Girl in Red has just dropped her latest track, titled "Too Much". The accompanying video portrays a couple ensnared in a silent conflict, one desperately seeking attention from the other but failing to garner it, leading them to feel overwhelmed by their own presence.

The song carries a powerful emotional weight, presenting what would typically be seen as a pop anthem in a slightly different melodic universe. The subtle synths in the background add depth and melancholy, giving the track an authentic feel.

Girl in Red, helmed by Norwegian musician Marie Ulven, is gearing up for her second album, "I'm Doing It Again Baby!", set to release on April 12 via Columbia. Following her previous album release in 2021, her consistent output is commendable, with one album every three years—a pace that allows for genuine artistic expression.

The track's authenticity shines through, blending heartfelt sincerity with undeniable pop appeal. Directed by Fiona Jane Burgess, known for her work with artists like Christina Aguilera, the music video is a testament to the track's quality craftsmanship.

With writing and production credits shared between Matias Tellez and Marie Ulven, the collaborative effort adds a special touch to the track. 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, offering listeners 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!
