All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend, the debut album from Norwegian singer-songwriter Aurora, arrived on 11 March 2016 through Decca and Glassnote, and it plays like a synth-pop record that wandered into a fairy tale. She made it with a handful of producers, Odd Martin Skålnes, Magnus Skylstad, Nicolas Rebscher, Alf Lund Godbolt and Electric among them, and carried over two songs from her 2015 EP Running with the Wolves. The electropop is crisp and chilly, threaded with Nordic folk, and the songs go after the big stuff: fantasy, heartache, life and death.
"Conqueror" and "I Went Too Far" kept the singles coming through 2016. Norway took her in fast: the album topped the chart there, went platinum and won Pop Soloist at the 2017 Spellemannprisen, where the "I Went Too Far" video took Music Video of the Year. And it kept giving long after: "Runaway" turned into a sleeper hit years later, and "Through the Eyes of a Child" became a single in 2025 after turning up in the closing scene of Netflix's Adolescence.
