AURORA has just shared a cut from the vinyl edition of her latest album, The Gods We Can Touch, ahead of her set at BST this weekend. ‘The Devil Is Human’ sees Aurora at her most magical and mystical, with her trademark haunting vocals as she touches on the over-sexualisation of women.

Here’s what she said about the track:

“We get sexualised by the world, and yet shamed for being sexual. They want to possess you and own you, and even decide what you get to do with your own body. We are not free until all of us are free. The world have tried for many years to burn women who were strong, who were brilliant, brave and free spirited. The devil is human, or apparently the devil is a woman. You can burn the skin we live in, but you cannot burn the witch away. #ourbodyourchoice.” 

On Sunday, she joins Duran Duran, Nile Rodgers & Chic and Laura Mvula at Hyde Park in London for BST.
