The Gods We Can Touch
AURORA | Decca, Glassnote
In a statement about her upcoming third studio album, AURORA said “The spiritual door between the human and the gods is a very complicated thing”. The Gods We Can Touch is a joyful album and a step in a new direction for the Norwegian singer, as she looks through the lens of Greek mythology on each thoughtful and heartfelt track.
