Vocal Coach/Musician Reacts: AURORA Infections Of A Different Kind Part 1 

Infections Of A Different Kind Part 1 and 2 was arranged and produced with minimal help from others by Aurora, watching a documentary about her and it was obvious she was under a lot of pressure from record company and management about the mix and arrangement and not least that it should contain a so called radio hit. But this girl stood her ground and the result is this stunner of a record :-)

*TIME STAMPS* 0:44 - Queendom 2:43 - Forgotten Love 4:43 - Gentle Earthquakes 6:32 - All Is Soft Inside 8:50 - It Happened Quiet 10:20 - Churchyard 11:56 - Soft Universe 13:02 - Infections Of A Different Kind

I'm beginning to think Aurora is this era's Bob Dylan. Her lyrics are brilliant.

After waiting for 86 years, I've finally come across your reaction to the Album of The Decade. Anyway, this EP was ethereal. Lyrically introspective, sonically out-of-this-world, vocally eargasmic, and artistically unique. People need to stop sleeping on AURORA. This EP is Björk's album Vespertine's little sister (which you also need to react to if you haven't already). I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as we all do, and thank you for dedicating your time to experience AURORA's music in full! I'm very pumped to see your "A Different Kind of Human (Step 2)" reaction! ❤

This album was my first exposure to AURORA and I instantly fell in love. Forgotten Love was actually my top Spotify song of 2019 too.

yes everything about Aurora is spiritual. her music isn't just entertainment, it's meant to awaken something in you. she has inspired so much hope in me

She has become in my top five all time singers, and I'm 49. she impresses me so much. I love everything that she does. Every song is meaningful.

waiting step 2 already.

AURORA's "Infections of A Different Kind" EP Timestamps: #1: Queendom - 0:44 #2: Forgotten Love - 2:44 #3: Gentle Earthquakes - 4:43 #4: All Is Soft Inside (my personal favorite) - 6:42 #5: It Happened Quiet - 8:50 #6: Churchyard - 10:19 #7: Soft Universe - 11:55 #8: Infections of A Different Kind (title track) - 13:05 Enjoy :))

Queendom is something else

Nina you need to watch HAIK documentary and concert. This live version of Infections of a Different Kind is magical.

Omg yes this is a reaction I didn’t realise I needed 🔥

Thanks Nina. My favourite reactor reacting to my favorite album by my favourite artist :-). Strongly suggest All is Soft Inside at the KEXP concert to hear how she brings this studio perfection to life. You asked if she had someone she worked with in particular. I believe she does a lot of the production together with Magnus (the percussionist) in her band. Though he did complain in the documentary that he was basically relegated to ‘just a drummer’ as Aurora had such strong ideas about the production. This is very much more her album than All my Demons ... and you can hear it in how it sounds. Again in the documentary you can see how much she has to fight with the record company and her manager to get her vision across. They are pushing for more ‘radio hits’ and she is pushing back strongly. Quite inspiring actually. KEXP link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IS2iVcGz_Ok.html

A masterpiece

- Omg thank you so much for your reaction💙

AuRoRa's work is on another level. Amazing young lady!

Queendom is a statement, It happened Quiet a masterpiece. Of course they even blossom more in her live performances.

Yapp! That was the nicest and most interesting reaction and analys of my ever favorite album for a long, long time. Thank you dear. Make my friday for sure. I understand why but i would hear the hole album reaction It was that good. Stay healty and safe.

I like Aurora in many ways and stands out a lot: she does not conform with Pop trends. Also I like she hates some Pop with that horrible snare beat and vocal auto-tunes. Also she has created music her self from a young age with her piano. She is very open-minded, expressing how she loves Metal and created a track called Under Stars, dedicated to all the Metal people. It is no surprise, as she is from Norway, where the Black Metal scene came from. She has also done some impressive work with a Norwegian Folk band live called Wardruna.

part 1 is for get ready, part 2 is the really journey :)

Yes! Finally 😊 I requested this way back. Love your way of breaking down the production of the tracks. To answer your question about the arrangement. Aurora is heavily involved in the production. She often produce her songs together with her drummer/producer Magnus. On this album she also had help from a couple of guys she trusts to help her. But she has the final say 😊 can't wait for step 2.

Magnus Skylstad is one of her producers since the very begining. Funny enough, he is also the drummer in every live performance.

My favorite song in this album is the title track, followed by Soft Universe. Can’t wait for your reaction to the Step 2 which has my three all time favorite Aurora songs. It’s a masterpiece.

Oh my god, its happening! I waited so long for this moment

Nice, I love her work and this album is so well done, great productions, lyrics, the music, the arrangements and the production is awesome.......and she is involved in every bit of it, she's a perfectionist and she has such a tremendous sense of visuals, she takes care of everything, she wants it done her way........she is tiny, but extremely powerful, she's wise and she has the gift of transporting you to another place or dimension asides of touching your soul core with her Love and Magic.

