A week after the release of her latest single, 'Some Type Of Skin' charting as BBC Radio 1’s Hottest Record, AURORA is back with a new album due to release on 7th June.

The album title is inspired by a letter co-written by indigenous activists, titled We Are the Earth, which called for a collective response to global warming. It described the earth as “the heart that pulsates within us,” eventually influencing AURORA to name her album What Happened to the Heart.

Written and recorded between Norway, Germany and London, AURORA describes this record as 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?”

The album sees previous and new collaborators joining the Norwegian star, such as Ane Brun, Matias Tellez (girl in red, Maisie Peters), Tom Rowlands of The Chemical Brothers, Chris Greatti (Yungblud, Blink-182, Pussy Riot), Dave Hamelin (Beyonce, King Princess and Zara Larsson) amongst others, but also Magnus Skylstad, who has been with her since her first album.

AURORA has also announced a series of eleven UK and Europe dates for the autumn, including a show at the Royal Albert Hall in London on October second. Tickets will go on general sale on 5th April. For more information, click here.
