Aurora: "A song can save those who have no one to talk to"
Aurora looks like a frail blonde head, until she starts singing. Then, The 20-year-old Norwegian turns into a poetic warrior the Björk.
Encounter with this lunar star.
At the age of 6, while the children play dinette, Aurora writes her first words. Before adding piano notes. "But I didn't make a song before my 9 or 10 years," she specifies, as if her precocious talent as a singer-songwriter-performer was an unnamed banality.
Born in Norway, the young 20 years girl was noticed on the Internet, while she seems miles away from this ultra-connected universe cherished by her generation. Aurora loves Gustav Klimt and film composers James Horner or Thomas Newman. She is inspired by John Williams and nature. And sing with a voice that seems to crystallize the moment. Her poetic musical universe has the effect of a breath of fresh air in an enchanted forest, like her debut album All my Demons greeting me as a friend, released in March.
Cleverly worked porcelain, polar blond square and translucent blue eyes, she observes the world with a lunar air before turning it into songs. Normal, for a native of the country of the midnight sun. Interview.
How does a young girl from Norway end up playing to sold-out crowds in Paris?
I have no idea! It's very strange, like all my life now. I worked a lot to get here, but everything was very quick.
You wrote your first songs before your 10 years. Whence this need to express yourself?
I am very emotional and I can't always express myself at the moment. When I discovered the pleasure of writing, I was finally able to put into words my emotions in a pretty way, with poems. I've always had a lot of thoughts in mind, it's satisfying to put them on paper.

Is it difficult to sing in public when we're so emotional?
Not necessarily, because being hypersensitive means that you are comfortable with your emotions. Crying in public, showing that I'm sad or angry doesn't scare me. It's a very pretty thing. Especially live, when I see people feeling the same emotions, crying or laughing with me. It brings me closer to these strangers.
What's your first musical memory?
I was very small and very ill. I remember that my mother put a classical music CD with Mozart, Chopin and Beethoven. I forgot the pain. It was like a cure, just thanks to these notes.
And today, you hope to bring the same comfort to those who listen to you?
I want to be a friend to them, when they are unable to express their emotions. A song can save those who have no one to talk to. I try to give my music a dreamy side, but also powerful and strong. Dark and bright at the same time.

What inspires you?
Everything, from a color or a sound, a smell, a memory, a dream or a nightmare. I try to integrate nature into my music as much as I can. Visually. Every song has a clear identity to me. When I write, I can imagine how it will sound and what the clip will look like.
The title of your album "All my demons greeting me as a friend". Why this name?
Writing songs or expressing through art is a way of understanding, managing and creating new emotions. Through this, I try to welcome my demons as friends. I'm glad to know that they will always be there to help me make music, paint or dance. I wanted to name my album after what makes me write.
An unforgettable scene memory?
During my concert at the Rock en Seine festival, this summer. It was day when we started and night when we finished. It was as if the world transformed while we were playing.
