Lesbians, assemble: New girl in red is coming soon

Lesbians, sapphics, bisexuals, pansexuals, Zoomers, and people who like good music: consider this a level six orange alert. Girl in Red is about to drop a new single from her upcoming second album, and we can almost feel the life being breathed back into our cold, dead bones.

Marie Ulven Ringheim has been giving us a soundtrack to all our worst decisions since 2020, when her melodic, lofi pop hits started making the rounds on TikTok. By 2021, girl in red was defining sad girl culture with her debut album “If I Could Make It Go Quiet.” It’s been far too long of a wait for Ringheim’s second masterpiece, but it’s looking like 2024 is going to be the year we get another collection of smooth, sad, sapphic bangers to cry to.

Needless to say, the people are ready.

It’s a minor miracle!

Sapphics, get your crying clothes on.

Maybe this year won’t be the trash fire it’s shaping up to be after all!
