AURORA recently told NME about the time that she asked The Chemical Brothers’ Tom Rowlands to “puke vomit all over” a song on the album. 

“We feel like two little aliens walking around, and we have the same hunger for something exceptional,” she said when discussing her work with Rowlands. “I’m really grateful. I texted him one evening just saying, ‘Tom – puke vomit all over my song please’. And he did, for like four hours.” 

She also expanded on the album’s title and themes, saying: “People knew that love is [in the heart], family is here, pain in here; we’ve known this for so many years. In ancient indigenous cultures, the heart was a symbol of spirituality: the gateway between us all.” 

“But what happened to the heart? It’s the most important, beautiful and sad question I’ve ever wondered in my life.”
