AURORA will release new album ‘What Happened To The Heart?’ on June 7th.
The Norwegian artist has built a huge global audience, merging folk, electronic, and pop aspects to thrilling effect. Out on June 7th, her fourth studio album takes AURORA far from her home, only to return once more and find it all over again.
Recorded between her native Norway, Germany, London, and Los Angeles, it matches close collaborators – Magnus Skylstad, for example – to new voices, such as Ane Brun, Matias Tellez (girl in red, Maisie Peters), Tom Rowlands of The Chemical Brothers, Chris Greatti (Yungblud, , Blink-182, Pussy Riot), Dave Hamelin (Beyonce, King Princess and Zara Larsson).
Dubbing the record her “most personal and cathartic album” to date, AURORA adds:
“Though its precise function and anatomy were not clearly understood, the heart was believed to be the centre of the soul. Of intuition. Of emotion and intention. Until we decided these were qualifications of the mind. Emotion overpowered by logic. And with the world being so corrupted by money, power and selfishness you cannot help but ask yourself – what happened to the heart?”
New single ‘Some Type Of Skin’ is out now, and it dazzles with its folkloric light – tune in now.
