Latvian singer and songwriter Marta Grigale, performing under the mononym Marta, has released her latest single in both Latvian as “Bezmiegs” and English as “Sleep Score,” according to reporting by nra.lv. The track marks her first release since her album “Wrong Woman (According to the Rule Book)” and serves as the launch of a new mini-album scheduled for release in the spring of 2027.
Creative Collaboration Behind “Bezmiegs”
The new single was developed in collaboration with British producer, mix, and mastering engineer Kristofers Hariss, alongside Latvian musician and Laika Suns bandleader Arnis Račinskis, who co-wrote the track, according to nra.lv. Račinskis described the studio sessions to nra.lv by stating that he “liked experiencing how Marta gives lightness to slightly provocative ideas—such a cool adult fooling around.” The track leans into a breezy, Western-leaning pop style that the artist has cultivated over recent years, accompanied by an official lyric video designed to highlight the song’s wording.
Exploring the Physics of Infatuation Through Self-Irony
Marta told nra.lv that she views the song as “simultaneously dramatic, frivolous, and quite funny, because that is exactly what a person becomes when they are crazily in love.” The lyrics explore how infatuation alters both body and mind, leaving people unable to eat or think clearly while rendering the negative health effects of sleeplessness completely irrelevant. According to nra.lv, the release directly precedes her upcoming live performances.
Upcoming Spīķeri Concert and Special Guests
Fans can catch Marta live on September 25 during her solo concert at the Spīķeri Concert Hall, where she will perform with a backing band consisting of Kaspars Grigalis, Kristens Kupčs, and Jānis Polis, as reported by nra.lv. The setlist will feature a mix of newer tracks, older compositions, and previously unheard material. The concert will also feature special guest Viktors Buntovskis, an artist for whom Marta has acted as a co-writer on multiple songs, with tickets currently available via the Biļešu Servis platform.
