AURORA – THE GODS WE CAN TOUCH
“A long long time ago, Eve took a bite of a forbidden apple hanging from the tree gifted knowledge of evil and good, it was forbidden. But in her act of doing so, she granted humans free will. I just think that is very beautiful. And I wanted to honour her and women like her, who little by little granted us freedom in this world. A freedom to live as we please, to explore and taste. I think life should be lived in all of its colours, and that is why we live like heathens.”
AURORA’s new album The God’s We Can Touch is out Jan 21st!
