Music Monday: Good Red

girl in red herself will admit she just dropped the saddest lesbian song of the summer (not to be confused with the sexiest lesbian song of the summer, thanks Renee). But her new single “Hemingway” is more than just a sad song. It’s a beautiful reminder of the importance of art in our healing process. The Norwegian singer-songwriter has been extremely open about her struggles with addiction, depression and eating disorders in the past year. In fact, we’re lucky she is still with us. But she has taken those personal struggles and turned them into something deeply moving. Art is one of our greatest tools for sharing the human condition. It can make us feel less alone. It can teach us empathy. It can soothe a tattered soul. I’m certainly glad girl in red is still out there making beautiful, sad music for us all. Also, goodness, she’s funny. She’s right, it’s a great time to be a lesbian. Happy weekend, all.

Music Monday: Girl on Fallon

Oh, girl in red. Please continue showing up at national televised performances in your extremely lesbian suits and singing about extremely bad exes. Happy Monday, kittens.

Music Monday: red Christmas

Now that December is here and cuffing season has officially begun, please enjoy this little Christmas wish from girl in red. Yeah, I know that other queer genius supergroup is getting all the press. But don’t forget about this girl and all the other girls who want someone to kiss on Christmas Day — even if only in our warmest and most welcome dreams. Happy Monday, kittens.

Music Monday: Long October Edition

I get older, and the girl singers* of sad, sensitive lesbian music just keep getting younger. Can you believe it’s already the end of October? It’s also my birthday week, which is just another reminder of that old ticking clock. Or maybe it’s just the time of year. Like Norwegian queer singer-songwriter Girl in Red, I seem to have a thing about October. Good thing it’s almost over then, I guess. Happy Monday, kittens.

* Except the Indigo Girls. They’re eternal.

Music Monday: Serotonin Edition

Just to prove that Pride lives on in our hearts, here’s some Girl in Red to boost your Serotonin. Happy Monday, kittens.

Girl in (Holiday) Red

According to people younger than me who know things (a.k.a. My Wife, The TikTok Addict), Girl in Red is THE hot queer girl singer of the moment. Admittedly, I haven’t heard more than a few brief swatches of her work. But I’ve enjoyed its lush, dreamy appeal. And this song, come on, this song has to be an instant Lesbian Holiday Classic with all of its moody romanticism. Hope you find someone to kiss, in person or virtually or only in your heart, on Christmas Day. Just bring the misteltoe.
