The star from Os has recorded 17 new songs and is adamant about releasing a new record in 2017.
- I've recorded 17 new songs, and written some 40 other songs. I would like to release them shortly.
Wednesday 10 August Aurora will play a sold-out Øya Festival. Before the concert NRK met Aurora for a live interview on Facebook, where she disclosed that a new record will be out shortly.
- But I haven't asked my record company so I can't really say much other than I very strongly want it to happen. It should be possible to release it as early as possible next year. Ideally I would like to release albums annually.
Success around the world
Since the last time the 20 year old played the Øya Festival in 2014 a lot has happened in her career. In addition to releasing her debut album, she's played sold-out shows around the world and been seen by millions of TV viewers.
When her debut album All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend was released she was compared to Björk by The New York Times. And Björk is one of the artists that Aurora mentions as one of her inspirations.
- It kind of varies who I'm inspired by. But I love Enya, classical music, heavy metal, Kate Bush and Björk. I like people who are themselves.
Wants to play a ghost
Besides all the concerts Aurora told us during the interview that we may see her as an actress in the future since she's been to several auditions over the past year.
- There have been a lot of exciting things happening that involve film auditions lately. But I haven't really been interested in the roles I've been offered.
Aurora says she doesn't want to play a girl and definitely not someone in love.
- That would've been very embarrassing. I'd rather play someone who is rising from the dead. A scary role in a horror or science fiction movie, Aurora reveals.
Hectic next few months
Many of the submitted questions during the live interview were about Aurora coming to various places in Norway to play.
- I would like to play all over Norway. As a Norwegian artist it's kind of stupid to play in only the five largest cities, Aurora says.
But, as with the coming album, her fans need to wait before they can see her.
- Maybe we'll find time to do a tour of Norway next year. Tomorrow I'll be up at 5 to go to Haugesund, and after that Sweden and Budapest await. We'll be playing almost daily until 19 December.
