The Norwegian singer-songwriter/producer – real name Marie Ulven Ringheim – will release her second album, ‘I’m Doing It Again Baby!’, via Columbia on April 12 (pre-order here). The latest single follows on from last release, ‘Too Much’.
Speaking about the new song, Ringheim said: “This is the most fun track I’ve ever made. It was actually very hard to write because I was struggling with allowing myself to make a song that I just thought was fucking sick, cool and fun.
“I tried to force myself to write some sappy-try-hard meaningful lyrics when really all this song was supposed to be, was the soundtrack of feeling absolutely on the top of the world.”

Ringheim’s acclaimed debut record, ‘If I Could Make It Go Quiet’, arrived in 2021. NME gave the collection a four-star review, writing: “A cinematic widening of scope, ‘If I Could Make It Go Quiet’ occasionally leans back on some blockbuster tropes, but in the stand-out moments Ulven proves that she’s more than capable of rabble-rousing indie-rock and slow-burning yearning alike.”
Shortly before its release, Girl In Red told NME that she was already planning her next full-length project. “I just want to sit down and make a new record,” she said. “I think records are pretty hot, man. Records are sexy. Putting out a record is such a big statement nowadays.”
She continued: “You gotta have something that’s worth checking out and I’m lowkey tired of singles. I am lowkey tired of just getting a song here and there.
“I just want to get a body of work from someone. With anything in the Girl In Red project I just want to be thoughtful. With the music, I just want to put out a record because that’s what I want.”
