ANDREW UNTERBERGERīefore she became the disembodied voice floating throughout all of Frozen 2, Aurora released one of her most definitive albums to date in 2019, A Different Kind of Human. “Come around our house/ We don’t lock the door.” Sounds nice. “I think I want to settle down/ But weirder,” Lora-Faye Åshvud declares on Brooklyn avant-pop outfit Arthur Moon’s delightfully jagged single “Homonormo.” That’s the goal - both in life and in pop music, where the group’s queasy beats, woozy synths, Cheshire-cat-grinning vocals and lyrics about a simpler life outside the Big Apple explore a domesticity that remains challenging, without ever having to be externally challenged by society. The simple production, powerful lyrics and Ames’ haunting voice make this a must add to any and all happy-sad playlists. If you’re looking a song to ugly cry to, look no further than Ames’ “Mama It’s Me.” The most emotionally-touching song off of her stunning debut EP My Name Is Ames, “Mama” sees the singer-songwriter participating in a one-sided conversation with her mother, letting her know that she has nothing to worry about, and that her daughter is safe and happy.
