Norwegian singer-songwriter Aurora has released five studio albums, one compilation album, one soundtrack album, seven extended plays (including five compilation EPs), 51 singles (including twelve as a featured artist), twelve promotional singles and 27 music videos.
Aurora released her debut extended play (EP), Running with the Wolves in May 2015 through Decca Records. A song from the EP, "Runaway", became a sleeper hit in 2021 charting in numerous single charts internationally, including the US Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles. Later that year, she provided the backing track for the John Lewis Christmas advert, singing a cover of the Oasis song "Half the World Away", which reached number 11 in the UK. In March 2016, Aurora released her debut studio album All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend, which included previous singles "Runaway", "Running with the Wolves" and "Half the World Away". It charted in various European countries and earned platinum certification two times in Norway. It was preceded by four additional singles: "Murder Song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1)", "Conqueror", and "I Went Too Far".
In 2018, she released her second studio album Infections of a Different Kind (Step 1), which spawned the singles "Queendom" and "Forgotten Love". Aurora's follow-up album, A Different Kind of Human (Step 2), was released in June 2019. The single "Apple Tree" saw minor chart success as a remix. As of July 2021, Aurora has sold over 1 million album-equivalent units worldwide.
