Aurora is a pure artist, she writes and produces/co-produces all her music, and has final artistic say in all that she does. very unique artist, with the most beautiful voice my old ears have ever heard. her music does not stick to one genre, and her live performances are the best you will ever see. i would suggest Murder song 54321, live at the 2015 Nobel peace prize concert, one of the best performances ever . she becomes her music while performing. great reactions, new sub.

Also, a very good 'early Aurora' mini-concert: AURORA - Nobel Peace Prize Concert | 2015

She started writing at a very young age to deal with things bothering her, and never intended becoming an artist. She turned down the offer at first, but her mother talked her into trying as she thought she should share her music. Really good and meaningful lyrics, and a perfectionist in the studio. Her albums are great, but she really shines live. Not just because of her obvious talent, but because of the emotions she puts into her performances. The added plus is her personality shining thought when she talks in between songs. I've heard more than one person saying they use her music to fall asleep 😊 .

I was lucky enough to see her live! I honestly don't believe she's human. She has to be some ethereal, celestial being just wandering through earth spreading love. ❤ Loved your reaction, can't wait for more!

Aurora is quite the artist. She made me feel again after a painful period and for that she means everything to me, which is what she's done to countless others as well. She has an uncanny ability to project emotions, but you have to check her out live.

I really enjoyed this reaction🤗 I love it when people listen to the lyrics, because Aurora is a storyteller🤗 AURORA (Aurora Aksnes) is a Norwegian singer/songwriter/dancer and music producer born on the 15 of June 1997, so she was 22 when this album was released😊 She started writing music at the age of 6 when she found an old electric piano in the attic, and when she was 9 years old she added English lyrics. So she’s self taught when it comes to singing and playing piano, and her family didn’t know about her talent until she was about 14 years old She wrote her breakthrough song “Runaway” when she was 11 years old 😳 1. Queendom In an interview with Clash she said: "Queendom is about celebrating all the differences in us. It's about celebrating the women and the children and animals and the men also. The quiet ones and the introverts, where they can sing and be seen. It's about the shy people and the lonely people and I hope it can be a place where we can come and be lonely together and then not be lonely anymore. Queendom is a place for all of us." 2. Forgotten Love "Forgotten Love is a song I wrote about how when we choose to fall in love with someone, either a partner or even just the love you have for a friend, we know the risk it takes. How much it would hurt if we would lose this person who we love this much." The parts you didn’t understand was her singing her own made up language 👍 3. Gentle Earthquakes This song is possibly about the LGBT community and sex itself, but this depends on the person who listens to the song since Aurora has stated that the songs on this album can have different meanings to everyone depending on how deep you dive into them.(This goes for most of her songs) 4. All is Soft Inside Aurora often introduces the song as one "for emotional people" 5. It Happened Quiet And 6. Churchyard Both “It Happened Quiet” and “Churchyard” are inspired by domestic violence, and in the end she comes back to haunt the one that hurt/killed her. Aurora rarely write songs about herself, it’s more about things happening in and with this world💕 7. Soft Universe In a response to a Q&A question, Aurora said about the song: "It actually has to do with love... or the fight for love, amongst other things. I was thinking about people fighting for what they believe in, [people] going in protest together to fight for a better world." 8. Infections of a Different Kind "One night I wrote a song in my dreams. It was the title track from my album Infections of a Different Kind - Step 1. I woke up in the middle of the night and went down to my piano. I pushed the record button on my phone and played the melody. And then I went to bed again." Now you just have to react to the rest of this album “A Different Kind of Human step 2”👍😍 Her live performances are👌😍😍

@4:50 is the moment that this young lady goes down the Aurora rabbit hole.✌️

I think you will have a fabulous time exploring Aurora's catalogue. Something I find interesting about her music is that she seems to be completely at ease adapting and arranging songs to different venues or environments. So for any given song there may be a studio recording, a live recording with her band, an acoustic version for VEVO, a version from a concert with a full orchestral accompaniment, and a live version with just a guitarist who also does backup vocals. And they're all perfect. I am looking forward to seeing more of your reactions.

