Norwegian pop sensation Mathea-Mari is making her return, and now, with "Tired of Fixing a Broken Heart," she features a heart-on-sleeve anthem that's both intimate and universal. Aged just 24, the transition of Mathea-Mari from child prodigy Norwegian Got Talent finalist at 12 and Junior Eurovision winner at 14 to mature artist whose voice suggests a wisdom far over her years is nothing short of remarkable. This song marks her triumphant return, demonstrating that she's ready to establish herself in the pop vanguard.
"Tired of Fixing a Broken Heart" is a fantastically accomplished tune produced with some heavy hitters in the music business. The words, written by the talented Christian Burns (who has worked with BBMak, Tiësto, and Paul Oakenfold), describe an emotional vulnerability that reveals just how raw and honest this cross-cut pop catharsis is. The composer Matt Alvers, who has collaborated with Creed and Taylor Swift, wrote the music, which serves as a slickly evocative backdrop. Producer Chris Gill (Shinedown, Lady A) covers everything with professional polish, and the mastering work of 10x GRAMMY® AWARD WINNER Ted Jensen of Sterling Sound makes sure those notes ring through pristine and powerful.
But the real highlight of this song is Mathea-Mari's vocal performance. There's a sleepiness and vulnerability to her voice here, a poignant reflection of the toll trying to heal a broken heart can take over and over again. But the production offsets this vulnerability with a bright, glistening sound that elevates the song from a ballad to a modern pop classic. In addition to "Tired of Fixing a Broken Heart," Mathea-Mari also reimagines "Crush," originally a Rick Beato production from 2003 for a rock band, transforming the track into a palatable, summer-ready pop ditty. Together, the two songs are a reminder of her range and adaptability as a narrator.
Mathea-Mari's authentic voice and truthful songwriting should be heard and shared far beyond. "Tired of Fixing a Broken Heart" is an invitation to feel, then heal, and then elevate into the rhythm of resilience, as manifested through music. Put her on your playlist and witness the start of what is set to be a thrilling new chapter in pop music.
