SMALL ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Girl in Red

Written by Ely F. in collaboration with Jazz M. 

Over the course of 2018, a new artist has emerged from the depths of a bedroom pop sea; Girl in Red (or Marie, a 19 year-old from Norway) has amassed over 30k subscribers on YouTube and she’s only getting bigger and better.

Though her identity remains on anonymous side, her lyrics are personal and her sound is breathtakingly unique. Listening to her music almost feels like cracking open someone’s diary and reading what’s inside; she doesn’t hide behind anything when she’s singing.

Girl in Red approaches her songs with a raw honesty. Her simple acceptance of herself, her intents, and the wants she conveys in her lyrics may seem blunt—but the light shed on a teenage girl’s reality is done in an utterly refreshing way that highlights insecurities, relationships, and mental health issues.

The artist has constructed beats that are relatable, but not in a way that’s obvious or obnoxious. Summer Depression, I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend, and Girls are bops that are more on the rough side of pop, with emotion that seeps through clearly and intensely.

It’s no question that in this day and age, Girl in Red is increasing in terms of relevancy, and we can’t wait to see what more she has to share with the world.

WEEKLY REVIEW: Greyhound - Calpurnia

Written by Ely F. in collaboration with Jazz M. 

(watch Greyhound on Youtube)

While the lyrics of Calpurnia’s Greyhound may be on the simpler side, they carry both a heavy weight and a gut-wrenching story.

On the surface, it may seem like another over-hyped teen angst bullshit ballad, but there’s more to it than that. Wolfhard’s melodious heartfelt vocals tell a tale of numbness, confusion, and a desperate desire to forget everything in order to cope with loss.

Greyhound highlights heartbreak—that which comes from grief; having all that leftover love with no place to go. The song carries an underlying sorrow that not only impacts you as you listen, but stays with you, nestled in the back of your mind, and makes you feel something.

The quartet of young musicians (Ayla Tesler-Mabe, Malcom Craig, Finn Wolfhard, and Jack Anderson) are truly playing to their strengths in this one; giving Tesler-Mabe a chance to shred and show off her natural prowess as a lead guitarist, while Craig, Wolfhard, and Anderson create an almost three-dimensional sound on drums, rhythmic guitar, and bass, respectively.

With the riffs, emotions, and ethereal harmonising, Greyhound is truly a song you won’t want to forget (no matter how much pain it brings).
