A Billion Years Too Soon

In February 2024, she released the highly anticipated debut album A Billion Years Too Soon. Dagsavisen named the album: "One of the best Norwegian albums of 2024" Through the album's nine tracks, listeners are invited into Marie's unique musical universe where she seamlessly weaves her cultural heritage with modern, electronic music. The album was written and produced in collaboration with Martin Vinje, known for his work with Sigrid and Neon Ion. Together, they have created a unique musical universe of melancholy, traditional instruments, beautiful melodies, and atmospheric synths firmly rooted in a danceable club landscape. The personal lyrics in both English and Azerbaijani, spoken in Northern Iran, tell the story of Marie's roots, the loss of her father three years prior, and the ups and downs of life. "With A Billion Years Too Soon Marie Sahba has created one of the best pop albums of the spring, a complex and at times thrilling, captivatingly dark interweaving of memories and emotions. [...] An absolutely delightful album that will find its audience both in solitude and at concerts and club floors." - Dagsavisen
