    This is the first AURORA album I listened to. Honestly I didn't enjoy this album that much. I can't connect with some tracks. I love the production but I don't like how some tracks were written. As much as I enjoyed the production, I don't find the lyrics very communicating.

    The Gods We Can Touch feels like a very round pop record, a little bit of everything for everyone, and it's been smartly complemented by great visuals (the video for "Cure for Me" is mesmerizing) and an impeccable production job by Magnus Skylstad, who doubles down as a drummer in her live performances, and multi-instrumentalist and producer Matias Tellez. Definitely a strong contender for one of the most interesting pop albums of the year.

    It's hard not to wonder whether Aksnes has been crowded-out on her own album [Mar 2022, p.83]

    These songs are her most heartfelt to date, reaching into the depths of her character. The influence of Björk is occasionally audible, but so are inflections from as far afield as Enya and composer Karl Jenkins. Yet Aurora is very much herself, one of the most exciting female singers around – and The Gods We Can’t Touch adds another set of strings to her generously filled bow.
