Forbes publishes each year a list “30 under 30” list of European stars in the category of entertainment. There, 22-year-old Marie Ulven, better known as Girl in Red, ended up.
The wolf has recently received enormous international attention for his song “serotonin”, which is co-produced by the artist FINNEAS, the brother and producer of Billie Eilish.
The jury points out that Marie Ulven gets a lot of attention for her music about queer love on TikTok, writes 730. Her songs have received so much attention on TikTok that “Do you listen to girl in red?” has become the watchword for “Do you like girls?”.
This year’s jury consists of, among others, Olly Alexander from the band Years & Years and the series «It’s A Sin». Other well-known names on the list are the Dutch YouTube star Nikkie de Jager better known as NikkieTutorials and Emma Corrin, who plays Diana in The Crown.
Dagbladet has contacted Ulven for a comment, but has not received a response.
Tributes: – Hottest in the world
– My biggest song
In March, Ulven released the first single “Serotonin” from his upcoming debut album “if I could make it go quiet”, and the bragging has not been long in coming.
On the same night as the release, the song was declared “the hottest in the world right now” on the program Future Sounds on BBC Radio 1, which is one of the channel’s flagships. The BBC describes the song as a “whimsical and optimistic pop anthem”.
– This is my biggest song ever, Ulven said firmly to the British radio host Annie Mac.
