Mathea-Mari releases "Tired of Fixing a Broken Heart"

Norwegian pop sensation Mathea-Mari is back, and with "Tired of Fixing a Broken Heart," she now has a heart-on-sleeve anthem that feels both intimate and all-encompassing. There is something remarkable in the transformation of Mathea-Mari from a child prodigy, who to a proper artist, her voice a hint of wisdom well beyond her years. She was a finalist on Norwegian Got Talent at the age of 12 and a Junior Eurovision winner at 14. This track signals her triumphant return and indicates that she's poised to reclaim her place in the pop vanguard.

"Tired of Fixing a Broken Heart" is an awe-inspiring track, with some big names behind it! The lyrics, penned by the gifted Christian Burns (who has also written for BBMak, Tiësto, and Paul Oakenfold), convey a very personal vulnerability that reveals just how raw and honest this cross-cut pop catharsis turns out to be. The slickly evocative music is composed by Matt Alvers, who has worked with Creed and Taylor Swift. Producer Chris Gill (Shinedown, Lady A) wraps it all in professional polish, and 10-time GRAMMY® Award winner Ted Jensen of Sterling Sound ensures those notes sing out crystal clear and loud.

But by far the most impressive aspect of this song is the singing of Mathea-Mari. There's a sleepiness, vulnerability to her voice here, a poignant reminder of how exhausting it can be to try and heal a broken heart over and over again. But the glossy production counterbalances that vulnerability with punchy, glistening synths that spacious the song from ballad to ageless modern pop classic. 

Aside from "Tired of Fixing a Broken Heart," Mathea-Mari also takes on "Crush," a previously Rick Beato-produced 2003 rock band track getting the pop treatment to make it the kind of summery pop ditty you can bounce along to. Together, the two songs serve as a reminder of her breadth and adaptability as a narrator. Mathea-Mari has a truly genuine voice and writes such honest songs that need to be heard and shared with the world, far and wide. "Tired of Fixing a Broken Heart" beckons you to feel, then to heal, and then to rise to the rhythm of resilience, which is embodied in music.
