Alt-pop icon AURORA releases anthemic new song ‘Some Type Of Skin’
Norwegian singer, songwriter and producer, AURORA, needs little introduction. From using her songs to stand up for climate change and LGBTQIA+ rights to exploring the vulnerabilities of love and embracing being yourself, her heavenly sounds have connected with people the world over in a unique and authentic way. She’s a true original. A one-of-a-kind alt-pop icon.
AURORA’s new song, ‘Some Type Of Skin’, brings us more of this magic in a big festival-ready anthem. Complete with her otherworldly ethereal vocals, soaring melodies and a hypnotic, swelling beat, it will no doubt get the dancefloor jumping.
Speaking about the meaning behind ‘Some Type Of Skin’, AURORA says “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.”
Since bursting into the limelight in 2015 with her debut EP Running With The Wolves, AURORA has toured the world multiple times over, been listed by Rolling Stone as one of ten new artists you should know about, collaborated with artists like The Chemical Brothers, performed at the Academy Awardsand appeared as a guest on US TV shows The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Late Night with Seth Meyers.
Billboard even called her “One of the most fascinating people currently making music”, which was evident in her iconic interview with triple j which went viral for her incredibly candid charm and endearing eccentricities. AURORA has also racked up over 16M views of her epic triple j Like A Version cover of Massive Attack’s ‘Teardrop’, one of the most streamed songs of the series ever.
Since then, she’s amassed more than 20 million monthly listeners on Spotify, her songs have been streamed an incredible 3.3 billion times and she’s sold over a million albums worldwide.
Now, AURORA is set to once again capture the hearts of her fans all over again.
