AURORA - WHAT HAPPENED TO THE HEART? ALBUM REACTION

[@abovethemiddle8408]

This album is insane!!!! The trio of starvation, the blade and my body is not mine is like all the frustration she was brooding over through the start/middle of the album boiled over. Absolutely incredible.

[@bennshouts]

RIGHT?!?!?

[@adrianWHTTH]

Do you feel too🥹

[@AuroraWEIRDO]

lol those are all my faves in the album

[@a_fat_rainbow_cat]

It's confirmed, in the end of my body is not mine she shouts "CEASEFIRE NOW" and "IS THIS ALL YOU GOT!?!" I love this woman

[@christopheraguilar911]

What does it means ?

[@Patrick-yg2mh]

Billie and Aurora really collided with that 'hit me hard where I am soft' and 'hit me hard and soft' ❤

Who needs drugs when you have new Aurora? That was a trip!

just finished reacting to this album and had to watch your reaction !! WHAT AN ALBUM!

[@laluba3603]

Just finished my reaction to your reaction to the album, and I need you to know that I will come back to you over and over and over again. LOL.

[@yangoesfishingsqn963]

I just cried at Invisible Wounds and The Essence, AURORA has so many good intentions in its lyrics, that it's moving

[@bennshouts]

😭😭😭

[@therealbwells2024]

The tracks My Name and My Body Is Not Mine were partly produced by Tom Rowlands of The Chemical Brothers. They are the reason I found AURORA, through their album No Geography which has 3 songs with her vocals. I love it whenever they collab👏🏻👏🏻🔥

[@arctic-1878]

Auroras best album, absolutely love it!

[@Julian.Romero13]

I'm so conflicted lol In one hand, I think is the most amazing work she's done in production, amaizing songs, perfect album, but on the other hand, I feel is the worst one she's released lmao I've been a fan for a really long time, and the other 4 albums just sound better for me, more cohesive. I love this new direction she went with this album, and again, i enjoy it so much lol I don't know what to think... her best work yet or her worst??? So conflicting... Either way i love every album of her

[@LifeOfJakoby54]

@@Julian.Romero13 I think this one is the most cohesive and thought out by far

[@arctic-1878]

@@Julian.Romero13 I get what you're saying! There are a couple songs here that doesn't make me go WOW for example. But for me, if I go back to "The gods we can touch", that album had a lot of songs I never listened to after the initial listen. "The innocent", " A temporary high", "artemis", "this could be a dream", "A little place called the moon". I'm not a big fan of either of those songs from her previous album. To me I think this is her strongest album yet. "Infections of a different kind step 1" and "A different kind of human step 2" has a lot of fantastic songs for sure so I'm kinda torn there! It's also hard to judge cause some of it is a mix of nostalgia and her amazing live performances! EDIT: Okay after listening to it again I don't know how I feel lol

[@Julian.Romero13]

@@arctic-1878 ikr? My opinion keeps changing lol, now I think is her most complete and powerful album. My favs are Step I & II, but you're right, nostalgia has a lot to do with it. Even if I liked The Gods We Can Touch, I always skip "A Temporary High" lol since the album came out, I've always thought that is her worst song ever but it's ok. All My Demons is a classic, perfect album as well. Anyway, she keeps getting better, this tour is gonna be so crazy

[@adrianWHTTH]

I FCKN LOVE THIS ALBUM!!! MOTHER IS FEEDING US

[@dlbwoodbury]

❤😂😂

[@SallyB_23]

MOTHER IS MOTHERING

[@georgeandfriendsadventures5073]

Aurora is definitely channeling her inner Björk and Kate Bush with these otherworldly vocal inflections and ambitious production. I definitely think this is her best album, because she’s using her abilities to the fullest.

[@LifeOfJakoby54]

so glad you reacted to this album I love it sm I think it’s her best work so far tbh the production is insane and her vocals were so different on some songs I love it 😭❤️felt like a whole journey I can’t even pick favorites but I will say it’s a album I very much needed rn in my early 20s

[@bennshouts]

Could not agree more!!! 🫀🫀🫀

[@SallyB_23]

Omg same (I just turned 24 and the singles she released before the album were very cathartic and healing for me)☺️✨

[@LifeOfJakoby54]

@@SallyB_23 totally relate :)

[@HanaRay1]

Great reaction! I absolutely love this album, it's so cathartic and powerful. I want to dance, cry, scream and smile all at the same time. I also love that she has credited The Earth to support EarthPercent 💙

[@bennshouts]

Literally!!!

[@lilymoore-sx8pk]

I feel like earthly delights sound like if ‘the seed’ was part of the gods we can touch album.

