Girl In Red releases “Too Much”
Girl in Red has just released her latest track, titled "Too Much." The accompanying video tells the story of a couple trapped in a silent conflict, one desperately seeking attention from the other, only to find their efforts unreciprocated, leading to a sense of overwhelming self-presence.
The song carries a profound emotional weight, presenting what might be perceived as a pop anthem in a slightly different melodic universe. The subtle synths in the background add depth and melancholy, contributing to the track's authentic feel.
Under the creative direction of Norwegian musician Marie Ulven, Girl in Red is gearing up for the release of her second album, "I'm Doing It Again Baby!", scheduled to launch on April 12 via Columbia. With her last album released in 2021, her consistent output at a pace of one album every three years allows for genuine artistic expression.
"Too Much" exudes authenticity, seamlessly blending heartfelt sincerity with undeniable pop appeal. The music video, directed by Fiona Jane Burgess (known for her work with artists like Christina Aguilera), stands as a testament to the track's quality craftsmanship.
The collaborative effort of writing and production, shared between Matias Tellez and Marie Ulven, adds a special touch to the song. If the rest of her upcoming album maintains the same spirit as "Too Much," there's much to anticipate in the realm of pop music. In today's diverse music landscape, artists have the freedom to stray from conventions while still retaining their popularity, providing listeners with a refreshing variety of sounds and styles.
So, if you're in the mood for some Norwegian superpop from a seasoned artist's core, don't hesitate to give this track a spin!
I would give this single 2 out of 4 stars and you can listen to it here.
