LISTENING TO - When The Dark Dresses Lightly by Aurora

 

When The Dark Dresses Lightly is the stand out track from Aurora's current album What Happened To The Heart. As the video above demonstrates she is quite a presence when live on stage too. Aurora comes from a long line of Scandinavian female pop artists who mine darkly edged, folky tinged pop, which owe, as ever, a huge debt to our own Kate Bush. Aurora Asknes is a Norwegian singer-song writer and producer, who can turn her hand to writing a fabulously appealing pop tune whilst at the same time being entirely herself, with all the wacky bits on show. The song is apparently about two people in love working out how to find productive way of staying together whilst they work through difficulties that arise.
