Norwegian singer-songwriter Marie Ulven, known as girl in red, presented her latest album I’M DOING IT AGAIN, BABY! (2024) at the iconic Sant Jordi Club in Barcelona. With this concert, the Norwegian artist once again proved why she is one of the most significant and authentic figures in the music industry.
The show kicked off with the track DOING IT AGAIN, BABY, which also gives the album its name. It channels all the energy of the project, turning the opening into a spectacle of dance, euphoria, and red lights. Just like her career, which has only grown since her debut, the pace of the concert continued to build until the very last song.
The artist performed some of her most iconic songs, such as Girls and the beloved We Fell In Love In October, as well as tracks from her latest album that have already become classics, like I’m Back or Too Much. It was hard, however, to gauge which songs were met with the most excitement, as the decibel meter showed that the crowd's cheers never stopped.

The Norwegian artist managed to dance and swing her tie around the stage throughout the hour-and-a-half-long show. As part of her charm and identity, girl in red took several moments to interact with the audience: designing a tattoo for a girl and thanking a fan for a handmade tie that was given to her.
The singer also took a moment to change the tone of the show to a more intimate one, sitting at the piano to perform songs like A A Night To Remember, a track she wrote for her girlfriend, and didn’t hesitate to briefly share the story of their love.
Undoubtedly, the incredible experience of attending a girl in red concert goes hand in hand with the audience that follows her and accompanies her live: a crowd that creates a safe space, a place to enjoy without shame, where there’s room for all orientations and identities.

To close the concert, and in true fashion for such a dynamic and authentic artist, girl in red wrapped up the show with the anthem I I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend. To ensure everyone left the concert feeling warm, she split the crowd in two and walked down the middle aisle, singing just inches away from her fans. This culminated in a massive surge as the crowd rushed to the center, jumping wildly in unison.
After girl in red’s performance, it's clear that her musical formula works, her stage presence is undeniable, and it’s safe to predict that her vibrant and thrilling career is so firmly rooted that it will endure for many years, bringing us more hits and live shows like the one in Barcelona.
