    On her stunning debut album, All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend, the now-19-year-old channels a similar magical vibe as the art-pop superstar [Björk].

    [The] big pop moments are the most thrilling, moreish moments on All My Demons but there are quieter moments where AURORA also excels.

    Still a teenager at the time of the album's release, Aurora proves to be an already skilled fashioner of dynamic, affecting pop.

    Her songs are a beguiling mix of sizzling synth-pop, and for want of a better phrase, Nordic-folk.

    Few albums meld frank postcards from the psyche with such poppy directness. [Apr 2016, p.93]

    AURORA’s release packs a moody, but unexpectedly positive punch, throwing her amidst a sea of artists who do the same.

    It's not the show-stopping LP some might seek after the strength of the singles, but All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend is more than enough to convince us she's a talent with more than two great songs in her.
