Norwegian pop artist MARI makes her debut with between the lines, a seven-track EP that reads like a diary set to a contemporary pop soundscape.
It’s a record that doesn’t shy away from intimacy, tracing her journey from teenage heartbreak to artistic rebirth with a fearless honesty that demands attention.
The opening tracks plunge listeners into confusion and loss, capturing the disorientation of young love gone wrong. MARI’s vocals are delicate yet striking, carrying the weight of emotions many artists shy away from revealing. By the time the EP reaches goddess, there’s a palpable sense of triumph and empowerment.
Produced mainly by her brother and co-written with Kristine Willassen, the EP balances vulnerability with polished, modern production. The collaboration allowed MARI to own her narrative fully, something she emphasizes as central to this release: “Before, I often told my story to other songwriters. This time I wrote it myself — and you can hear that.”
between the lines is more than a pop record; it’s a declaration of self-respect and artistic courage. For listeners, it’s a reminder that the most personal stories often resonate most universally—a powerful introduction for an artist who’s clearly here to stay.
