Norwegian Pop Star's 5th Album on Clear Vinyl Double LP!
In a world so beautifully overrun by multifaceted pop artists, AURORA leads the pack. Singer, songwriter and producer: AURORA (born Aurora Aksnes in 1996) has proven to be a three-sided talent. The Norwegian artist's fifth studio album What Happened to the Heart? has received wide critical and commercial acclaim since its release led by singles "To Be Alright," "Starvation," and "My Body Is Not Mine."
AURORA has described What Happened to the Heart? as her "most personal and cathartic album" to date, with each of the 16 tracks on this record tracing its inspiration back to a pivotal moment in April 2022 when the artist was first struck by the profound question, "What happened to the heart?" This query was ignited by her reading of the poignant letter We Are the Earth, a call to arms in the face of global warming. Delving into human anatomy books, AURORA sought to unravel the mystery of when and why Western culture lost touch with the deeper purpose of our most vital organ. Through her music, AURORA examines the loss of spiritual connection in modern society, underscoring the importance of vulnerability and advocating for reunifying the heart with politic and personal growth.
What Happened to the Heart? finds AURORA working alongside various new collaborators—including Ane Brun, Matias Tellez (girl in red, Maisie Peters), Tom Rowlands (Chemical Brothers), Chris Greatti (Yungblud, Blink-182) and Dave Hamelin (Beyoncé, King Princess, Zara Larsson) among others—each bringing their own unique styles and depth to the project. Additionally, long-time collaborator Magnus Skylstad, who has been with AURORA since her debut album All My Demons Greeting Me As a Friend, returns to contribute to the album.
