“I was never allowed to have one when I lived at home, and it’s all I wanted. A mini-fridge acts as an ode to teenage rebellion. The video opens with Ulven in her bedroom, accompanied by her dog and best friend Luna (who starts barking when we mention her name) as well as an unnamed cat who sometimes sneaks into Ulven’s apartment. And who wouldn’t want to see me as a cartoon?” “I was able to use the word ‘illiterate’ in that song, so I should definitely get an award for that. “It’s a really fun, light-hearted video for one of the best songs I’ve ever written,” she says. Girl in red’s bold musical adventure has been captured by artist Eliza Williams in the new illustrated video for fiery breakup rager Did You Come?, a collaboration that celebrates Spotify’s Our Generation playlist. But Ulven’s lyricism hasn’t lost its sense of raw intimacy. In the studio, it’s about how I can make this the best song possible, regardless of genre or sound,” she says. Moving away from those early bedroom recordings, the girl in red sound now is “superstar pop. But her biggest fear? “I don’t want to peak yet.” Later this month, she headlines the Festival Republic Stage at Reading and Leeds Festivals, offering a less grumpy alternative to Liam Gallagher. That’s when I started to want world domination”.ĭebut girl in red album, If I Could Make It Go Quiet, arrived early in 2021, helping her earn a support slot at one of Billie Eilish’s gigs at London’s The 02 arena, and to top it all, she’s also been trading DMs with her favourite artist of all time, Taylor Swift, who “really, really loved the record”. “I began to notice that the sky was the limit.
I hated myself way too much to think that anyone could ever care about anything I’ve ever done,” but her confidence has surged thanks to her success.
“I was really surprised it meant anything to anyone because for ages, I just didn’t think I had a place in the music world.
“People are really devoted to my music,” she says of the huge fanbase she’s built.
