Aurora en concert à Rock en Seine
Aurora has never felt the need to choose between Björk’s whimsical electro-pop and Enya’s otherworldly new-age pop and this indecision suits her perfectly. Her innocent, almost fragile appearance can be deceiving: in the studio and on stage, this new queen of Scandinavian pop demonstrates boldness, incredible determination and boundless creativity. This is evident across all her albums – enchanting works where the singer, songwriter and producer effortlessly blends various styles: synth-pop, ancestral folk and experimental pop. With her soprano voice, as ethereal and soaring as the northern lights her name alludes to, this Norwegian artist has more than proven herself since her debut a decade ago. Her latest album, What Happened to the Heart? (2024), just reinforces her magnetic appeal.