@@ashlenamusic I forgot to post this short beautiful story Aurora told about the song "Infections Of A Different Kind" in an Oct 2018 interview, and you can see she already had the idea for "The Gods We Can Touch" album here 3 years and 3 months before it was released (Jan 2022): "On track eight you say ‘Be god in the shape of a girl’ - what does that line mean to you?" "I was at an airport, it was late, I was alone and my plane was the last one to leave. It was the year before I wrote the song, so 2016, which was a hard year for me because it was quite busy and I was sick all the time - I was in the hospital many many times. So yeah, at the airport… I was on my way home again, I felt a bit out of place, out of my own body, and then I looked at this family. I saw two very tired parents, and then this little girl - she was maybe 3 years old - and she seemed to give them so much joy, even though they were very tired. And she gave me a lot of joy. And then I saw an old couple, leaning over to look at the little girl who was smiling back at them. She seemed to interact with almost everyone at the gate, and make everyone happy. Without even knowing it. And I loved the way happiness and love can be so… simple? Don’t underestimate the power of a child. It was just very magical to see how much it affected everyone and everything. If I was to choose a religion, I would love it if god would be something that you can touch. Something like a little girl, on this earth, and not something that is far away or judges from above, you know?"

Yes, another 'Must See' music video: AURORA - Queendom (Official Video)

Aurora Aksnes... I'm mainly metal, with sometimes a bit blues/rock/folk, and I can tell that without internet, I would not enjoy her so much. She's creative, has a beautiful voice indeed, writes her lyrics and her music too, that she produces herself (even if not alone, of course), and stays true to herself. That in itself is, in my opinion, worth to respect. But to be honest, if I rather like most of her songs, I can't say I absolutely love her albums. Thanks to internet, we have access to a lot of things, like her live performances (and there are many). I tell you, she's mind blowing live. Especially (because of my own tastes) with just her raw voice, one or two people playing instruments and eventually doing some backing vocals, and her huge musical talent... but she is great live in all settings and with all instrumentation. She's talented enough to make me love the songs that are really not for me in their studio version, thanks to her ability to completely reinterpret her songs depending on the setting and her mood or mind state at that moment. And I know I'm far to be an exception. Do yourself a favour, check out some of her live stuff, or react to it if you wish, it's really worth, in exemple the first song you've listened to, Queendom: Aurora - Queendom - Loustic Sessions, Paris 2018: kzread.info/dash/bejne/p4FsudOfppiwp5s.html Anyway, nice and interesting reaction to this astonishing, amazing Artist.🙂👍

I enjoyed your reaction a lot. And she is my favorite artist from the time I discovered her on YT by a chance. And as you see she has a lot of great songs (great song after great) on all her albums. Plus great music outside albums too and even incredible covers (often made as a challenge within a hour). For sure it is worth to check more her incredible music. Also it worth to note that she is not only a singer but she write her music, play piano (and in lower extend some other instruments), co-produce her songs and generally she is involved in every artistic step. And she is natural, self taught Artist. Great talent for me. She started to make melodies all by herself when was 6 and started to add English lyrics from 9 years old (and even her parents did not know about it for first years). She wrote some some song from first album when was 9-11 years old. She become artist by a chance when she bought short time and recorded song for her parents (as did not wanted to perform before them) and someone leaked it on internet without her knowledge. And then her manager contacted with her and asked if she would like to be an artist. She said no at first but mother convinced her that she should share her music as it would be selfish otherwise :). Interesting story, is it?

