Norwegian alternative pop songstress AURORA has returned to reveal her latest single "Cure For Me" via Glassnote Records. The track stands as an alluring and enchanting reminder of what power the 25 year old beholds. AURORA is now pushing things forward like never before - see, she isn't just a singer, but a warrior, a sage and a protector. "Cure For Me" is taking a new up-beat stance, featuring AURORA's signature soft yet soaring vocals, and builds to a darkly hued carnivalesque chorus.
"Cure For Me" saw its World First premiere on Apple Music 1, alongside an interview with Zane Lowe, AURORA is also featured as the global cover of New Music Daily. Written in Australia by the pop chanteuse, the song is about breaking free from shame and shutting out the doubters.
"Sometimes I feel like the whole world Is trying to convince you something is wrong with you," explained AURORA. "And sadly often people believe this to be true. It is very scary how easy it is for someone to convince you that you are wrong. Or that you are overly emotional, too strange, and not good enough. And I think it's about time we shut those voices out. Because in no way should anyone convince you that you are not worthy because of the way you look, or act, believe in or love. We should be allowed to be human. And we don't need a cure for it."
With cryptic majestic scenery, the carnival themed video clip is a perfect pair for "Cure For Me." Reminiscent of a mirror maze at night, the visual feature elevates the funfair flared track to the next level - almost as mesmerizing as AURORA as an artist herself.
AURORA has proven herself a well versed triple threat; singer, songwriting and producing. Since bursting onto the scene in 2015 with her debut EP, "
Running With The Wolves." Since then,
AURORA has amassed over 20 million monthly listeners on Spotify, accomplished a whopping 2.5 billion overall streams and 1 million+ global album sales.

music.
