Over the past years Norwegian artist Tuva Hellum Marschhäuser and her alter ego Tuvaband have become regular guests on NOTHING BUT HOPE AND PASSION thanks to beautiful songs like Wolfpack or the dark vibes of her 2019 album I Entered The Void. Now, Tuva is finally back with new material. Growing Pains is another testament of sinister sensuality, a nocturnal dream pop gem that sees the songwriter dealing with the start of this new chapter in her life and career. “It’s about trying to hold onto the past, rejecting change in oneself and your surroundings,” she explains the story of Growing Pains. “The song is about how it can feel to make a new start after a change: when you feel like a stranger to yourself, and you’re suddenly in need of new mental tools, to adapt to your new surroundings and to deal with this unfamiliar situation.” It’s a really satisfying return from Tuvaband and luckily that’s just the start of more to follow. Her third album Growing Pains & Pleasures is set for a release on May 21.
