What Happened To The Heart?’ marks Aurora’s first full-length project since her 2022 LP ‘The Gods We Can Touch’ (pre-order here).
The singer-songwriter and producer recently told NME about the time 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 record’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.”
