Aurora goes nordic folk style. With some "kulning" you call something else. Well it's not easy to know. The whole album is fire. Thank you for reacting to her again. Cheers from a finn in Sweden

I actually don't mind small "imperfections" on live recordings, although I have to say I didn't notice much here myself. Flawless performance in my opinion, and one of my favorites on her new album.

Larry just trying to sound smart and edgy. It doesn't. Makes him sound like an ass.

Great reaction 😊 You are wrong about the style though. It's Norwegian folk, and some "Kulning" (ancient Scandinavian herding calls) and she's nailing it. She just releasted a new album. She's better than ever so worth checking out. Greetings from Norway 🙂

@@Stoofke777 🙂👍Only one thing to do. Start to practice. It looks easy when Aurora does it, but it's very difficult. And Larry saying it would sound better with autotune... Aurora can't use it live. She sing with a lot of ornamentation and slides. With the rapid runs of notes in folk music and Kulning, you actually have to sing off key sometimes to make it sound right. With autotune it would sound horrible.

The mandolin intro have a Asian or i might say a middle East vibe. Apart from that its more Irish Folk. It sounds like Jethro Tull (Mother goose)is a good example. In the end it's clasic Scandinavian Kulokk. I dont think she use Auto tune though , a lot of reverb and effects on the vocal yes. Love from Norway ❤

@@rolfjamne8922 Heyy fellow Norwegian! It's a mandola not a mandolin, but yes I agree with Irish folk. Maybe a hint of middle East vibe too. The singing is very similar to Celtic Folk, but the Norwegian/Nordic folk has more rapid runs of notes and Aurora is using that style. It's not easy to hear the difference though. lol And nooo, she's not using auto tune in live sessions. It would sound horrific with all the ornamentation she always use. She also use a lot of emotional expression in her voice. Auto tune and her style would be a disaster. lol Sending love right back at ya

She's pretty amazing, isn't she!

"Constrains of what she is able to do". "This would sound better with autotune" I think you have been listening to too much autotuned music. She sings perfectly here, it's pure and her voice is gorgeous. Autotune would have made it worse.

Autotune destroys everything Aurora stands for. She is pro emotion. Tuning totally destroys that.

The dramatic tension-- "the Grind" that she gets with just mandolin and a piano bass line is remarkable.

Nice reaction, I love this song and performance. On the same day she also performed Some Type of Skin live for this Vevo session, she does some really awesome vocalizing at the end and she did a slip up where she was busy moving around and almost forgot she was supposed to come in on the keyboard, her voice does a tiny wobble at that point getting to the keyboard in time and then she mugs for the video camera, it is priceless.

Honestly the sounds of both are pretty similar. Both use droning and various interesting influxes of vocal sounds.

you should also listen to the brian eno remix of this song, really. thanks for coming back to her music and please open the lyrics aside. "You speak of the devil like he's not your friend / When the world starts to burn, give the water to him!".

Those kulning vocal flips are a Scandinavian folk style -- she certainly brings tribal elements to her music. Great stuff!

Aurora was and is amazing. To be honest I don't hear imperfections gere. It is just hear stunning live performance. The song is also amazing. There are other two versions album version (and live performance was a different variant of this version) and remix (which actually was first before album release) connected with cool Sounds Right initiative. All versions are great for my ears :-)

Hi Larry, always nice to see you back with Aurora👍😍 She’s never better with autotune, unless it’s on purpose😉 I love this song and performance, but Asian style? This gives me Nordic folk/viking vibes😍😍 I highly recommend listening to the remix featuring NATURE, which she actually released a couple of months before she released the album.🦋🍀❤️ I really hope you will react to all the songs on the album🙏 I love all the 16 songs, but here’s my top 5: “Dreams” “Starvation” official video “The Blade” “Invisible wounds” “The Essence” I didn’t count the songs I’ve already listened to a lot since they were released😊

I assume he was referring to an eventual "Tibetan" or "Indian" connection. That's a completely different voice culture than hers. They don't use "head voice" at all. So there will never be any "yodel" sounds between head and chest voice. Those sounds originate from European folk traditions. But her background is Northern European She is very influenced by (Norwegian, Celtic and Irish folk music), so the comparison makes little sense. She never intended to imply Indian/Tibetan voice culture. That is his interpretation

