She almost missed her piano cue and laughed at herself a bit. I love that they kept the imperfect performance. Vevo performances are usually polished and it's perfectly Aurora to leave in a little mishap like that. And YES. I absolutely recommend listening to the full album. It's a very special and personal album. Some of her best work, IMO.
No, she wasn't ad-libbing in the middle, she forgot that she was supposed to be playing the piano at that point. Earlier she was slow at getting into the song after some vocalisations. The end could well be an ad-lib, Fedrick was certainly confused by it 😆 About this performance she said: 'I just didn't know whether I wanted to sing, dance or play the piano' (more or less, the quote is out there). The album version is different so yes, do the album from start to finish ... it will blow your mind 🤯
I really love this performance - she's clearly comfortable and having fun and the the person behind the camera did a great job of capturing her probably-unplanned wandering around. She has definitely grown more comfortable with her lower register and uses it a lot on this album. I'd highly recommend doing the full album reaction when you can. Normally, I suggest going for as many of her live performances as possible, but the production on the album is pretty good and I suspect it'll be a while before there are excellent live versions of most of the songs available. If you're looking to do another live song from this album first, she recorded a version of A Soul With No King in the same session as this video; it's solid and sounds different than the album version, so you'll have something new when you listen to the full album.
I also realllly love the vevo live of ‘A soul with no king’!! Filmed st the same time yet with a wildly different energy. So I highly recommend that, and whole album too definitely!
The new album is fire! Do the whole thing If you can. I'm sittning in my campervan in Kristiansand Norway. Waiting for the concert this evening with Aurora.She is performing here in a festival outdoors in a beautiful park.(Ravnedalen) I drove here from Sweden 12h..it's totally worth it. Shin on and thank you for a great reaction. Cheers from a finn in Sweden ( Norway today)😃
Of course I recommend. Her every album is like a journey :). I mean all her albums are great but she always surprise me which each new one (she always evolving and changing at last I feel in this way) but still is able to make it in the way I love :)
Yes, great reaction and full album would be awesome, be aware though, the album is very diverse. This perfomance is one of my many favorites of her live performances, Soul With No King same day is also one of those for me. Thanks Matt.
Gonna see her live in DC on December 8th. Gonna drive 15 hours just to watch her! I can’t wait. I’m going by myself bc I can’t find anyone to go with me. That’s so out of my comfort zone, but I’ll be with my tribe of people there. So there’s comfort in that.
Always nice to see you back with Aurora 👍 I absolutely love this song and performance, beautiful and playful😍 It’s a stripped down version. She almost forgot playing piano, and she said “I simply cannot decide if I want to play the piano or dance. I simply CANNOT” A full album reaction would’ve been awesome, I love her new album😍❤️ If you do it, could you please do the music videos where there is one? See you on the next Aurora reaction, hopefully soon🥰
Yes she did have a growth 6 months ago , about 3" .As you can see her feet have also grown , 2 sizes bigger but she didnt have time to buy new ones before the filming hence the bare feet.
You could tell she really had fun with this performance! It's a pretty serious song, lyrically, so it's cool to see her balance that with a bit of fun. This is one song that she actually performed live (not this) prior to the single and album release, and she was already having fun performing it. She joked to one crowd that she might have peed herself a little bit hitting those high notes at the end, but in a kind of sexy way. 😂🤣 You should absolutely do a full album reaction. I think the album is absolutely fantastic. If it's a bit too much for your schedule, you could always break it up, but I'm down for watching one long video too. There are four official music videos (so far) from the album, and I'd highly recommend doing those if and when you do the album reaction.
Thank you for your super reaction video, Matt. To get 'a taste' from one of Aurora's current performances, please have a look/listen to this absolute stunner, which is pro-filmed. Aurora and her band are on top of their game at this Danish festival. There are a number of the current album songs that translate really well to festival performances.

