Aurora really needs to get better at promoting herself. Recently I’d heard something about her putting out a new song (I do follow her on social media), so I went over to her YouTube channel and promptly discovered she’s put out several new songs in the last year and has an album coming out in a few days.

At least it’s a pleasant surprise.

Anyway, one of the most interesting things she’s done recently is that she’s put out a small selection of songs in her native Norwegian. Up to now, she’s only sung in English.

Of those, my favourite is definitely Stjernestøv. Something about it gives me Lord of the Rings vibes.

While I liked a lot of their earlier stuff, it’s been a while since Imagine Dragons put out anything that really grabbed me.

This, though… this I like. The raw emotion is palpable.
