Transcript of the interview:
„All right it's time now for today's WorldRecord >Zane Lowe’s WorldRecord<
Today's WorldRecord, one song to 100 countries comes from a very promising and exciting new artist. Everything has changed for her in the last 12 months and it's about to get crazier with a new album called ‚All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend’, which is due very soon. We welcome Aurora to Beats 1 and 100 plus countries with a brand new WorldRecord.
How are you Aurora?“
„I'm good, thank you.“
„Since Christmas your life must feel like it's been tipped upside down.“
„Oh yeah it's very strange. It’s like falling into a hole like Alice in Wonderland. It’s been quite terrifying, in the same time it’s very strange. I think that's the key word.“
„But to have emerged from that now with an album very important first step and I loved what you said about albums being a real book as opposed to a sort of page or a chapter and sort of most important really for the artist in order to create an album not necessarily for anyone else to judge it.“
„It's more like - you know - on an album you have more… a bit more freedom to do what you want as well, because an album is more like a kind - you know - as I said it's like a whole book than just a page and I just love albums and I think I'm more like an album artist than a single artist. I just love being in the studio as well, it's been a really great experience making my first album and I'm… I've already begun making the second one.“
[...]
„Aurora on the phone right now. That was today's WorldRecord. The song was called ’Warrior’ from an album called ’All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend’ with already another album in plans. Tell us about the song ’Warrior’ and how this came to exist.“
„Well, as we all know the world can be quite beautiful and humans are quite beautiful creatures, but in between all that beauty there are a lot of horribleness and people can do horrible things against people as well and it's quite hard, because we get everything so easy now these days through the news and papers and all that stuff. So ’Warrior’ is kind of about being a warrior of light to just be a good person. I think that's - you know - the meaning of life as well, just to be good. It's kind of a song for my fans, which I call ’Warriors and Weirdos’ and it's about being a warrior of light.“
„You know you're from a place with people if they are… if you ask somebody on the street who'd never been - you know - what Norway was like, they would imagine a fairy tale existence - you know - somewhere where it's incredibly beautiful and ultimately idyllic and yet you've talked about that kind of melancholy that comes with long dark nights and… and I think that's interesting - you know. The music reflects that it seems.“
„Yes definitely and I think the only reason I think that's something [?] to a human be in that kind of nature we have in Norway or - you know - the deep dark lakes and sea and it's almost like it lies in our people to be a bit melancholic and a bit like and there is a certain darkness to the whole of Norway and we love Haevy Metal as well, even I do.“
„The song is called ’Warrior’. Today's world record. The artist Aurora readies the release of a brand new album called All My Demons greeting me as a friend which is due out March 11th 2016 Glassnote Records. Thank you for your time and we look forward to catching up again.“
„Thank you for your time. Bye.“
