It was only fitting that when the northern lights stretched high across Northeastern skies back in the spring, AURORA unveiled her North American tour, appropriately dubbed the What Happened To The Earth? Part 2 Tour. Now after several months of starry-eyed anticipation, the Norwegian electronic-pop songwriter and producer tonight (December 4) brings her ethereal sounds to Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway, helping close out a year that delivered new album What Happened To The Heart? in June.
The Glassnote Records, Decca Records, and Petroleum release has been augmented by a string of singles, including the glowing “Some Type of Skin,” which can be heard below.
AURORA declares this new album her “most personal and cathartic album” to date, adding: “Though its precise function and anatomy were not clearly understood, the heart was believed to be the centre of the soul. Of intuition. Of emotion and intention. Until we decided these were qualifications of the mind. Emotion overpowered by logic. And with the world being so corrupted by money, power and selfishness you cannot help but ask yourself – what happened to the heart?”
We’ll find out tonight.
AURORA + BIIG PIIG :: Wednesday, December 4 at MGM Music Hall at Fenway, 2 Lansdowne St. in Boston, MA :: 8 p.m., all ages, $35 to $55 :: Event info :: Advance tickets
