Midnight Love is a gently insistent reverie that’s as alluring as it is relaxing. Ulven’s voice flows over the instrumental, seemingly soothing the pulsing guitars and driving rhythms, smoothing them into dark loops and echoes, blooming expansively out of the bedroom she writes and produces all her music in. Her musical landscape and subtly impassioned delivery twist together to create a sound that’s simultaneously massive and could fit in the palm of your hand. It’s a sound bigger than we’ve ever heard from her yet, and seems in no danger of slowing down.
It’s dreamy, deliciously magnetic, and effortlessly cool. Ulven’s assembling building blocks of invitingly gravelly vocals, dark-pop at its best, and a fanbase who can’t get enough of her, and Midnight Love sees her set to climb into indie-pop iconhood.
Midnight Love is out now.