I really must say, this reaction stands out to me because I can see how much you have opened yourself up to new sounds over the last few years. I remember a time when you didn't understand a lot of electronic music, or songs that were a bit on the odd side, but I can see how much your musical knowledge has grown and how much more open you are to new things. And I mean that as the highest compliment. I feel like I've watched you grow as a listener and reactor. I'm happy to be here listening with you Benn! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

[@bennshouts]

Omg 😭 What an amazing comment and compliment! Thank you!!! I love that you’ve been her for so long and noticed things about me that I havent even haha! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Made my day! Thank you!!!

[@GhostlyEcheveria]

@@bennshouts Of course, Benn! I really appreciate the fact that you react to the best albums immediately. And when you look back at reactions like some of the Arca albums, it becomes really obvious how much your musical taste has grown. Even if you don't love something, you can see how you have grown to appreciate small elements of songs and albums, rather than needing to love the whole thing.

[@15arael]

Such a change from her past projects, and i love it!

[@bennshouts]

Me tooooo!!!

[@MoriiRanmaruu]

One thing is for sure. That is she never disappoints 🥰🫀

[@_joffrey]

The album leaves us no time to break. It's fun, the different genres traveled are unique to each other without any repetitions. Aurora keeps us until the last track, sweating.

[@bennshouts]

10000%

[@hahdeadcorpse]

I love Aurora so much i have been waiting for months for the album i can't believe it happened. She and her songs truly helped me

[@bennshouts]

❤️❤️❤️

[@jessicaferrari3987]

I think you nailed the feelings behind "The blade". At least that's a feeling that resonates a lot with me, growing older I lost the person I was in my twenties, and now I'm angry to see what life did to me while I was trying to just exist and be happy. I am working on it. Sometimes anger is a lifesaver, but getting stuck in it is not good for anybody. Those angry, raw, techno tracks are so cathartic. Much needed in today's reality.

[@wonder_rain_]

Your reaction was so goooood i was grinning ear to ear watching you like YESSS THOSE WERE MY EXACT REACTIONS CAUSE JESUS GOD IT WAS POWERFUL!!!!!

[@bennshouts]

HAHA LOVE THIS!!!

[@tx0h]

thanks for your comprehensive reaction, i enjoyed your engagement. i just learned that the first and the last song got written at the same day, the alpha and omega of the album, so to say.

[@bennshouts]

Oh wow!! Her takent is insane!

[@lillm6874]

I really enjoyed your reaction as always🥰 This album is nothing less than a masterpiece, pure art😍😍❤️ Her best album imo👍

[@bennshouts]

😍😍😍 thanku!

[@GhostlyEcheveria]

Glad you wasted no time with this one, once again! You are always the first to react to my favorites and I really enjoy watching your reactions. ❤ This album is so incredibly different but welcome. The first 7 songs make me bawl my eyes out. The second half of the album is such a surprise, and in the best way. I wasn't expecting her to range from 80's metal, to rock, to straight techno, to 90's pop, and even 80's synthpop. I really love this album. More than I even expected to, and I'm a ride or die for AURORA.🫀🫀🫀 Echo of My Shadow, To be Alright, The Essence, and Invisible Wounds are my favorites, but I really love some of the more unexpected songs too. The emotion in her voice in Invisible Wounds....my god. I'm surprised I'm still a whole person. It's hard to hear Aurora so sad when she brings all of us so much joy.

[@bennshouts]

Could not agree more!!!!! 🫀🫀🫀

[@jordanpeal9410]

I have been a fan of Aurora since his first album. I think this is his best album the best

[@moon_bones]

I feel like she’s referencing a lot about the war. My body is not mine… I think is suppose to be at the end, where you can’t understand what she’s saying fully… she’s fired up, ceasefire now! Ceasefire. It’s like that sound that can be either green needle or brainstorm? Anyway, this album may be my favorite. I was in love with the steps, but this touches me so deeply. We will see in the coming months where it ends up placing

[@moon_bones]

Also, dreams… “I've needed so much With nothing to touch Floating from Earth Another bridge burned A mother concerned Come back to the world” The coldness of someone taking someone’s life. Somebody’s daughter. Needing so much, having love and having it ripped away for the sake of ego and destruction. Absolutely brilliant.

i was about to comment "wow how did you manage to listen to this album without crying" and then some type of skin came in this album is so insane like first ur dancing and then ur crying and then you do both at the same time and then you start jumping and idk do a freaking mosh pit or something also a soul with no king is the song ever no song has ever described my spirituality so well oh my god its amazing i want to dance under moonlight to this btw since you said you didnt know what was it about, i think a soul with no king is about nature as an entity speaking to mankind

[@Geralt26]

I love this album more and more. You should also hear a Soul With No King Remix. Remix (which was released first) and this original are both totally amazing for me :). For sure When The Dark Dresses Lightly is my another new obsession. Generally very strong and so unique album - so different from previous (and i said the same for The Gods We Can touch it means she did it again - always like a new Aurora :)). The part I do not like so much is only techno part in Starvation (at first listen I did not liked song because of it) but rest and very strong official video adding 'flavor' to the song :) Thx for this cool album reaction!
