AEORA SHOWCASES HER ELECTRIC VOCAL TALENT AND FINDS HER “FREEDOM" IN NEW SINGLE
Melbourne-based Aeora continues to establish herself as one of the most exciting new artists on Australian pop scene with the release of huge new dark, electronic-pop track “Freedom.” Known for her ability to infuse her song-writing talents with her impressive producing capabilities, Aeora is always able to connect her music with her own journey of self-discovery, extending that experience to it’s listener.
Accompanying the powerful vocals and extraordinary layered production, “Freedom,” produced and mixed by Haxx, is all about navigating the often difficult dynamics between relationships and independence. Aeora draws on her own personal experiences of finding her own ‘freedom’ in amongst life’s ever changing moments, and speaks of how “Freedom” came about from them.
LISTEN TO “FREEDOM” HERE
“I was in this really open and freeing time of my life where I was meeting new people and really just living through my intuition. I met my now partner and suddenly that idea of freedom within me got messed around because now I had these very real feelings for someone, and those feelings could sway me in any direction.
The idea of freedom was very integral to how our relationship began. We started in an open relationship, and at the time it could be messy but as whole it really challenged my idea of relationships and my idea of freedom. Ultimately, I think freedom can be defined by our surroundings but I think a lot of it comes from within us. As so lyrically ‘Freedom’ is about all of this and then allowing myself the freedom to just be.”
Aeora also teamed up with producer Haxx on the track, having worked together on several previous projects, their musical partnership falls into a perfect rhythm, creating an enthralling signature sound.
“I think that harmony between both our sounds always creates something slightly different to whatever genre we’re influenced by - it’s never truly pop, never truly electronic and never truly R&B. I really love how we manage to always make something a little different."
“Freedom” is the third release from Aeora this year, following the release of hard-hitting, dark-pop single “Breathe” and “Give It” earlier this year, which was her first release in two years.

Aeora began to write songs on her piano at the tender age of 10, before progressing to singing country and folk music when she was a teenager, and then later producing electronic music on her laptop when she was 19. It was there that she began her journey into developing her own sound, and her own voice.
Since her arrival on the scene in 2016, she has performed at showcases in Sydney, Melbourne and Toronto; then, in 2018, she took a break to step back and hone her craft and sound. April 2020 saw Aeora release her first single in two years, “Give It,” and she has since been working with producers Haxx and Pip Norman (Troye Sivan, CXLOE, Odette).
A singer-songwriter and producer who draws from self-reflection, Aeora’s musical career has developed as a way to cope with trauma, and find new ways to connect with herself and the world around her.
