[@joaomjguerreiro]

Christian Hidalgo​ i mean, she is beyound a great singer, in each thousand great singers there is one, or less, like her. Katie Melua is in the same group. They do not just sing greatly, they share their souls and their emotions, and amaze us with the magic of their voices.

[@codirennke1109]

I'm so in love with her magical brain. Her writing feels like great mythology and epic tales of adventure. She looks like this ethereal little forest fairy and then she opens her mouth and almost sounds like one until the lyrics hit you and you realize she is letting you in on something primal and dark and I dont even know. What a cool human being she is.

that's a little bit funny. When she was 11, we see her as mature child, but when she is 24 (her current age), she seems to act like child. (which occurs in interviews, documentals and etc.)

It's refreshing to see an artist react and perform to/for the song, and not the audience.

[@christianhidalgo9699]

+HughesReview I agree too. Seeing her immerse herself as she did was enjoyable. Felt like a story

[@joaomjguerreiro]

She is really living the songs, and the funny proof is that she was thirsty, grabed the water bottle, opened it, and then closed it again and placed it on the table. I think she did not even notice that she did not drink at all.

[@MariaGoJa]

HughesReview agree. it became so very rare. So many people told me I should perform for the audience whenever I got lost in my songs and I hated it. So many concepts. In the end performing is just about sharing an experience ....

One thing for sure, she really feels her music and envisions it while she is singing, she uses her body and mind as part of her instrument.

I wished so bad to be like the people around me, normal and not in my way. When I see her I been so proud she have a chance to express her personality. I hope she stay how she is and don´t fight against it. Because of that, I destroyed so much in myself, lost my creative side, suffer on anxiety and have a low self-esteem.

[@leoslovato]

One of the most honest comments ever seen. Same feeling here. She's so pure

[@ericgelders]

Probably cause she's laying it all bare in her performance, which makes it all the more personal and intimate. Ironic at the same time, since you're not there in the room. I think it shows how good she comes across as a performer. Very impressive.

[@GiacomoParrinello]

Such an interesting and deep comment! This is one of those things that many people feel but lies undiscovered until someone doesn't light it up...sometimes even thinking he's the only one to feel such a thing, and that what he is going to say won't make all that sense for the others. Instead what a beautiful surprise it is, when this moment comes and what once was something untold appears to be so true among people all over the world. By the way, I personally think there is something hypnotic in Aurora's eyes and movements...I can't help but think she has a special charm. She makes you feel uncomfortable and incredibly comfortable at the same time. I wonder what would happen listening to her live, alone in a small room.

The coolest thing about this girls, is that she actually write all of here music and lyrics herself.

[@leodobrodenka5546]

+Dan «BTTG» Gimberg even cooler is that she wrote In Boxes when she was 11 and Lucky at 9-10 and Awakening at 14 and in her album you will hear song written when she was 9 !! What?? She is a prodigy with capital letters!

[@leodobrodenka5546]

+Dan «BTTG» Gimberg The story behind Lucky is : when she was a kid she had a favourite place with lots of trees which she used to climb and one day she saw the machines cutting down the trees becase of house building and she wrote the song about tha experience ,a beautiful song! She was a very happy kid with a loving family so suicide wasn't in her mind at all. In Boxes is a story about a very strange and scary old lady.! She can confuse anyone because all her songs are filled with metaphorses, there are some joyful exeptions like Warriors and Conqueror!

[@leodobrodenka5546]

+Dan «BTTG» Gimberg Everything has 2 sides ..life the bright and dark Not many songwriters are brave enough to write about the dark side Aurora did that as a child with elagance.Incredible! Animal Soul is a new song recently uploaded on KZbin and OMG it's such beautiful song. She forgot the lyrics but the audience didn't care at all they just love her!

[@promethea8916]

+Leo Dobrodenka where'd you get this info from?

[@leodobrodenka5546]

+Yves V I'm norwegian and have read and seen all her interviews. Example. a radio interview with RTHK-radio 3 in Hong Kong she said that Runaway was written when she was 11 All her songs except 'Little Boy in the grass' (15) 'Puppet'(16) ,'Conqueror' and 'Running with the wolves' (18) were written between 9-14 yr. Aurora said that in her album release March -16 you'll find songs written between 9-18 yr.

[@dulcealvarez6071]

she said in a tiktok that she is introverted, that she is scared of people but not scared of what people think of her, I guess that shows her unique way of be, she might feel uncomfortable being surrounded by people but she will never be uncomfortable in her own skin

[@rafnork9325]

Kaue Uematsu Have you heard a barbershop quartet when they all hit the same note but in their different tones and their voices mesh really nicely? Thats harmonizing.

[@alvarezblanco]

@Sean Gold I think your barbershop quartet reference is the best to explain what harmonizing is, but your terms are a bit off. I'm sure you meant that they hit the different notes of a chord. The voices mesh really nice because we perceive it as just being one chord and not many notes.

[@centuriomacro9787]

from my amateur understanding, harmonies have to do with the interval or the distance between two or more notes. There are several intervals (for example from the 1st to the 3rd note, or from the 1st to the 5th note of a scale) which sound naturally great to the human ear, on every scale. If you combine those 1st, 3rd and 5th note you have a ordinary triad, or in general a chord or even more general a harmony. By definition you can combine any notes together and call them a harmony, but I think the avg listener is more focused on how well the harmony sounds. Hope it was helpful, I´m more used to the german technical terms.

Tiny Desk concerts are perfection, here artists are stripped down to their raw greatness. Only problem is it is hard to listen to their over produced albums afterwards... Not. The. Same. I have a lot of favorite artists now, but with only 3 songs I can ever listen to.

[@AR-ml9eo]

Yep. It's a real buzz killer when you go buy the studio produced album based on an NOR Tiny Desk Concert. I did that with Family Crest because I was so smitten by Beneath the Brine, but I keep going back to their NPR version. Studios today just can't get it that less is more and better. They just gotta add ten more effects. Argh.

There's something so raw with her movement and facial expressions. I know that is what everyone is commenting on, but it's really hard to feel like this and show it to an audience. So many people would be embarrassed! She looks quite strange at many points, very fluttery and her eyes look lost. But she's so into her song that she almost isn't there, and I don't feel as if it is an act. I feel like she's giving us exactly who she is and that is so so special.

[@nouranez5634]

The choice of the songs here is brilliant. Runaway represents loss, wanting to get away, escape from just everything and not knowing what to do, basically, confusion and sadness, and then there is Murder song, which obviously represents the moment of Impact, the moment that changes everything in your life without you even noticing, a moment of extreme struggle and realising the things we love aren't always the best for us, and then there is Running With The wolves which means in my opinion, healing, and realising that loving yourself is the only key there is to be saved, it represents getting over whatever hurt you and becoming a braver, stronger and much better person. I'm just, I'll leave you the words.

+fridge  In October I manage to attend to her concert in Paris, at Les Etoiles… small place, two meters near her, and near her great Band. She uses a very special reverb to define her voice… superb… I can't imagine how it was at Gudvangen. Glorious probably! At the end of the concert I approached her… she embraced me while I was happily near to cry… One hour of deep, deep happiness, fridge… even if she calls her songs… dark pop. I would better call them Gospel Pop!
