¿Quién es Aurora, la artista detrás del ‘Runaway’ challenge en TikTok?
Tras el éxito de esta canción, que forma parte del álbum de 2016 All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend, Aurora ha decidido sacar diferentes versiones a piano y otra a guitarra. “Es bastante gracioso porque cuanto mayor me hago, más sentido tiene para mí. Me tocó el corazón y ahora me recuerda a cosas que sucedieron después de escribirlo. Fue como un regalo para mí”, explicaba ella sobre la canción a NME en 2019.
“Recuerdo que estaba completamente tranquilo, afuera estaba gris. Ni claro, ni oscuro, ni seco, ni húmedo, ni frío, ni cálido; era uno de esos días fuera de lugar. Como si el tiempo se hubiera detenido”, contaba sobre el día que la escribió, afirmando que la letra salió de la nada.
Sonido y temáticas
Si este es el primer tema que escuchas de ella, te ponemos en contexto sobre lo demás. Aurora empezó cantando sobre su tierra natal, Noruega, y sus experiencias allí, pero a partir de su maduración como persona, sus canciones se inundaron de diálogos sociales como es el amor, la sexualidad, el ecologismo, los derechos humanos en general. Públicamente se considera defensora de la legalización del aborto y apoya a la comunidad LGBT.
Billie Eilish era su fan antes que todos nosotros

Fue en una entrevista para Vanity Fair en la que Billie Eilish mencionó a Aurora y cómo le había inspirado para iniciarse en este mundillo. “Cuando tenía 12 años escuché Runaway por primera vez. Algo dentro de mí hizo clic, como, eso es lo que quiero hacer, sin importar si va a alguna parte o no”, contaba la estadounidense. Ese estilo ‘dark’ lo lucen con orgullo ambas.
Aurora, no dudó en devolverle las reconfortantes palabras: “Creo que el mundo necesita más artistas que hagan lo que quieren. Ella usa su voz de una manera tan increíble. También soy un gran admiradora de su hermano Finneas O'Connell y de la forma en que produce la percusión lo-fi. La escucharé más porque debe estar haciendo algo bien. El mundo parece adorarla ahora mismo”. Y más que han seguido amándola.

Como un soplo de aire fresco en el mundo del arte aparece Aurora. Esta cantante, compositora y productora noruega lleva desde el 2012 haciendo música, pero tal vez haya llegado a tus oídos con Runaway. Este tema de cuento de hadas que podría perfectamente poner la banda sonora a Outlander se lanzó hace seis años, pero la magia de TikTok la ha revivido con el #runawayaurora challenge en el que los usuarios hacen poses con un filtro místico puesto mientras suena la canción. Un reto que ha enganchado ya a los usuarios creando 759.2 millones de vídeos.
Tras el éxito de esta canción, que forma parte del álbum de 2016 All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend, Aurora ha decidido sacar diferentes versiones a piano y otra a guitarra. “Es bastante gracioso porque cuanto mayor me hago, más sentido tiene para mí.

Públicamente se considera defensora de la legalización del aborto y apoya a la comunidad LGBT.
Todo ello tiene forma con la gran variedad de instrumentos que maneja, además de su peculiar voz que te somete a un trance. Y esta palabra, aunque suene abstracta, se materializa en sus conciertos ya que le gusta ese lado oscuro de la posesión espiritual. Ella misma ha definido su estilo musical como folk-pop oscuro o pop nativo por sus influencias noruegas.
Este 2021 ha lanzado varios EP’s con canciones nuevas y antiguas que ha dividido en FOR THE METAL PEOPLE, STORIES, MUSIC FOR THE FREE SPIRITS MUSIC FOR THE FELLOW WITCHES OUT THERE y FOR THE HUMANS WHO TAKE LONG WALKS IN THE FOREST.

Who is Aurora, the artist behind the 'Runaway' challenge on TikTok?
Music from a fairy tale goes viral on the app and accumulates 759.2 million videos
After the success of this song, which is part of the 2016 album ‚All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend’, Aurora has decided to release different versions for piano and another for guitar. “It's pretty funny because the older I get, the more sense it makes to me. It touched my heart and now reminds me of things that happened after I wrote it. It was like a gift to me", she explained about the song to
NME in 2019.
“I remember it was completely calm, it was gray outside. Neither light, nor dark, nor dry, nor humid, nor cold, nor warm; it was one of those days out of place. As if time had stopped”, she recounted the day she wrote it, stating that the letter came out of nowhere.
Sound and themes
If this is the first song you hear from her, we will put you in context about the rest. Aurora began singing about her homeland, Norway, and her experiences there, but as she matured as a person, her songs were flooded with social dialogues such as love, sexuality, environmentalism, human rights in general. She publicly considers herself an advocate for the legalization of abortion and she supports the LGBT community.
All this is shaped by the great variety of instruments that she handles, in addition to her peculiar voice that puts you into a trance. And this word, although it sounds abstract, materializes in her concerts since she likes that dark side of spiritual possession. She herself has defined her musical style as dark folk-pop or native pop due to her Norwegian influences.
This 2021 she has released several EP's with new and old songs that she has divided into FOR THE METAL PEOPLE, STORIES, MUSIC FOR THE FREE SPIRITS MUSIC FOR THE FELLOW WITCHES OUT THERE and FOR THE HUMANS WHO TAKE LONG WALKS IN THE FOREST.

It was in an interview for Vanity Fair in which Billie Eilish mentioned Aurora and how she had inspired her to start in this world. „When I was 12 years old I heard Runaway for the first time. Something inside of me clicked, like, that's what I want to do, no matter if she's going somewhere or not“, the American said. That ’dark’ style is proudly worn by both.
Aurora did not hesitate to return the comforting words: „I think the world needs more artists to do what they want. She uses her voice in such an incredible way. I'm also a big fan of her brother Finneas O'Connell and the way she produces lo-fi percussion. I will listen to her more because she must be doing something right. The world seems to adore her right now. And more than that they have continued to love her.“

Like a breath of fresh air in the world of art, Aurora appears. This Norwegian singer, songwriter and producer has been making music since 2012, but she may have reached your ears with Runaway. This fairytale theme that could perfectly provide the soundtrack to Outlander was released six years ago, but the magic of TikTok has revived it with the #runawayaurora challenge in which users strike poses with a mystical filter on while the song plays. A challenge that has already hooked users creating 759.2 million videos.
After the success of this song, which is part of the 2016 album ‚All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend’, Aurora has decided to release different versions for piano and another for guitar. “It's pretty funny because the older I get, the more sense it makes to me.
