Die junge Norwegerin Aurora war eine der spannendsten Entdeckungen des letztjährigen Reeperbahnfestivals und hat zur Weihnachtszeit ein Cover der alten Oasis B-Seite „Half The World Away“ veröffentlicht:

Grund genug, mit Aurora über ihre Lieblingsplatten zu sprechen und ein wenig Einblick in die norwegische Musiklandschaft zu erhalten:

Definitely the red headed boy from Norway – dePresno!
He is just great. And he has an amazing producer and cowriter. They are exploring and discovering something new, they have a unique sound. It sounds like sand, dry leaves and love.
7. Your favourite song about rebellion/revolution?

„John, I’m only dancing“ by David Bowie.
8. Oasis, Blur or Pulp – which one do you prefer and why?
I guess I have to say Oasis:), But I really don’t know any of them very much
9. Your favourite song of 2015?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGaT7Ub6Neo
Image-autumn-womb by Goldmund!
10. Your favourite movie about music?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMSvKpVwavk
I love Moulin Rouge. It’s so filled with emotions and passion that flows over the edge and sweeps you away. At least it does that to me.
11. The most overrated band/artist?
I would never!!!!!!!
12. The best song you’ve ever written / recorded?
Well I will never write or record a song that I’ll find flawless. I’m a perfectionist – even though I love imperfection. I don’t think I’ve written my best song yet. I will always feel like I can do better, and I think that’s just how it should be.
13. Your favorite German song/record?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0D7MBBI2Ik
„Radioactivity“ by kraftwerk!
14. Your favourite record of all time?
Right now it is „Temporary dive“ by Ane Brun
Das neue Album von Aurora ist am 11. März erschienen.
