Aura

Good Songs newest signing, Aura, is the new shining star in Scandinavian music. It's obvious that Aura is a true natural talent when it comes to performing live on stage and writing songs. Something she's done with some of the top producers in Denmark. She's already had a hit on danish radio P3 with the single "Something From Nothing" (Pick of the week 25/'07) and there's much more to come - we promise!

We're happy to welcome Aura into the Good Songs family

Wild child, hippie kid, fashion rebel, Flashdance meets hardcore Pocahontas. With her cool chick vocal and wild look French/Ferryen/Danish/Spanish Aura often have people
wondering. But she’s actually from the small Danish rocky Island of Bornholm, trapped in the waters between Southern Sweden, Germany and the Baltic countries. Well, if you ignore the first 7 years of her life that she spent aboard her parent’s boat crossing the oceans of the world. Or the many years she travelled alone in especially Australia. Aura writes all her music and her lyrics her self. Inuences comes from the likes of Dolly Parton, Tracy Chapman, Antony (and the Johnsons) and Jeff Buckley.
Aura is involved in everything from art and photo exhibitions to styling and design. On a good day Aura’s spectacular wardrobe could make a Madonna og Gwen Stefani envious. Which seems to be the reason why she steals the spotlight whenever entering a fancy event. Every day is a gift, and you need to live life to it’s fullest. For better or for worse. When Aura enters the stage with her guitar and her songs you easily starts thinking Feist meets Tracy Chapman meets Shania Twain meets Gwen Stefani. And you can’t help wondering how much there is inside this 22 year old girl. “I write about subjects like incest, suicide, prostitution, homosexuality, and what it must be like to have a dick. But also simple love songs and poems. I want to bring it all, no censorship. I’ll “camouage” it in simple pop melodies and hope that it will reach the masses. I write with humour and
irony and with a wish to make a positive dierence with my music and my voice, my life, while I’m here.”
Aura is a natural on a stage and a star to be. From the stage she hits right in the heart and produces from the beginning an attentive audience. She communicates well with the crowd and tells casually and relaxed about her songs with a humour and a presence that one doesn’t encounter often in other 22 year old girls. “I’m not really completely myself, before I enter the stage.”
The debut album “Columbine” sees Kenneth Bager in the
executive producer chair, while other exciting names on the producer list reads Thomas Troelsen, Mikkel Hess (Hess Is More), Jazzbox aka Per Ebdrup (Camille Jones’ UK Top 10 hit ”Creeps”), Jonas Krag, British Bird and Sune Joensen. Skilled people indeed.
