Aurora Aksnes, known mononymously as Aurora, is a Norwegian singer, songwriter and record producer. Born in Stavanger and raised in the towns of Høle and Os, she began writing her first songs and learning dance at the age of six.

The Norwegian singer-songwriter on her empowering new single, "playful and sensual" new album and the viral success of 'Runaway'.

Having shared the title track to the soundtrack of The Secret Garden last year – following on from recent singles ‘Exist For Love‘ and ‘Into The Unknown’ from Frozen 2 – ‘Cure For Me’ is the first taste of what’s to come from the follow-up to 2019’s ‘A Different Kind Of Human.

It’s quite a strange song. I think some people may really like it and some people may not,” she said. “Like always, I got inspired by a really huge, dark and horrible thing that happens in the world. The first seed of inspiration came from thinking about the countries where it’s still legal to do conversion therapy for gay people and lesbians. I just thought that’s so pointless. The first idea was me saying, ‘I don’t need a cure for me – just let me live, man!’”
She continued: “Why is it so difficult for people to just let others be themselves? Then I thought that it could mean many other things. People tend to believe quite quickly that something is wrong with them if they’re not like the people they see in front of them. It’s so sad that it doesn’t take much for us to really doubt ourselves.”Following AURORA’s breakthrough 2016 debut ‘All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend’ and the two-part follow-up ‘Infections Of A Different Kind (Step One)‘ and ‘A Different Kind Of Human (Step Two)‘, fans are now awaiting news of her new album. While remaining tight-lipped about the details, AURORA did tell us that it doesn’t sound too much like ‘Cure For Me’.

“[‘Cure For Me’] has something in common with the album in that I’m experimenting with new things and new sides of me,” she said. “It’s easy for me to make a really ‘AURORA’ album – that feels like nature and mother earth. That comes really naturally to me. So I’m really enjoying doing something different. This is my third and a half album, and it’s about time in my mind to just play around and do something different.”
