Girl in red, the moniker of Norwegian singer-songwriter Marie Ulven, crafts diaristic indie pop that evolved from lo-fi bedroom confessions to bold alt-pop anthems.

Born in 1999 and rising via SoundCloud tracks like "i wanna be your girlfriend," her raw odes to queer yearning, mental health struggles, and self-sabotaging romance struck a chord with Gen Z's Tumblr and TikTok crowds. Shaped by FINNEAS's glitchy maximalism, Sabrina Carpenter's cheeky hooks, Billie Eilish's whispery introspection, and touches from Taylor Swift, Aaron Dessner, First Aid Kit, Charli xcx, DiY, and Tove Lo, Ulven blends punky distortion, shimmering guitars, and cathartic choruses. EPs Chapter 1 and 2 (2018-19) captured horny, lovesick isolation; her AWAL debut If I Could Make It Go Quiet (2021) exploded with "Serotonin," earning Spellemann prizes. Columbia's I'm Doing It Again Baby! (2024) amps the chaos with banjos and swagger, cementing her as a queer icon who owns her messiness with fierce, unfiltered candor.
