    Bjork is one of Aurora's influences, and Bjork is actually a fan of Aurora. They both pull from traditional Scandinavian types of singing. There are also some more electronic Aurora songs where the Bjork influence is really apparent, especially in some of her lyricism. Aurora is also a very experimental artist much like Bjork.

  • @nthebushes

    Aurora is fantastic! She embodies her music, lives it. I have never heard a song of hers that didn't move me. One of my favorites is It Happened Quiet (Live at The Current). Thanks for finally finding Aurora, and thanks to Elizabeth for the recommendation. Great reaction, as usual.

    While I love Runaway as much as the next weirdo, I mostly see it as a gateway drug for reactors new to Aurora at this point. I really hope you get into some of the more complex songs from the recents years from her. Reactors usually focus on the marvel of the young Aurora, but her voice is even better today.

I deep dive into Aurora over the last week and now... boom. How are you doing this man ahha!? looove her vocals and her artistry entirely. You should listen to her latest track 'Your Blood' would love to see you explore that. All of these videos are real gems Chris! 💎🎶⚡

    Great reaction Chris! Good comments and links below. I will add that she never do a song the same way when she performs, she twists and turns them to her liking in that moment. Also you can find many of her songs in several versions : acapella, then add a guitar or a piano, more voices, bass and drums, her full band, then add a male choir, church organ, harp, strings section, or even a full philharmonic orchestra. Also, her music videos are pure art, she directs them mostly herself, and she is a fab dancer too having done modern dance from age 6 to 16.

    I love Aurora as an Artist but she is also very interesting and unique person (in many was). Her music evolve and change all the time but so far I love her whole "Discography". Very creative, artistic and natural person. Also love her expressiveness and emotions she transmit to listener (or at last to me :) ). And of course she has beautiful voice tone and generally sounds great. Her lyrics are also poetic, open for interpretation, beautiful and about not trivial things.

Murder song from this same consert, it happened quiet from live at the current, Lucky or Through the eyes of a child from Nidarosdomen concert..... Or listen to what Elisabeth say, she is a true warrior and weirdo .

    I've been enjoying your Electric Callboy journey, and it was a very pleasant surprise to see Aurora pop up on your channel! I think she's one of the most incredible talents I've ever seen (and heard), and I look forward to more analysis and breakdowns of her performances.
    It was really interesting to hear you talk about all the incredible things she was doing. Now imagine, she's only 19 years old, completely self-taught, and by her own admission, very nervous about being there. I would love to see you check out "Murder Song" from the same concert. It's mind-blowing. Elizabeth reacted to it on Valentines Day nearly a couple years ago (I think), and it was one of my favorite reactions ever.

  • @Tanjaaraus
    @Tanjaaraus Рік тому +3

    If you ever want a full concert, either for a reaction or just to enjoy by yourself/with your kid. She have something called the "HAIK concert". HAIK is a tv show here in Norway that fills a day full of surprises for the chosen artist, and then at the end the artist have a concert. For Aurora, they decorated a forest full of fairytale looking things, as she talks a lot about spending her childhood in solitude on the forests just reflecting and thinking. And I think her love for nature and music is reflected in each other - so the concert is magical.

    EDIT: and following the theme of acoustic versions, It Happened Quiet Live at The Current is FANTASTIC as well!!

    Thank you for the deep dive into what makes AURORA so special. My all time favourite performance of hers is "Eyes of a Child" live at Nidarosdomen - a cathedral in Norway, where she's from. In case you're looking for it, here's the UA-cam link: ua-cam.com/video/ncG9zTzsisE/v-deo.html - this is more than a just a performance - it's a spiritual experience. But then, pretty much anything by AURORA is a spiritual experience.

    I'm quite old and most of my adult life I wasn't actually interested in pop music. I preferred Jazz, Progressive Rock, Blues, Folk and classical music for decades. There are only a few pop singers who are able to get my real attention (that doesn't mean, that I want to dismiss the vocal capabilities of singers like Whitney Houston, Adele or so many other popular singers, who are great).
    But TBH the main reason, why I don't really want to listening to pop music was just because I felt, that the majority of all these gifted singers (with very few exceptions) seemingly didn't really care about the meaning of their songs (and for some reasons I didn't like that approach).
    Aurora is different!
    Edit: I don't claim, that Aurora is the only singer (songwriter/musician) being 'different' or that many 'mainstream' singers (at least occasionally) are not always really 'mainstream', but it happened not very often. From my point of view we have examples, that during the last decades singer/songwriters like Kate Bush or Tracy Chapman or Björk (the focus of this comment is for obvious reasons on female singer/songwriters because Aurora is female) they are able to get international recognition and also (not only) had financial success while being 'different' and also staying 'different' from the flock through their careers.

    Followed AURORA (no, I'm not shouting, it's how she wants her name credited!) since 2017. She's unique. She reminds me of Elizabeth Fraser from The Cocteau Twins. Not only that, but she wrote this song and its arrangement at age 11. Yes, 11. She writes all her material and directs her own videos in collaboration with a long-time friend. Her sister makes all her outfits for the videos. She's a classically trained dancer as well.
    She's a national treasure in Norway. My favourite AURORA songs are Black Water Lilies, I Went Too Far, The M*rder Song, Runaway and Queendom. YT has a few live concerts of hers. One was held in a Norwegian forest mid-winter with lanterns and Reindeer, just magical. Another was in a Cathedral with a choir. There are also a few Capella songs too. Watch them as she's mesmerising, quirky and unique. She totally immerses herself in the lyrics and music, unaware of the audience in front of her. It's just her and the music at that particular point in time.

    *Such* a beautiful song. She's very talented indeed.
    It's also worth mentioning that she has grown alongside this song for years and years.
    And that's part of the reason why I often find live performances that are "better" than the original song.

If you're like me, you will find the sweetness of her Exist For Love just... Well, it'll put a smile on your face. My top 5 artists this year on Spotify were Ren, Chinchilla, Sinead O'Connor, Aurora, and First Aid Kit. All artists with such passion.
