MARI 'between the lines' - A Refreshingly Candid EP

between the lines, the debut EP from Norwegian pop singer MARI, is a study in emotional honesty.

Across seven tracks, MARI confronts the turbulence of her teenage years, from heartbreak and self-doubt to resilience and self-empowerment. The EP’s narrative arc feels deliberate, unfolding like a journal with each song offering a new chapter.

MARI’s songwriting is refreshingly candid. Tracks such as see you go and last talk reveal raw, unfiltered emotion, while moments like goddess channel confidence into anthemic pop. The lyrical transparency is paired with production that walks the line between minimal intimacy and lush modernity, primarily handled by her brother, who nurtured her openness in the studio.

This is a record born from reflection and distance, written over years of processing formative experiences. MARI’s collaboration with Kristine Willassen helped create a space that encouraged vulnerability, ensuring that the emotional core of the EP remained intact without compromise.

between the lines doesn’t just tell MARI’s story—it invites listeners to confront their own experiences of heartbreak and growth. Its blend of emotional depth and contemporary pop sensibilities positions her as a compelling new voice in European pop music.
