Discover RED: Inside the Three Albums (so far) by Australian Artist Majelen

Thirty-six original songs (so far). Three albums. One independent artist with plenty to say about love, life and making the most of every moment.

RED is a collection of three albums by Australian singer-songwriter Majelen, bringing together pop-rock songwriting, acoustic guitar, uplifting melodies and heartfelt stories.

Across RED Vol I, RED Vol II and RED Vol III, the collection explores different sides of Majelen's musical world, with songs about relationships, freedom, courage, joy, loss and the experiences that shape everyday life.

For listeners discovering Majelen for the first time, RED offers a great introduction to her sound and songwriting.

RED Vol I: The beginning

RED Vol I introduces the collection with 12 original songs that move between upbeat pop-rock energy and more intimate acoustic songwriting.

The album brings together songs written across different periods and locations, with some recording taking place in Majelen's converted bus studio, as well as at a horse property and on an island off Australia's east coast.

The result is a collection that reflects different experiences, emotions and moments in life.

Tracklist:

  1. Ride

  2. Drum Beat

  3. Day Dreaming

  4. On Our Way

  5. Everything

  6. Chains

  7. Shine

  8. Fly With Me

  9. La La La

  10. Margaritas

  11. Run Away

  12. Summer Nights

From the energy of Drum Beat to the carefree feeling of Summer Nights, the album offers plenty of variety while keeping the positive spirit that runs through Majelen's songwriting.

RED Vol II: Twelve songs from an island recording studio

RED Vol II takes the collection further, featuring another 12 original songs, all recorded from start to finish in Majelen's converted Toyota Coaster bus studio while based on an island off Australia's east coast.

The setting became part of the story behind the album, with the bus providing a space to write, record, mix and master the entire collection.

Musically, the album continues to explore Majelen's pop-rock sound while moving through themes of love, connection, desire, reflection and personal freedom.

  1. Criminal

  2. Babe

  12. Dreams

With songs such as One Fine Day, Ignite, Gravity and Dreams, RED Vol II offers another glimpse into the experiences and emotions that inspire Majelen's music.

It's also a particularly interesting chapter in the collection because of the way the album was created: an entire 12-track project recorded and produced in a travelling studio.

RED Vol III: Completing the Collection for 2026

RED Vol III brings the collection to its third volume, adding another 12 original songs.

Across the album, Majelen continues exploring the themes that have shaped the RED releases, including relationships, self-expression, resilience and the importance of living fully.

  2. Away We Go

  3. Don't Stop

  5. Turn On The Light

  8. Better

  9. Got You On My Mind

  10. Spin The Globe

  11. Sing This When I'm Gone

  12. Lady Divine

The tracklist includes songs such as Better, Hear Me and Turn On The Light, each offering another opportunity to explore the stories and ideas behind Majelen's songwriting.

Together, the three RED albums create a substantial collection of original music from an independent artist committed to writing, recording and releasing her own work.

What does RED represent?

Rather than being tied to one specific storyline, the RED collection brings together a range of songs and experiences.

Love, relationships, courage, happiness, loss and freedom all find their way into the songwriting.

There's an underlying focus on positivity throughout the collection, but that doesn't mean every song is about sunshine and happy endings.

Some songs explore difficult emotions and complicated experiences. Others celebrate the excitement of falling in love, taking chances or simply enjoying the moment.

That contrast is part of what makes the collection interesting. Life isn't made up of one emotion, and neither is the music.

Independent music, made on the road

The RED albums also represent an important part of Majelen's independent music journey.

As a singer-songwriter and professional recording, mixing and mastering engineer, Majelen takes an active role in creating her music from the initial songwriting ideas through to the finished recordings.

All of the collection was produced in her converted Toyota Coaster bus studio while travelling around Australia.

It's an unconventional approach to making albums, but one that reflects the freedom and independence at the heart of her creative life.

Rather than waiting for the perfect studio, location or circumstances, the music continues to be created wherever the journey leads.

Where can you listen to the RED albums?

The RED collection to date, features 36 original songs across three volumes, offering plenty for new listeners to discover.

Whether it's upbeat pop-rock, acoustic songwriting, heartfelt lyrics or music with a positive outlook, there's a little something different across each album.

Listeners can explore the collection through Majelen's website and find the music on their preferred streaming platforms.
