What’s this? Maria Mena is back with a new single – the first time she’s written a whole song entirely in her native Norwegian. This is ‘Speil’.
What does that mean? ‘Mirror’.
What’s it like? It’s a dreamy pop tune that’s enormously uplifting – not just in its sound, but also via its lyrics as well. The song is about trying to see yourself as your friends see you – a more positive outlook on those days when your self-esteem is low. But there’s of course a lot to be enjoyed from the track even if you don’t understand Norwegian.
Written by? Maria herself, along with Olav Tronsmoen.
More from Maria? Last year she released her ‘They Never Leave Their Wives‘ album.
You can find ‘Speil’ on our Best New Pop playlist.
