I remember always having wanted to open one ever since
@satur8 and I talked about her music last year or so but didn't follow through. Good to see you beat me to it :)
The single sounds good for what it is. Wonder what Tom's production is going to sound like. Any mention whether she got lost again in the southern woods of England?

Ha, what were the odds of that? Great find
@Bosco!
She's adorable. Just wonder, though, if you could ever have a "normal" conversation with her ;D
I am very grateful to the ChemsBros because thanks to them I met Aurora. I was lucky enough to see her live act twice and it is an incredible show, very nice, humble and very funny. Her music has something in particular that sets her apart from the rest. I'm really looking forward to hearing the song "puked" by Tom.
Yo también! I really enjoyed discovering her when they brought her up as a featuring artist and some members on here I believe mentioned her being real good. I was intrigued and I think this video of her performing live at KEXP was the first thing I ever listened to. Especially the first song Churchyard clicked with me instantly and lead me to continue searching for more stuff and I've been hooked ever since.

One of my favorites is Infections of a Different Kind

I also love her reinterpretations/ covers of Massive Attack's Tear Drop and the Beatles' Across the Unisvers

And another thing I'm so so grateful to is that, by discovering her, I also got to discover the amazing Norwegian musician Silja Sol (https://www.youtube.com/@siljasol5383/videos) who used to be Aurora's background singer (seen in the last video) with her incredibly large vocal register. She would totally deserve her own topic imho :) as she incorporates more electronic elements.
I think she has a wonderful voice, but really can only absorb her music in small doses.
I feel like management failed Aurora and her producer for the song "Cure for Me". This should have been a break through pop song that should've landed her in the mainstream. That melody is an absolute earworm!
P.S. And when I say "mainstream", I mean beyond internet fandom. I'm aware the song has over 100 million views on youtube...
Remember, if Aurora gives you cookies, don't eat them!

QuoteAurora has recounted the time she asked Chemical Brothers' Tom Rowlands to "puke vomit all over" a song on her new album 'What Happened To The Heart?'
(...)
"We have a lot of fun. We feel like two little aliens walking around, and we have the same hunger for something exceptional," she said when discussing her work with Rowlands. "I'm really grateful. I texted him one evening just saying, 'Tom – puke vomit all over my song please'. And he did, for like four hours.

Have a scroll up to Bosco's opening post in this thread and his reply #2.
Better late than never, eh Pum?

7th July. My calendar is marked! EDIT: Wait, NME says June 7th, Clash says July 7th. Confusing! Wikipedia says June.

If she sent it to him, and he spent four hours "puking" on it, I get the impression they weren't in the same studio or the same country. I'm gonna guess the album notes will say "additional production: Tom Rowlands". So, almost like a remix. Maybe.
