New single Starvation is also coming out today, with a music video going live at 5PM. Above the throbbing techno of the track, AURORA mourns the depletion of the human spirit as a result of technological invasion that is particularly threatening to women.
“Starvation touches on the very heart of the album. The root of the problem the world is in. Our souls are starving, and therefore I think it’s hard for people to truly connect with the world. Our food makes us sick. The news makes us worried, but passive. Our work makes us uninspired by life. We bully strangers on the internet. And we connect to other humans mostly through that very same medium. We can see people getting killed on our phones while we go on about our day. Something is seriously wrong.” says AURORA about the new single.
In April 2022, AURORA read a letter that changed her life. It was co-written by indigenous activists, titled ‘We Are the Earth’, and called for a revolution: a collective response to global warming – to “heal the land”. They described being connected to the land “through our hearts”, and the earth as “the heart that pulsates within us.” The letter led AURORA to consider a question: what happened to the heart? And so 27-year-old Norwegian alt-pop superstar AURORA began studying books on human anatomy, wanting to understand when and why Western culture lost touch with the deeper purpose of our most vital organ.
What Happened To The Heart? is a journey from weakness to strength, from self-destruction to self-healing. A poignant and introspective musical journey that explores the loss of spiritual connection in modern society, the healing power of vulnerability, and the call to ignite change through reuniting the heart with politics and personal growth.
What Happened To The Heart? is now available in digital, CD, limited laminated fanpack CD edition and 3 different 2LP editions here.
