“I’ve been going through so many different emotional changes within relationships, whether it’s my friends, or how I treat people, and how I am as a person,” she explains over Zoom from Norway of the “emotional recap” If I Could Make It Go Quiet purveys. (“I hate the way my brain is wired…” she admits on the thumping, choral “Rue.” “I try to get it off my mind, to leave it all behind, don’t wanna make it worse.”) The project’s release date was delayed during the beginnings of the COVID-19 pandemic, which gave Ulven the chance to dive even deeper to unpack her feelings regarding solitude (the ironically spacious “Apartment 402”), physical love (the painfully honest “Hornylovesickmess”), and mental self-awareness (“Serotonin”). Produced by herself and Matias Telléz, the LP largely confronts the “mean voices” in her head, while also attempting to accept the ebbs and flows of her maturing mind, body, and soul. The 22-year-old indie rock/lo-fi pop artist has been open about her life with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and brought her experiences with life, love, and growing up to the forefront for her forthcoming debut album, If I Could Make It Go Quiet, out today (April 30). “I get intrusive thoughts like cutting my hands off, like jumping in front of a bus,” Girl In Red - the musical project of Norwegian singer-songwriter Marie Ulven - sings in her latest single, the Finneas O’Connell-produced “Serotonin.” She adds, “I’m running low on serotonin, chemical imbalance got me twisting things, stabilize with medicine, but there’s no depth to these feelings.” Inclusion in this category is the highest distinction we can bestow, and signals the most important music being released throughout the year.
