Girl In Red has teased an upcoming track that she has deemed the “song of the summer”, adding “2024 baby!”The singer – real name Marie Ulven – took to her official Instagram page today, January 4, to share a video clip of her on a set dancing around to a new unreleased song with the words “Woow did I just make the song of the summer, I think so” appearing on the screen.“You think I’m weird when I get too excited / I think it’s weird how you’re so empty-minded / yeah, you’ve been dragging me down all of these years / with your coolness and I don’t care” she sings along to a bright and bouncy pop beat.

The video’s caption read: “2024 baby!”A post shared by girl in red (@girlinred)Girl In Red’s last release was her single ‘October Passed Me By‘ which was produced by The National‘s Aaron Dessner.

The track served as the long-awaited sequel to 2018 single ‘We Fell In Love In October’, and follows the singer’s 2021 debut album, ‘If I Could Make It Go Quiet’.In a four-star review of her LP, NME wrote: “A cinematic widening of scope, ’If I Could Make It Go Quiet’ occasionally leans back on some blockbuster tropes, but in the stand-out moments Ulven proves that she’s more than capable of rabble-rousing indie-rock and slow-burning yearning alike.”Speaking to NME back in April 2021, she shared how she had already been “working on new sounds” and was “low-key bored of singles”, hell-bent on having another full record to drop soon.While performing at Reading & Leeds that same year, She told NME: “I’m working on those sounds still.

I still don’t think singles are that interesting. I honestly don’t even know at this point. Whatever comes to mind, happens.
