And he did, for like four hours.AURORA had collaborated with the dance duo before, recording guest vocals for their acclaimed 2019 album ‘No Geography‘, and told NME that year that she left them a little shook up when she got lost in the woods’ during a birthday party of Tom Rowlands’ daughter.“I’m trying to not do that again. The one time I got lost in his garden it was his daughter’s birthday, and this time it was his birthday.
I just love bothering him and his poor family on their birthdays – I never leave them alone. I gave him a cookie wrapped in a napkin that I found on the ground.”‘What Happened To The Heart?’ is set for release on June 7 via Decca Records/Glassnote/Petroleum and marks her first full-length LP since her 2022 release, ‘The Gods We Can Touch’.Ane Brun, Matias Tellez (Girl In Red, Maisie Peters), Tom Rowlands of The Chemical Brothers, Chris Greatti (Yungblud, Blink-182, Pussy Riot), Dave Hamelin (Beyonce, King Princess and Zara Larsson), Magnus Skylstad and more join AURORA on the album, and it is available to pre-order here.AURORA will be on tour in the UK and Europe later this year – see the dates below and

They didn’t think The Tortured Poets Department was good, now they have to be protected like a juror from Trump’s scary followers? That’s awful.
Turns out Joe Alywn didn’t have to be so worried about The Tortured Poets Department. Taylor Swift had her sights WAY more set on Matty Healy the whole time!
