AURORA

Verftet Online Music Festival 29.03.20 https://youtu.be/2_IoUzum2s8

Aurora sits at her piano and starts to play Animal Soul as a solo acoustic.
This is a peaceful song describing birth and the idea that our animal soul can hardly find a place in this world of hate. Aurora’s voice is delicate as she touches very high pitched notes.
It makes for a slightly sleepy beginning of a concert, but it sets the atmosphere for the next song.
Aurora turns towards the rest of the band. The drummer joins in almost immediately with the kick drum. He uses brushes on the edges of a snare drum. The guitarist uses a slight Reverb and plays a line based on two notes. Aurora starts to play a well known motive on her piano.
Teardrop by Massive Attack is probably their most famous song. Aurora’s voice is perfect to interpret it. During the chorus she lets it wander, reminding a lot the singing style of Dolores O’ Riordan. It is an extremely powerful performance.

Aurora comes out of the performance status and like a little elf, with her funny English greets the audience.

The next song is Warrior. Silje Sol joins on piano and with support vocals. The guitarist sings as well. The song is so energetic and powerful. It brings tears to my eyes. It is much warmer than the studio version, which is almost drowned in a cold synth-base. The support vocals by Silje Sol makes it in my opinion the best version ever performed.

It is sad to think that she cannot see the reaction from the audience. I was singing along and dancing and I was almost in tears while she was singing Warrior. If this is going to be the future of concerts, one should find a solution to give feedback to the artists from the audience. Maybe a screen the artist can look at while performing. Of course the screen should be moderated, people can do crazy things even on screen, so this shouldn’t disrupt the performance in any way.

All is soft Inside is also performed flawlessly, with its great high-pitched passages. The way Aurora moves, how she shakes around, like a little bird bathing in a pond, it is just so joyful.

She is also great at pep-talking, at supporting her audience during CoVid.
She dedicates Through the Eyes of a Child to them. The lyrics are really evocative and sweet.

In The River, Queendom and The Seed Aurora and Silje Sol perform wonderful harmonizations with their voices. Aurora’s vocalization remind me of a Native American, an imaginary she often refers to. In The Seed she refers to the famous quote by Obomsawin.

She ends her concert with Across the Universe, sang together with the rest of the band.
This was a magic experience.

This was one of the best shows I've been to in a long time. Her voice is amazing that projects from such a tiny body. When the songs play she is full of energy and then when they end and she chats with the audience, she becomes like a mouse with a tiny little voice, so humble. The Gratitude in the air was palpable from both Singer and crowd. And something I've never experience before... During the slow/quiet songs fans were actually shushing the crowd quiet, to the point that i could hear the change being made at the bar (nearly 40 feet away). I hope your experience at her show is as heartwarming as mine was.

It was very nice show. Forum Karlin was sold (8500 people)! The concert had good sound, nice FX lights, nice dancers AND GREAT voice of Aurora, very talented young singer! It was amazing to see this young girl 'driving' whole show with no problems/nervosity. She is not native English speaker, but she is able use this language in her songs very well and it is enought. Successfull almost 2 hours live music show!

Okay, let me just say that this was my first concert that I’ve been to and I already know it’s the best I’ll ever see. AURORA is everything—her live voice is impeccable, her band is flawless, and her personality makes you feel like you’re with friends just watching another friend perform. I have nothing to complain about because this was absolutely the best experience of my life.

Aurora's show was possibly one of the best shows I have or ever will see. The venue itself, Thalia Hall, made the show a treat, but Aurora took it over the top. She truly connects with her fans and her performanceship was vibrant and free. I would recommend this venue and artist to literally everybody. It is a once in a lifetime experience in my opinion.

amazing live! sounds exactly like her studio version. Her voice is like an angel <3 I first discovered her on soundcloud and I was hooked. She even sang a few covers and they were just as good as her own songs. The concert was only 1 hr, but $15 is the best deal I've ever spent considering how amazing her voice is. Aurora slays.

Absolutely amazing show. Aurora has an amazing stage presence for her first international tour, and the live renditions for her songs (especially Winter Bird & Running with the Wolves) far surpassed the studio versions. Very much looking forward to future shows. If you have the opportunity to see her live, do not miss it!!

It was nice to see Aurora return to Toronto for one show at the Danforth Music Hall. She played songs from her latest effort to the delight of many of us. There were no surprises last night as she delivered what we all expected- great music with personality, hip and ideal support from her band. A worthwhile evening.

Really fun concert. Loved AURORA’s energy, and her voice was just as amazing in person as it is recorded. The opening act was great too. AURORA interacted with the crowd and was extremely sweet and kind, sharing stories and inspirational messages with the crowd. I would definitely go again.

It was the best concert in the whole entire world. I got a water from the guitarist and a drumstick from the drummer it was handed to me personally me and I was star stuck she sang beautifully and danced like a goddess it was the absolute best thing ever I will never forget that concert
