挪威新生代歌手Girl In Red发布全新单曲《Midnight Love》，一首关于梦幻和欲望的钢琴故事，也是Girl In Red迄今为止最为亲密和真诚的创作。
Girl In Red has shared a taster of her hotly-anticipated debut album with new single ‘Midnight Love’, which marks “the start of a new phase”.
The rising Norwegian singer-songwriter (real name Marie Ulven) has declared this year as hers to carry out what she calls ‘World In Red’ – a quest for global domination. To start, she has shared the tender and cinematic new track ‘Midnight Love’.
“This song is about me making someone feel really small,” Ulven said. “I have a really close friend that’s had this dude calling and texting her all the time, every night. At 3am, he’s like, ‘Are you awake?’ He’s not necessarily using her intentionally, but it’s become this relationship where he’s kinda calling her to get laid. That reminded me of something that I was doing to this girl.
“When I was on tour I would just call her every night. It was a very unhealthy thing for me to do to someone – to make them feel like they weren’t worth that much. It’s just me reflecting on how I made this person feel.”
Ulven continued: “I met up with her a couple of weeks ago after I sent the song. She wanted to meet up because she was like, ‘Wait – did I make you feel like this? What’s going on?’ But then I explained that I was actually writing it from her perspective.”
With ‘Midnight Love’ as her latest song complete this year and “very much a signpost of how she feels right now”, Ulven is ploughing ahead with completing her first album.
“I worked on a couple more ideas after ‘Midnight Love’ and I’m getting more of a direction for the whole record,” she said. “The album is still cooking and I want to be sure that I put the best stuff on there. I want it feel present and close to me. I’ve got plenty of bangers that are still on the table.
“Coronavirus ain’t gonna stop World In Red, baby! I’ve got some pretty dope-ass plans for the winter. I’m gonna be fucking mad if they don’t happen.”

Why after all these pain
I can’t seem to get away
It’s making me insane
Why girl your tears rain
But you never wanna look back
the love that we make
I cannot sleep , when I’m alone
How can you sleep , when you’re alone
Imma get a new one
Imma get a new one
know It’s hard to forget
But all the memories we had
is fxxking making me dead
Imma get a new one
Imma get a new one
What can I do just to get
Your shit out of my head
I’ll do whatever it takes
Cause I can’t see your face

自帶星光的詩與歌少年 曖曖中透出純粹的光
許含光 Lumi，人如其名。第一眼見到他時，總讓人感覺是個自帶光芒的少年。而他身上的光，不是耀眼的陽光，也非冷冽的月光，更像閃爍飄忽的星光，有一種藏於其中的神秘力量。就像他的音樂與詩作，不愛清楚指涉，但在曖昧的文字與音符之間，總能解讀出片段的訊息，拼湊成你與他之間的連結與故事，隱隱看見彼方透出曖曖的光亮。
《曖曖》專輯，記錄了許含光18歲至今的創作歷程。一個人包辦詞、曲、編曲、製作，大量採用70至90年代的音樂元素，以迷離的唱腔、明亮的吉他聲響為主體，揉合了熱愛的英搖、電子、民謠，再加上R&B、抒情搖滾，成就一種自己也難以定義的風格。
專輯中每一首歌，各自散發了獨特的顏色與光芒，就像一顆顆的星星，散落在空中各自閃耀，但同時，卻能任你連結、解讀成你想像的形狀，將他的音符，編織成你的故事。
專輯概念主打：藍色房間
☆ 專輯中大部分的歌曲，都是在一個頂樓加蓋的小房間裡面完成。剛搬進去時，一時興起就跟朋友約了，把牆壁漆成藍色。後來，這個《藍色房間》成了創作的起點，也是每個故事交會的地方。
☆ 《藍色房間》所寫的，是物理上的藍色房間，和心理上的藍色房間的互動關係。那個已經錯過的人，有天突然回到我們相處過的城市。雖然她從沒有來過我每天夢醒的藍色房間，但她的身影卻一直在這藍色房間裡出現。
推薦主打：讓
☆ 《讓》原先是 Lumi 之前的一首詩作《非鹿》改作。文字是影，音樂是光，光照在身上讓影子浮現，兩者互補，缺一不可。但《讓》更著重於文字，放大詩的成分。在《讓》的歌詞裡面，把鹿的形象拿掉，僅僅保留以鹿為對象的獨白。而鹿的概念，就是純粹。
推薦主打：睡眠的航線
☆ 《睡眠的航線》寫的是無盡的放縱與有意識的揮霍時間的頹廢美學，透過慾望的解放才能達到救贖，如歌詞裡第一句：「我是那一秒鐘意外誕生的英雄。」
