I fell in love with this track as a chilling, forlorn acoustic ballad full of haunting vocals and beautifully restrained guitar, it almost sounded as if Death were in the same room. Therefore it’s probably taken me about twenty listens to get used to the single version. The song, of course, is Aurora’s “Murder Song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1)” as you probably gathered by the big title telling you so.
Of course the track is still icy, I doubt Aurora knows anything different but it’s not acoustic at all, the melancholic guitar plucks becoming soaring synths and the effortless, sombre tone is suddenly full on monster pop hit, there’s massive electronic choruses full of with glitchy electronic choruses and Aurora’s vocals are bolder than ever before, whilst perhaps losing some of the emotion it triple confirms the future star billing of 2015’s finest new talent.
