Norwegian alt-pop singer Aurora Aksnes, who’s widely known by her musical mononym AURORA, has unveiled a new synth-pop banger entitled “Some Type of Skin.” The epic, life-affirming track begins simply enough with pulsing synths keeping the beat beneath AURORA’s voice. The track explodes, though, during the chorus, which the singer cues with a Björk-like yelp (I promise this isn’t merely a comparison yielded from their shared roots of cold European countries).
Regarding the song, AURORA said: “I’ve always been told that I should build some type of skin. I’ve always let myself merge too much with the world, not really knowing where the world ends and I begin. This song screams the muchness of it. And it’s delicious. Being human is really delicious, even though it’s more than any of us can handle. My god it’s a lot.”
Yummy yummy. Check out the video (which AURORA co-directed with Kaveh Nabatian) below, and stream the track here.