I got into AURORA this year and is one of the best things I could've done! This is my favourite album by her, I think my favourite song is Soft Universe or All Is Soft Inside, but I really love every song!

Great to see you doing this stunner of an album. Very interesting to listen to your comments. Could we hope to see you reacting to a couple of live performances before you go to Step 2? I'd suggest "Forgotten love" live at Lindmo at "All is Soft Inside" live at KEXP. Aurora live at her best!! And btw, "Queendom" is an awesome video.

I love how you catch up many details I never caught before , like explaining things in background. It makes me really enjoy listening AURORA'S work more as I recognize those layers. And I wanna put more attention to other artists' works as well

YES! FINALLY!! Thank you Nina

YES

The only reaction that I was wanting more than this is Sevdaliza's Shabrang, and if someday you want to listen, you will not regret it. Love you and your reactions Nina ♥️

Yes More AURORA reaction... 😍🤘🔥🔥 Next A Different Kind Of Human Part 2

pleaaaaseee nina react Aurora Soft Universe live in Nidarosdomen

Yay, thank you so much for reacting to our queen

Oh. My. God. It's finally here!

I know this might be a long shot, but I would love to see a video of you and Aurora talk about her music/composition together. Compered to other reactors, you really have a good ear and detect more then others I have seen. Aurora has done many interviews online and if you ask..maybe it will happen! Then you can find out for your self how much of a musical genius she really is. And we(viewers) will have another great Aurora interview to react to :) You deserved a sub after this one.

To get a glimpse of how she produced this album, check out the documentary title Once Aurora. I thinks it’s $10 USD on Vimeo. You will also get a glimpse of who she is.

Thank you Nina! That was a wonderful reaction. Could we get some live performances before you go on to step 2? I think you would enjoy watching how she performs the songs from this album - it takes them to an entirely higher level. Also, no two performances of any of her songs are quite the same.

Dudeee, this EP is full of gems!! The only one I'm not that crazy about is queendom, but I understand its importance.

I've been waiting for this for sooooooo long

I had some important things to do, but then I saw the title, and they weren't that important anymore. Nice reaction/analysis, I can't wait for part 2.

thank you so much for your reaction

Honestly, the more I get to know her music and find out more about her, the more I think she experiences the world musically. She is definitely neurodivergent and just like some people experience the world in colours, Aurora experiences sounds, rythyms, frequencies and vibrations. She is an absolute genius. A savant I feel. She's absolutely wonderful 💗

Second part please, I love your videos

YAY THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!

It's heeeeerrrreeee!

OMG FINALYYYY I LOVE YOUUUU

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE

GURLIE IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SOO LOOOONG WHERE IS PART TWO ?????????

I love that you finally decided to do this album. I feel like her work can be challenging but rewarding. It really helps the listener to have someone who makes sense of the vocal through the whole of the production. I believe you are the only vocal coach/ reactor who has a thoroughly holistic viewpoint when it comes to understanding and appreciating music. I learn a great deal especially when you tackle the totality of an album. Thank you

Pt 2 pretty please ❤

plz do her part two

💜💜💜

YES! THANK YOU! 😍

The River is everything 😭

Its hard to pick a favorite. It changes back and forth. Great reaction. I really enjoyed seing it.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, finally

Wonderful! Are you going to do part 2 too??

React to Part 2!!! Plzzz

if you like soundscapes like these i highly recommend Melodrama by Lorde. One of the best albums of all time!

Thank you for a good reaction to our Queen Aurora. 😊 I checked your videos and couldn't find Angelina Jordan on it.. 😏 I think she will be right up your ally. Her latest originals are Million miles and 7th heaven. She has also made a beautiful cover of Adeles All I ask. You will not regret it, and she has a big fanbase too. 😊

aaaaaaaaaaaa thx for reacting to aurora albumm

Loved your reaction; as a fetus musician it was really interesting listening to you!

gentle earthquakes are cough cough orgasms 😄, if you check the lyrics this makes more sense

You should really use head phones for your enjoyment

In the original version, not recorded or released so to speak, all her songs are more like "Infections of a different kind" the last song on the album. Just Aurora and her piano.

Love the video! You should listen to Heartbreak Anniversary by Givēon. I think you’ll love it and his vocals are just mesmerizing.

💐💌🌠

you should react to iu's new album lilac

Amazing how few professional musicians reacting, cannot recognize a thumb piano as the plinking sound in a few of her songs. Such a common instrument. 🤔

Churchyard - very like Kate bush

Please react to Regine Velasquez sing Hit me baby one more time (freedom concert 2021)

Please react to Bebe Rexha's new single "Sabotage" it's AMAZING!!❤❤🎶
