AURORA recently told NME about the time that she asked The Chemical Brothers Tom Rowlands to puke vomit all over a song on the album.
We feel like two little aliens walking around, and we have the same hunger for something exceptional, she said when discussing her work with Rowlands. I m really grateful. I texted him one evening just saying, ˜Tom “ puke vomit all over my song please . And he did, for like four hours.
She also expanded on the album s title and themes, saying: People knew that love is [in the heart], family is here, pain in here; we ve known this for so many years. In ancient indigenous cultures, the heart was a symbol of spirituality: the gateway between us all.
But what happened to the heart? It s the most important, beautiful and sad question I ve ever wondered in my life.