Yes, she seems taller now because Frederik is standing on his knees while he's playing. And yes, she has adopted the old medieval hairstyle called "barbuta", from one of the many helmets medieval footsoldiers were used to wear (the helmet is the only true thing in this paragraph... I guess?), but usually in more southern countries than in Scandinavia I think. Magneto, from Marvel comics, wore one, but I'm not sure about his bangs under it🙂... it's very... well... gorgeous... HOW-DARE-YOU!!!😀 More seriously, she matures in an excellent way, her and her living art. Her spontaneous ways to perform evolve a lot, but her renditions are still sky high, especially in this simplest form. And her voice, what a voice... Thanks for reacting to Aurora, this endearing and talented artist who keeps growing in her marvelous way.🙂👍
This one is just a joy, mistakes and all😊. I love these stripped Vevo versions. Sounds so good with just her on keyboard and with the amazing Fredrik on strings/pedals, but then again that's normally enough with Aurora. So many great versions of her older songs with just her and Odd Martin (first guitar player) on guitar and harmonies. Hope you do the album one day, but totally understand it's quite a bit of work. Expect the unexpected! Very well produced, and the lyrics...
I think much of her musical style comes for the diversity of her influences. I've heard her mention, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, indigenous Norwegian music and heavy metal as some of her favorites.
The official music video is more powerful, but this one is so much fun because Aurora is being just so playful. Yes, def missed her keyboard cue and rode it out in fun and like a true professional. I love when she missed her cues or forgets lyrics. She's so funny in those moments.

The album is very far from the stripped Vevo versions. To be honest I didn't like the album at all. Most songs are good when listening to stripped down live versions like the Vevo and the fan live recording from Oslo. On the album the production of the first half is either demo quality, too much pop or too much voice effects for my taste. The second darker part is a lot better, if you can stand the dance/techno/rave influences, which get worse at the end of some songs.

She wrote on instagram about this Vevo video:
"I simply cannot decide if I want to play the keyboard or dance. I simply CANNOT."
The hair is an Aurora thing! Love it and that she is herself!😊

Will do!
You hear the quaver at "disappear" where she's like "oh right, keyboard, oops". Love it. ❤
She was laughing because she forgot to play the keyboard, she wanted to dance 😂
I love her 💜💜💜 And the new album is INCREDIBLE 💜

I think I'm going to make that happen.
Her live performance in this exact same room of 'A soul with no king' is amazing too!
Well they add a green tint to the lighting on a soul with no king
I second this!!!
I also realllly love the vevo live of ‘A soul with no king’!! Filmed st the same time yet with a wildly different energy. So I highly recommend that, and whole album too definitely!
I'll check it out!
Please react to her live vevo performance a soul with no king!
Great reaction. Thank you. I would watch a full album reaction, even one a 90+ minute. I think it will blow your socks off! Please do it!
What an incredible free spirit
yes yes please the whole album.

Yes do the whole album
You really should do the full album. It’s a rollercoaster ride
I'm waiting for the full album reaction, you promised 😂

I think she sometimes forgets how tall she should be when she changes into her human form. She forgot to play the keyboard too.
@@davidplanet3919 Shapeshifter. Hilarious
Shapeshifter Aurora, hilarious 😅
Always nice to see you back with Aurora 👍
I absolutely love this song and performance, beautiful and playful😍
It’s a stripped down version.

Great reaction and great artist! The new album is esquisite! Start at the beginning!👍👏🙏🏼
yeeeeees full albm!!!!! is amazing!! en so much styles! ♥ great reax!

+1 on the new album, but if you want just another track from it in the meantime, another live Vevo "A Soul With No King" is magical.
That haircut is anime-style and, um, makes her look taller 😮
Please consider a reaction to her Hiak Special. Please please.
if you like her music, i just like you to listen to the album. with or without a reaction, that's on you. thanks for your reaction.
Nothing false about this girl. True honest woman , pure soul.
agreed
Do react to the album, but do it in a tempo that suits you. It is a lot of songs.
The official music video is more powerful, but this one is so much fun because Aurora is being just so playful. Yes, def missed her keyboard cue and rode it out in fun and like a true professional. I love when she missed her cues or forgets lyrics. She's so funny in those moments.
Please react to her ft on BMTH's "Limousine"
Thanks ❤
Please do reaction to full album, i like your reaction to Aurora 🍀🍀🍀
I think her voice didn't het lower, it got fuller and bigger
Album is great but like every song of her 😂 live or studio doesn’t matter and every live version is different and beautiful in its own way.
Agreed
Aurora is a strong advocate for a ceasefire in Gaza and made this song partly because of what's happening to the people in Gaza
Interesting. What about what’s also happening to Israelis?
Tf???!!! Glad i found this comment before I watched your video it disgusts me that i was about to give a Zionist views
