Aurora Aksnes (born June 15, 1996), also known as AURORA, is a singer, songwriter, dancer and record producer from Norway. Born in Stavanger, she began composing her first songs and learning to dance at the age of six. She signed recording contracts with Petroleum Records, Decca and Glassnote Records in 2014. AURORA became famous with her first mini-album "Running with the Wolves" (2015) and won the Norwegian EBBA Album of the Year Award, which included the subsequent dark horse work "Runaway". Later that year, she sang a cover of Oasis' "Half the World Away" on the soundtrack for a John Lewis Christmas short.
AURORA's debut studio album All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend (2016) received universal reviews, topped the charts in several European countries, and was twice certified platinum in Norway. Subsequently, she successively released multiple mini albums and recording albums. In addition to her solo work, AURORA has collaborated and co-written songs with other artists, including Icarus, Askjell, Lena, Travis and The Chemical Brothers. She has also scored films and TV series including "Girls," "Frozen II" and "Wolfwalkers." Among them, the theme song "Into the Unknown" sung for "Frozen II" was nominated for the original song at the 92nd Academy Award for Best Picture.
Her voice is very fresh while also being able to convey emotional delicacy and depth. Her ability to use her bass so flexibly to express the emotions and themes of the songs in so many different ways makes me so fond of her music.
Secondly, I think the meaning expressed in her songs is very beautiful. In her songs, there are beliefs calling for harmonious coexistence between man and nature, beliefs opposing war and calling for peace, and the belief that everyone can insist on being themselves.
Finally, in her joint name with Game Sky, this elf from Northern Europe is called Human Vocal Music. Combined with Sky’s scene interpretation of every song in the concert, it almost covers all expectations for reality, those that are far out of reach. Wishes: Hope to become brave; hope that women become warriors; hope to wake up before the last tree falls; hope that people and nature, her songs are powerful enough to touch the soul.
The first time I met the singer Aurora was in the game Sky that was linked to her.At that time, as the protagonist of the linkage, she held a grand concert in Guangyu, each of which could accommodate 4,000 people.I think her singing is very beautiful when paired with the game graphics of Optics Valley, so I deeply like this singer.Most of the songs Aurora sang in this collaboration were aimed at protecting nature and opposing war.In her singing and the graphics of the game, I saw a world that has become lifeless due to pollution and people who have been displaced by war.
But then she sang about people's unity and the struggle for life after pollution in the game. This element that represents new life makes people feel very warm when seeing the sad scenes before.Finally, after experiencing rebirth, Aurora sang a very cheerful song that made people happy as the ending of the concert.After this game concert, I looked up her previous songs and became her fan.
