Many have compared her tunes to those of female singer-songwriter greats Ingrid Michaelson, Sara Bareilles, and Regina Spektor. But what sets Auroras work apart is its distinct theatrical qualities. The Daily Album describes her debut EP Its Wonderful as modern female songwriting with a theatrical flair. Her lyrics are playful and quirky, yet soulful and dark, bringing out the contrast of her strong but feminine identity. In live performance there is a delicacy and vulnerability that are both rare and captivating. auroraflorence.bandcamp.com

Even better, see it live.
