Norwegian pop singer Mathea-Mari shows that some voices don't stray too far from the spotlight at age 24; she certainly hasn't as they mature and grow more soulful. With her heart-wrenching single, "Tired of Fixing a Broken Heart," Mathea-Mari takes her next step, showcasing brave exposure and incredible control in her vocals. A finalist on Norway's Got Talent at the age of 12 and winner of Eurovision Junior when she was 14, Mathea-Mari's musical heritage is long and lustrous. But "Tired of Fixing a Broken Heart" is poured with intention and heart, playing, as it does, like a diary entry spun into a singalong anthem.
"Tired of Fixing a Broken Heart" showcases raw honesty, thanks to award-winning writer Christian Burns, who has penned songs for artists such as BBMak, Tiësto, and Paul Oakenfold. Burns tells a story that cuts close to the bone about the exhaustion that comes from giving too much, from trying to put yourself back together in the wake of a broken heart once too often. It's a feeling that's achingly relatable, especially when it comes from the mouth of Mathea-Mari: tender, plummy, unmistakably authentic.
Composer Matt Alvers (Creed, Taylor Swift) lays down a soaring melodic backbone, with producer Chris Gill (Shinedown, Lady A) coating it all in a radio-ready sheen. The legendary Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound perfectly masters the final touch so that every mystical nuance hits you right where it should. There's a quiet assurance in her delivery, a poise even when the lyrics are spilling out. It's that mix of power and restraint that lends the song its enduring power.
"Tired of Fixing a Broken Heart" is more than just a pop ballad and a peek at an artist who's lived, learned, and come back stronger. It serves as a reminder that even after the heartbreak, there's beauty in honesty and strength in releasing. With this release, Mathea-Mari isn't just reclaiming her spot in the pop world; she's building a new one from scratch. Suppose this song is anything to go by, we're not just in the drizzle of a comeback. We're witnessing a genuine artist find her way.
