To anyone who sees this....and isn't an Aurora fan or only barely knows of her. After watching this... Look up and watch her live at Nidarosdomen concert. The entire thing is here on YT. Trust me....if that doesn't touch the core of your soul and blow your mind....I don't know how to help you. 4 years ago in early 2020, I'd never heard of Aurora, and randomly played that concert. One hour later...after picking my jaw off the floor, I was instantly a massive fan and could tell it would be a lifelong thing. She's a once in a generation writer and performer and vocalist. AND...if that weren't enough, she's basically the coolest kindest human ever.

[@ziff_1]

I'm in the 'barely know of her' category, but it's easy to see what a rare, natural talent she is. This is clearly someone 'born with it'.

[@lampefot]

I agree, I've seen it countless times and I recommend it to people constantly. She is earth-shatteringly unique.

You should look up her performance of Life on Mars on Trygdekontoret. She plays it alone. It is magical.

[@Postfrogish]

Massive Attack's album Mezzanine - with Teardrop front and center - was essentially my musical awakening back in '98. I was about 14 and the impact is still living. AURORA just made me hear this song as if it was my first time hearing it back then. But different. I don't think I am able to express clearly what her rendition is doing to me. I just can't fathom this cover has dodged my attention for 6 years.

[@beachbrettf]

The control she has in her voice is absolutely amazing.

[@craftistic82]

My first thought exactly. Such control!

[@MellowJelly]

she's really good at side-yodelling and has so much control in her valsetto. so good at trills and quick vocal turns. that's not natural to everyone but i think she is naturally gifted, she sounds like a songbird

Aurora is capable to merge massive attack, enya, bjork, portishead and all the trip hop vibes with her voice and talento in one shot, I love their music

[@butlerteach7473]

Her high notes are. I've never heard a voice that has such different tonal qualities between .. maybe wrong word... octaves. It's so smooth in her high notes but has a lot of texture in her alto range. It's not a bad thing at all, it makes her interesting and when she breaks into the higher notes, has a surprising effect. Very cool.

[@squeakeththewheel]

Norway has a tradition of church singing. (see Sissel.) Its possible Aurora did that as a kid.

[@tove236]

Two voices in perfect harmony. They look great together and Aurora has to be one of the most beautiful, talented people on the planet.

Always allow yourself to be open to experiencing something different and you may just come across something to rival this. Good luck.

[@sophiem8451]

I believe one of the lads said the same thing this morning but I always feel incredibly honoured when international artists chose to sing their songs in English when it is often not their first language. Especially when they have voices like Aurora's which is so pure and ethereal. So beautiful.

[@RayasNegroOvejas]

Sophie HM I believe well over 50% of our artists sing in english (even american singers have songwriters who don't have english as their first language), and it can feel weird when artists sing in our own language. You become too critical, it's too naked, english becomes like a protection. It's funny that many second generation immigrants are the ones that seem to use our language most in music, even if it is together with their slang.

[@augusto7681]

Sophie HM English is not my first language too. But i think I would never know about her if she sang in other language.

You should never be critical of someone else's interpretation of something. It doesn't exists for judgement. If you heed this advice you will save yourself from from being disappointed often in your life. No expectations, just now.

[@Skittenmeow]

​@@TheGunnCatI guess a lot of people are listening to pick out the best Like a Version covers for Hottest 100. But I feel like it's pretty normal to not want to her another person take on a track that you love, or a musician that you love. Music holds so much emotional power, and hearing a song adopted and reframed by someone can be jarring. Occasionally it feels almost blasphemous if done "wrong." It's akin to someone copying an amazing painting by and artist who has put years of heartfelt work into creating a masterpiece, and using shoddy technique, dodgy materials and poor colour choice. It's then just a poor copy that holds no meaning. All creative work should be treated with respect when reproduced.

Few songs have impacted my life as much as Teardrop did when I heard it first over the speakers at Café Paris in downtown Reykjavík. I fell so instantly in love with it that I had the waitress write the name down on a piece of paper so I could run home and incorporate it into my life, wholly... In a way that had me sitting up, countless nights, softly playing variations of it on the piano, completely lost in time and space... And now, to be introduced to Aurora, hearing her for the first time, covering this song... Feels like the whole world just shattered into uncountable fragments... and her music is somehow reassembling it piece by piece in the order it should've been to begin with... Because it now seems as if Teardrop was just a demonstrative sample of the impact music could have...

Aurora is one of the only people who can do this song justice. Absolutely first class.

[@kyledunlop9525]

One of the most achingly beautiful songs ever.

[@geraldbumblepop7582]

Man this is good. This is such a perfectly composed song and she really did it justice. I got to see massive attack many years ago and when they did teardrop it had evolved into a different version to the album and I was disappointed but this I would love to see live.

[@scottbaker6876]

Her voice is intoxicating. Her presentation of the songs she covers like this and David Bowie's Life on Mars are just absolutely spectacular.

I'm not a fan of covers of Massive Attack, none seem to even hold a candle... then I heard this. What an experience.

This doesn't hold a candle to the original either.

Agree with sentiment first part, Massive is unique. No one is going to touch Liz and Massive on a cover of the original.

[@plokooned]

This is the greatest cover of any song I’ve ever heard. Her voice is like that of an ancient Celtic goddess. Great fucking band I’m blown away

[@slavaukraini404]

What about the other AURORA covers? They are all mind blowing. The fact that she can arrange all this in her head shows the true genius she is.

[@Ian_Andre]

Algorithm scores again. It’s quite a thing to successfully cover a song in a way that both stays true to the original and also carves it’s own path.
