releases brand new album
“THE GODS WE CAN TOUCH”

.

.

AURORA today releases her highly anticipated new album, The Gods We Can Touch via Glassnote Records. It’s an elegant and celestial but provocative body of work about shame, desire and morality, all seen through the narrative prism of Greek mythology. In each of the album’s 15 songs we meet a different god or goddess and with A Dangerous Thing, we meet Peitho, the personification of seduction and persuasion and in Everything Matters, AURORA introduces us to Atlas, God of endurance.

LISTEN TO ‘THE GODS WE CAN TOUCH’ HERE.

Last year saw her release a slew of singles which feature on The Gods We Can Touch, including Heathens,  Cure For Me and Giving Into The Love , the latter of which was performed on both Good Morning America and Late Night with Seth Meyers. Earlier this month, AURORA treated fans to the release of not one track, but two in the form of A Dangerous Thing and Everything Matters featuring French artist, Pomme.

This release of the album comes ahead of her worldwide digital experience in which she will perform music from her forthcoming album for the first time ever, on January 25th. The one-off moment will air exclusively on the premium live digital platform Moment House, and will be powered by Intel® Evo™. The one-night-only event, celebrating her album release the same week, will be broadcast to various territories around the world including North and South America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, Europe and Africa. Touch Of The Divine will showcase the fantastical world AURORA has created. Buy tickets to A Touch Of The Divine, The Experience HERE.

Growing up surrounded by forests and mountains near Bergen, Norway, AURORA Aksnes first felt the compulsion to sit alone and create at six years old. By the time she was 12 she had written Runaway, a song that would later receive a full release and, later still and thousands of miles away, would inspire another 12 year old, Billie Eilish, to make her own music. Runaway catapulted into the Top 40 Singles Chart in the UK for the first time earlier this year and also peaked in the Spotify Global Top 20.

Last November, AURORA performed at the UN’s climate change conference, COP26. The special climate and culture event took place at Glasgow’s St Luke’s Church. AURORA headlined the event’s live bill alongside Sam Fischer and several prolific DJs. She also spoke on a panel titled ‘Artists, the voice of the people’.

The chanteuse last year announced her ‘AURORA mini forest initiative’: when merch is purchased, a tree will be planted to build the AURORA mini-forest in the Andes! Up to 4000 trees will be donated towards the High Andes Polylepis Forest project, through the non-profit organisation, ‘One Tree Planted’. This is an initiative which is very close to AURORA’s heart, and just one of the many passions she has aside music.

AURORA has proved herself to be a triple threat; a singer, songwriter and producer, since bursting onto the scene in 2015 with her debut EP, Running With The Wolves. AURORA has now amassed over 20 million monthly listeners on Spotify, racked up a whopping 2.6 billion overall streams and 1 million+ global album sales.

The Gods We Can Touch is available on all platforms now.