Lovely reaction to my all time favorite multi talented artist. I see all the comments, I will just add that although she is self taught in all they said, no one mentioned that she took dance lessons for approximately 10 years before she stopped to focus on singing/writing/ producing music. In the beginning of her singing career she was extremely uncomfortable performing, being the center of attention, she is an introvert, it was hard for her. So, you will see once you watch her live that she just disappeared into her song while singing, it was very captivating to watch, now though, she enjoys performing, interacting with her fans when on stage and you can see in her performances her love of dance now, so graceful and fluid in her movements. Subbed for your Aurora journey, also her fan base is Warriors and Weirdos, her song Warrior is our fan anthem. See you on the next Aurora reaction

Watching Aurora reactions is a bit of a hobby for me, and this was one of the best ones I've seen in a long time! Most people are introduced to Aurora through her music videos or live (where she's at her best), so it was interesting watching you react to a whole album, especially when you expected to only react to one song. I loved watching you become more and more enchanted by her, as the album went on. Queendom is a bit of an anthem, and perhaps you'll like it more when you watch the music video and/or some of her live performances of it. I would agree that there are better songs on the album than it, but I still think it's a great song. The music video is really good too. As I said, Aurora is at her best when performing live, and "It Happened Quiet" seemed to stick out for you, so I would recommend a live version of that song next. The stripped back version at The Current is easily the most popular (and one of her most popular live performances, period), so that's what I suggest: kzread.info/dash/bejne/a4lhsJiFod3KebA.html

I have listened to it it’s just blocked on KZread. You can go to my Patreon for free and watch it there.!

funny you spoke of the show Vikings, the band Wardruna has actually done music for that show, and there is a live performance of their song Helvegan that features Aurora. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eKKftteBgJzXY9I.html this is an amazingly powerful performance.

Yup!

She didn't do any songs for Vikings afaik, but she did collab with the guy who did.

😊👍 Lovely reaction! Aurora's music has been used in many tv series and movies. She was the voice calling out to Elsa in disneys Frozen 2. Both in the movie and in the song "Into the unknown". The creators of Oscar nominated animation movie "Woolfwalkers" asked Aurora to make a special version of her song "Running with the woolves" to be used in the movie. Her songs has also been in several series like: The 100, Girls, The blacklist, Hanna, Teen woolf , the flash, Reign, Grey's Anatomy and more.

Hey Ashlena, I just watched this again, very enjoyable watching your first exposure to the amazing Aurora. Just an FYI in case you hadn't heard, she is back in the studio working on her next album, so excited! Love your reactions, thanks for the journey with Aurora 😍

@@ashlenamusicThey (we) are a loyal and passionate bunch and you’d be surprised that, in her fandom, the age range is quite large, from pre-teen up to fans like me (I’m 67) 🙂🦋🐚✨

AURORA first burst on the scene here in the US in New York playing a couple of small clubs … NPR picked her up for a Tiny Desk Concert (here on YT) It’s hard to get into her performances without seeing any video of her because she is quite captivating live and, imho, often sounds better live than from a sterile studio session. That said her personality really comes through live as well so it’s an added bonus … don’t deprive yourself 🙂

Funny to watch this now after the journey you've taken since. You have that "did I just discover my new favorite artist?" look on your face throughout. I felt the same way first time I listened to her.

Sorry, last one. We both sang “pillow” out loud, lullaby voice indeed. I’m so happy you were reading the lyrics, that’s where her fans come from.🍎

A propo if she sung in any movies, She did! She was the howling voice calling Elsa in Frozen II :)

I Love Aurora! Seeing her live this year! :-) Btw, I think you‘d really enjoy the album Superache by Conan Gray! :-D xx Angelo

One thing about being a fan of Aurora's music is: every single time you listen to it, it'll be a different experience. Every time it'll be a different understanding of the meaning of the songs. It's unreal. Aurora really is a gift. I get really emotional talking about her, she makes me want to be a better artist and person.

@@ashlenamusicyes can you believe it took that long :-). Just watched Once Aurora with you. Lovely :-). It is indeed stressful seeing what it takes out of her but I agree she has grown into the role - as she says aurora and AURORA are becoming the same person. After Once came out there was a lot of social media hate towards Gier her manager and she put out a statement saying that she was very close to him and that the portrayal in the documentary was not fair to him. I can also to a certain extent see the challenge of being the middle man between Aurora’s fairy brilliance and the emotionless money men. Love your stuff Ashlena keep on keeping on.

N'importe quelle chanson en direct , tu ne peux pas te tromper . A bientôt. réaction intéressante .

The poop audio didn’t matter, that was fun!
