Aurora  – All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend

Aurora Aksnes, a 19-year-old singer also known as Aurora, has released her debut album, the well-titled All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend.

This album marks the culmination of a remarkable 12 months for the prodigal Norwegian artist, who recently earned a place on the John Lewis festive advert. The album features 12 songs and serves as a real milestone for the Scandinavian songwriter.

Icy, electronic beats are juxtaposed with Aurora’s soaring, captivating vocal delivery, confirming that the hype surrounding her is completely justified. Aurora’s creative process has been evolving since the tender age of thirteen, drawing inspiration from artists such as Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Enya, as well as from fantastical elements like those found in the works of Tolkien.

Aurora’s love for the natural world also influences her compositions, resulting in tracks that simmer with a unique blend of dramatic imagery, mood, and emotion. Fans of artists like Kate Bush, Emiliana Torrini, and Lykke Li will find much to appreciate in Aurora’s music.
