Aurora let "Cure for Me" loose in July 2021, the second single from The Gods We Can Touch, her fourth album, which followed in 2022 on Decca and Glassnote. The Norwegian songwriter wrote and produced it with Magnus Skylstad, who plays drums and bass synth and recorded it, while she takes the organ and synthesizer herself and Alexander von Mehren adds drum machine.
It's electropop with a disco strut, slipping in a piece of Ary Barroso's "Aquarela do Brasil", and it points straight at conversion therapy: inspired by that and by the LGBT community, it insists there is nothing to cure in simply being yourself. Critics heard a playful swerve from her earlier records and a carnival in the production, some reaching for Madonna, and she co-directed the masked-dancer video with Sigurd Fossen.
