“In honour of my first born being 10 years of age on March 11, I have decided to release another book. This book will be a bit different, since I could not for the life of me find the original book of thoughts and poems surrounding my first album. But I searched and I scrambled,” AURORA said.
“Through hundreds of other notebooks and photographs. And for most of the pieces included, I wrote down what I could remember of stories and emotions surrounding the journey this album took me on. I hope you like it. ‘Cause I like you.”
She also shared a new post on Instagram promoting the book, adding that it shares a snapshot of “everything that went on in my heart, my mind, and my body around the time I wrote my first album”. She also joked that it was “a really nice experience writing this book”, she is prepared to “kill” anyone who mistakes the moth on the front cover for a butterfly.
“It’s been an absolute delight to enter AURORA’s world once more to create ‘All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend’. This is the third book we have produced with AURORA alongside Decca/Fontana, and all have been a wonderfully creative and collaborative process, demonstrating why she is such a unique talent,” said Lucy Holliday, Creative Director, Faber Music.
“To date, we’ve sold over 26,000 copies of AURORA’s books and hope to excite her fanbase once again with this new publication.”
The new announcement comes just two weeks after the singer announced a new concert film called What Happened To The Earth?, which captures her biggest headline show to date in Mexico City, where she played a sold-out show for 18,000 fans at the Palacio de los Deportes.
As for new music, AURORA’s latest album ‘What Happened To The Heart?’ dropped in 2024 and was praised by NME as showing her “leading by example with a dazzling world of her own”.
Since then, the singer has joined forces with The Chemical Brothers’ Tom Rowlands to form a new band, TOMORA. In December, they dropped their debut single ‘Ring The Alarm’, and have since been confirmed as playing Coachella, Down The Rabbit Hole, Open’er, Sziget and more festivals across this summer.
