Alt-pop sensation AURORA today releases her new single ‘Some Type Of Skin’. First played by Clara Amfo on BBC Radio 1 last night as ‘Hottest Record’, the single is a dark slice of electro-pop revealing AURORA’s conflict between vulnerability and her need for emotional resilience. LISTEN HERE
“I’ve always been told that I should build some type of skin. I’ve always let myself merge too much with the world, not really knowing where the world ends and I begin. This song screams the muchness of it. And it’s delicious. Being human is really delicious, even though it’s more than any of us can handle. My god it’s a lot.” explains AURORA about the track.
The single is coming with a music video that AURORA co-directed with Kaveh Nabatian (The Barr Brothers). “Kaveh feels like a strange soulmate from another world. When our minds collide it’s always wonderful. It was wonderful to join minds once again, bringing loneliness to life – visually.” adds AURORA about the video.
Freshly announced, AURORA is set to hit the stage of the iconic Glastonbury Festival for the third time in her career, alongside Dua Lipa, Coldplay, SZA and Shania Twain. She’ll then captivate audiences at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark and join the lineup for Japan’s Summer Sonic later this summer.
AURORA is currently on a 10-date tour across Norway, sold out every night. This year, she has already released singles ‘Your Blood’ and ‘The Conflict Of The Mind’, which were both championed on BBC Radio 1 & BBC Radio 2 with millions of views on YouTube. This new material follow her third, and highest charting album to date, ‘The Gods We Can Touch’ which went Top 10 in the Official UK Album Chart in 2022. Adding to her multifaceted talent, AURORA released her very first book last year, also titled ‘The Gods We Can Touch’, in collaboration with Decca Records & Faber Music, with sales surpassing 14,000 copies to date, and printing press had to be relaunched due to unprecedented high demand.
