AURORA - A Different Kind of Human (Step 2) (3SR)

June 7, 2019 - Decca Records/Universal

Chock full of sample-able material, haunting atmospheres and booming anthemic storms, quirky Norwegian pop singer Aurora’s new album A Different Kind of Human (Step 2) is a rallying cry that wakes us back up to the light of love—of loving self, others, humanity, Earth and sky. Her signature breathy voice towers larger than life like a dawn chorus as she connects our human behavior back to nature with the allegorical tradition of an ancient storyteller; it’s the musical equivalent of stumbling into the mythical darkness of the forest and reawakening something long lost in the day-to-day of modern humankind. A Different Kind of Human (Step 2) proceeds and completes 2018’s Infections of a Different Kind (Step 1), with a refreshingly loud, beautiful optimism that is even—dare I say it—conceptually obnoxious at times in its youthful fervor, and with a more direct approach to connecting with the people of this world. ☔
