    The debut album of AURORA is an electropop, folk, electronic, synth-pop, Nordic-folk and alternative pop record. Her voice and messages are hitting hard.

    Such a great debut album, one of the best debut albums from alt-pop artists, especially the ones who debuted in 10s

    She can write such profound, deep, meaningful lyrics at such a young age. I'm very impressed. She's definitely the future of music.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. And to think that this album came out when she was only 17 years old, without a doubt she is a completely unique goddess and artist, her lyrics, her rhythms, her aesthetics, everything is done with a lot of work. This album in particular takes us into a magical world with a dark touch and **** beautiful everything that she transmits.… Expand

    A great debut album that, by far, explores the deepest feelings from a teenage mind. I hope that Aurora have a great future in music industry.

    On a first listen Auroras frail voice and perspective can give a rather childish impression. Don't be fooled. This is an amazing album. Its deep and dark theme matches perfectly the soft crystalline voice of the artist. Listening to a message of despair while blissfully curling up in a sofa with an expression of serene pleasure on your face is a listening experience to relish.

    Auroras style of dreamy dark synth-pop flavored with what I think is best described as viking-folk is addictive as it is mesmerizing. Do not miss this album.    … Expand

    Com um mixer de natureza e tecnologia, Aurora toca a todos com uma voz doce. Descendente direta de Jonna Lee. Aurora vai salvar o futuro do pop art. Que venha o segundo álbum.

    Aurora's voice brings a subtlety as an angel singer. The album features intense lyrics and the style of bjork is very striking. The instrumental part is well done, it is amazing how you are not in consciousness listening to the album.

    Um álbum espetacular. A parte lírica é grandiosamente emocional, envolvendo situações que nos fazem refletir. AURORA é uma cantora que merece muito ser mundialmente reconhecida.

    Uma das melhores coisas que conheci em 2017. Minhas músicas preferidas são Warrior e Winter Bird. O álbum dela é maravilhoso, me emociono bastante com as suas músicas. Fiquei encantando com a sua voz, as letra das músicas e principalmente suas performances ao vivo. Me sinto tão bem ouvindo o álbum, ela passa uma calma e tristeza ao mesmo tempo. Já amo, I'm a Warrior.

    Such an amazing album. Her voice, wrapped with the simple backtrack makes every song sound absolutely breathtaking. You can feel the emotion seeping from almost every track, especially on Murder Song (Acoustic), which features a tear or two if you listen at night! Winter Bird is another amazing song, which uses winter as a metaphor in such a beautiful way. But the bonus tracks are alsoSuch an amazing album.

    Incrivelmente pessoal, delicado e tocante. AURORA não nos mostra sua voz, mas seu corpo, sua alma e sua arte. Um álbum sem igual, capaz de encantar até as mais duras rochas.

    I slept twice times listening to this album! AURORA really showed that she actually have talent, but I still think her type of music is too different for me.

    Still a teenager at the time of the album's release, Aurora proves to be an already skilled fashioner of dynamic, affecting pop.

    It's not the show-stopping LP some might seek after the strength of the singles, but All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend is more than enough to convince us she's a talent with more than two great songs in her.

    Her songs are a beguiling mix of sizzling synth-pop, and for want of a better phrase, Nordic-folk.
