Following the announcement of her now sold out 2022 European tour, today, Norwegian sensation girl in red shares You Stupid Bitch. The new track will feature on her highly anticipated debut album if I could make it go quiet available Friday 30 April via AWAL. The latest offering provides another glance into a record packed with incredible musicianship, imprinted with her unrelenting trademark energy.
You Stupid Bitch was inspired by complicated friendship that singer-songwriter-producer Marie Ulven wished could have been something more. The freshly announced Forbes 30 Under 30 in Europe star spoke about her new song. “There’s this line from this movie I love, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, that goes ‘we accept the love we think we deserve.’ It’s a very heartbreaking line, but it’s really what I was experiencing in this situation, where I was always there for this person who would get their heart broken, and I would just come running. I would drop everything just to be there for them. That person would never see me as anything else than just a friend, even though I feel like I could’ve made her so happy… The core essence of this track is like, I’m obviously here for you, and I want to be with you, but you keep messing around with other people, and you keep getting broken. It’s this really direct, straightforward track.”
Looking ahead to her album’s release in just a few weeks, Marie said: “if i could make it go quiet is an attempt to learn what it’s like to be human; to deal with the scariest parts of myself; to live with the pain of knowing i’m only flesh and bones; to be angry, broken and unforgiving yet still able to wear my heart on my sleeve; i’m shedding light on the darkest parts of my mind and i’m letting everyone in; if i could make it go quiet is me simply trying to understand what the fuck is going on.”
For Ulven’s army of fans (two million Instagram & three million Spotify followers and counting), the album heralds the beginning of an imperial phase that girl in red has been steering towards since crashing into The New York Times’ top 10 tracks of the year with breakthrough single i wanna be your girlfriend in 2018. Since then, the 22-year-old singer has racked up more than a billion streams across a burgeoning and expanding catalogue of unapologetic indie pop anthems, hailed as an inspiring icon for a new generation of young listeners and beyond.
Now, with the dawn of if i could make it all go quiet, girl in red is set to cement her place as one of alternative pop’s breakthrough voices: someone able to articulate the experience of modern youth in all its contradictions, and yet resonate with listeners across the age, gender and background spectrums too.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
