The debut of Girl in Red In Brazil it is getting closer and closer. She arrives in the country this weekend for a presentation in the Lollapalooza and a festival sideshow accompanied by the band Inhaler.

In an online interview with Rolling Stone Brazilthe singer preferred not to open the camera for the conversation of only ten minutes. However, she described, “I’m in Oslo. I’m drinking a coffee, good.”

The Norwegian should bring a repertoire based on I’m Doing It Again Baby! (2024), in which he abandoned melancholy – recurring in the tracks that raised her to success, such as “I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend” and “Summer Depression” – to “love to be alive”, as sings in the first track of the album.

“I think what changed was that I left a very depressed teenager to suddenly a totally new life, in the sense that I was socializing, making several friends, I got a girlfriend, a dog, an apartment …” Girl in Redwhose real name is Marie Ulven. “So many things were changing, and I had this life I didn’t have before the first album.”

She added, “So, I think this was one of the big changes that prevented me from doing something a little sadder.” Marie He also stated that “ironically”, the tour period with his newest album also corresponds with a time when his “mental health was in a spiral”. Therefore, she believes that future projects should look like “old things.”

In “I’m Back”, the singer says, “I’m back, I feel like myself/I’ve been out for a while because I went to get help/It’s not like I wanted to die/at least not now, I love being alive.” The first stanza of the song portrays a period of the life of Marie where she was “very depressed” and started to therapy. “Going away from tours, taking this break, was very important for my mental health,” he confessed.

“I left for a minute because I went to get help. I was too far from myself, I lost myself, I think,” he added. “My sense of ‘I’ was very vague. I left metaphorical and literally to recently to recount in my life.”

Girl in Red He returned to the spotlight with both feet at the door. It included Sabrina Carpenter in I’m Doing It Again Baby! – Reinforcing signs of your POP affection. Twice winner of the Grammy, Carpenter appears in the track “You Need Me Now?”, in which Marie And they form a “fun contrast” with their voices and musical worlds of distinct characteristics.

“Some people find it well, others find it fun. I think it is just ironic and with a touch of joke I like,” he said. On the other hand, the artist demonstrated a darker and more committed facet in the single “Confessions”, released in February this year.

Marie It also revealed that it already has names in mind for possible partnerships in new compositions: “I worked with Aaron Desner Before, but I would like to work with him again. I miss going out with him, so I want to see him again. And I also think it would be really cool to work with Lord“.

Despite Lord Not launching news for almost four years – although mysterious publications from time to time – a partnership would not be to dream loudly. In 2023, Girl in Red opened shows from Taylor Swift in THE ERAS TOURwhich guaranteed more scope and valuable lessons.

“I learned a lot in THE ERAS TOUR. For sure! The work ethics of Taylor It marked me a lot, because it was so good, “he explained.” And she was working so hard, tirelessly, all the time. She did the best shows even when she could be tired or lived a bad day. “

Marie He continued: “I made a kind of promise to 2024 that I would not cancel a show. I tried, but unfortunately, there was cancellations out of my control. Other than that, I did all the shows I committed.”

Even if the union with Swift It seems an obvious push for Girl in Red Embark on the pop universe, the author of “Midnight Love” assured that she always “loved” the genre. “And I think there was always a pop level in my music,” he argued. Furthermore, Marie stated that his album “was ready when it was on tour with” Swift – “but Taylor It has always been a great inspiration. “

As my musical skills and production were not up to my pop, so everything sounded a little faster and less polished, I think. For a while, I was doing very heavy pop music, as if I was leaning for it. Now I’m kind of discovering a new sound that I want to follow, because I really don’t know what interests me now, I need to find out.

The shows of Girl in Red In Brazil, scheduled for March 27 and 28, in São Paulo, “they should have happened a long time ago,” said the singer, who associated the delay of her visit to the Covid-19 pandemic.

“I hope people can see the best show of their lives, that put the batter upstairs,” he joked Marie. “I don’t know … I just hope they have fun, that they are significant nights, both in Lollapalooza how much in sideshow. I look forward to having a beer, coffee, dinner and feeling Brazilian energy. “
