AURORA's "Half The World Away" cover turns an Oasis song into a wistful piano ditty with a constellation of quality influences. The track strikes me as noirish Lana Del Rey torch song performed with Tobias Jesso Jr.'s doe-eyed innocence and a microscopic pinch of Joanna Newsom's vocal creak. It's like something out of a Disney cartoon about a doomed lounge singer. The 18-year-old Norwegian made an instant impression on me, and not just because of the striking visuals in the accompanying video, but those are quite pretty too, as you'll see.
