Top Pick – Murder Song by Aurora

Yes, our theory about the alternative songstresses being produced in a mountainous factory somewhere in Scandinavia is true! Introducing Aurora!
You’ll instantly be hooked upon a first listen of Aurora’s new single ‘Murder Song’. Packed the brim with icy, electro-pop, vocal prowess and originality, this 19-year-old packs a punch for her young years.
The track opens with her trademark spine-tingling vocal, it quickly builds into a rousing track full of layered synths, soaring vocals and powerful drums. But it’s Aurora’s skill for lyrics and storytelling that really belies her age and sets her apart from her contemporaries. This is showcased no better than in the haunting and brilliant acoustic version of the track, which brings to the fore a dark and challenging love song. This is accompanied by an entirely captivating one-take performance video which has, unsurprisingly, become a show-stopping moment of her live set.
Having done the festival circuit this summer, Aurora has garnered quite a following already, so it’s no surprise her upcoming gig at Hoxton Bar & Grill is sold out! However there’s another chance to catch her at Brixton Academy on 25th November where she’ll be supporting Monsters and Men.
