Norwegian sensation girl in red, aka 20-year-old Marie Ulven who boasts a growing global audience of over 3.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify today shares her new song and official video titled Kate’s Not Here.
The track was partly written in Sydney during her Australian live debut last year where she played to a sold-out audience at The Lansdowne as well as performed alongside some of the world’s biggest rising stars including BENEE, Tove Lo and Tones And I at Spotify’s Front Left Live playlist event in Melbourne.
Speaking about how kate’s not here came to be, girl in red explains “”i made this song in the back of my tour bus, a studio in LA and on a bed in sydney. i like that the melody carries the song so much and think it slaps tbh.”
girl in red joins an all-star line-up of contributors who feature on the official soundtrack for the new Floria Sigismondi (The Runaways, Handmaid’s Tale) directed film The Turning, a modern take on Henry James’ The Turn Of The Screw which stars Finn Wolfhard and Mackenzie Davis. The 90’s inspired soundtrack, produced Lawrence Rothman and Yves Rothman includes original songs by Courtney Love, Mitski, Soccer Mommy, Empress Of, Vagabon, Warpaint, Cherry Glazerr, Kali Uchis, Alice Glass, Kim Gordon, The Aubreys and more.
Floria Sigismondi who has directed music videos for the likes of David Bowie and Leonard Cohen also directed the clip for girl in red’s Kate’s Not Here where we see Ulven wander through the dark and eerie world of the set of The Turning.
