Following that run of stadium shows, Girl In Red has also been tearing up a string of European festivals, now genuinely comfortable onstage, with footage of the friendly moshpits going viral on TikTok. "Part of my spiel is, 'You guys seem like you don't know each other, so let's get to know each other'," says Marie, grinning at the thought of it. "I know it seems cool to have no emotions and be unaffected by everything, but it's not cool being too cool to have fun."

Girl In Red has been working on album two since last October, in-between live shows, but after today's gig in London, there's just one more in her diary for 2023, freeing her up to tie a bow around the new record. "I have all the songs; I just need to finish some of the lyrics and make it sound good. The vibe is developed Girl In Red," Marie starts.

Chasing music that feels inspiring, Girl In Red constantly wants to make something new. "The best part of making music is when you get an amazing idea that you get excited by."

Lyrically, Girl In Red's second album is also different to what's come before. "The first one was written when I was in a bad place. After I released it, I was completely empty, and I didn't have anything left to give," she explains, but eventually, Marie started a new relationship, made a bunch of new friends, and really lived her life for a bit. She found herself asking, "How do I write from this good place?" and saw herself reflected in the journey Billie Eilish went on between 'When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?' and 'Happier Than Ever'.

"I definitely feel like this new album is a lot more optimistic, but I obviously have some sad love bangers because love is always going to be a part of it; I've been on a journey of feeling really shitty and having really low self-esteem, but I'm in my positive era now," she continues, wanting this record to make others feel better about themselves.