@@maxsteiner1964 Don't get me wrong, I agree with you. He could have worded that better. But also keep in mind this is a reaction channel. They don't know everything about music.They don't know everything about the artist like the hardcore fanbase do. Nothing is worse than reactors who just say what the fans want to hear about their favorite artist. Never any critic or expressing their own view on things they see and hear. That's fake and they only do reactions for the views. If you disagree and think the reactor got it wrong, voice that and explain why in a respectful way. That gives them a chance to learn more about the artist instead of just being shut down.

She's actually said recently that when she passes on, an Album will be released of songs throughout her life that have not been heard ... Almost beautiful and yet sad... because I don't think I'll get to hear any of it.

Chris, this is one of my favs from her new album, "What matters to the Heart". So different from her other albums but, then again, what else do you expect from her but different.

Starvation!!!!! NEW STYLE!!! ♥

Enjoy the channel and your reactions...however may we please never speak of such blasphemy as auto-tuning Aurora again! ;) As others have mentioned she's just dropped a whole new album and a couple other videos (Some Type of Skin live VEVO and Starvation music video).

I Missed your aurora reactions, please more❤ maybe you can do a listening party for each of her albums 😊?

this is so awesome, made me turn it up way to load in my headphones so your scratching your beard became ASMR.

What we hear here is a nordic folk influence. As much as the Mandoline so as well the kind of Vocals she sings are traditional ways, celtic-ish!

You have to bear in mind that if Aurora does something, it is what she intended to do. Anything else and she'd re-do it until it was as intended. This is a unique version, probably done just for this Vevo recording. It is different to the album version, different to the remixed single version, different to the promotional live show version ...

If you haven't heard the original studio version of this song, I'd recommend it. I think this performance would make a lot more sense if you heard the original instrumentation. This entire album is mind blowing.

The word youre looking for is "shamanic". Honestly it had more of an Irish/bluegrass "First Aid Kit" band vibe. Jesus, Mary and Joseph you almost killed the vibe sir.

This is a bit off topic, but how would you feel about reacting to music from a video game? Baldur’s gate 3 won game of the year, beating out MANY competitors and famous companies. It won for its complex characters, amazing story, great gameplay, and beautiful soundtrack. In their acceptance speech, they say they wanted to fight against greedy companies that make people pay extra for parts of the game that should have been included in initial purchase, by delivering a spectacular experience for only the cost of the buying the game. Some of the songs with vocals include: - Raphael’s final act - down by the river - I want to live They are all hauntingly beautiful, I would love to see your reaction to them :)

Second on this stormy day 🤗🤗🤗

..Tibet... yes, got that ! - she gets inspiration s from folk music all over the world ( Starvation is a bit middle east..) and al kind of music and sounds .... But, theres nothing litle about Aurora, apart from her hight ( she sayd that she did not like hugging, because she tend diapear inbetwen someones tits. And another thing she reveal in an intreview is that she made a plan when she was young - that she had 8 thing to say tho the world, and this is the fourth - so listen carefully tho her lyrics, she has definitely something to say to us. She also sayd that she didnt know how long it whould take to bring out the four last cahptels...... where is she comming from ?... we just dont know, do we ? Best from Bergen, Norway

Hey man. First off take love and respect. I only discovered you 10 days ago but already went through the whole Eminem playlist. Your reactions are genuine and your interest to understand each song is why I love your reactions. I don't know if you're even gonna see this comment or not but if you do please please please react to So Far Away by Avenged Sevenfold. They are a heavy metal band but this song isn't metal heavy rather very emotional. Seeing your reactions I feel like you're into having chills and crying over songs/stories just like me, this is a song I am listening to for 9ver 10 years I think and it still makes me tear up. So I really beg you to react to this song from their official music video. I'll be waiting for this every day and when you finally do it I'll be in the comments to describe or explain the story behind it. I'm not gonna do it now as I want to see your raw reaction to it. Hope this comment reaches you.
