Experience AURORA’s Ethereal New Song ‘A Place To Call Home’ for World Of Warcraft: Midnight

Immerse yourself in AURORA’s ethereal vibes with her new World Of Warcraft: Midnight song, ‘A Place To Call Home,’ blending cinematic soundscapes with themes of belonging.

A Magical Fusion: AURORA Meets World Of Warcraft

If you've ever been enchanted by AURORA’s hauntingly beautiful voice, get ready to be swept away once again. The Norwegian singer-songwriter has released her latest track, ‘A Place To Call Home’, crafted specifically for the upcoming World Of Warcraft: Midnight expansion. This collaboration between AURORA and Blizzard Entertainment's music team is a spellbinding blend of ethereal vocals and an uplifting, cinematic sound that intensifies as the song unfolds.

The song delves deep into the themes of belonging and resilience within the mystical world of Azeroth, serving as a heartfelt anthem for players who find their refuge in this vast universe. With its emotional pull and soaring melodies, it perfectly captures the spirit of Warcraft’s expansive lore.

A Visual Journey: Music Video Bridging Two Worlds

Alongside the release of the track, a music video has also been unveiled. This cinematic piece beautifully intertwines AURORA's artistic vision with the rich, immersive universe of World Of Warcraft. The video captures the essence of the game’s narrative while highlighting the emotional core of AURORA’s song—a celebration of finding a place to belong, even in the most fantastical of realms.

A Growing Tradition: Music and Gaming Collide

This release follows hot on the heels of another World Of Warcraft anthem: Sheffield’s metalcore band Malevolence dropped their track ‘Twelve To Zero’ just a month prior. Blizzard challenged Malevolence to “capture the scale and tension of Midnight” by writing their song in a lightning-fast 12-hour session, showcasing how the game’s epic storytelling inspires diverse musical interpretations.

AURORA’s Ongoing Journey in Music and Gaming

For those who have followed AURORA’s career, this isn’t her first foray into the gaming world. Back in December 2022, she performed a special in-game concert for Sky: Children Of The Light during the game’s Season of AURORA. Players could experience a variety of in-game content inspired by her music—from characters and stories to quests and themed items—creating an immersive fusion of art and gameplay.

Expanding Horizons: Tomora - AURORA and The Chemical Brothers’ New Duo

Recently, AURORA joined forces with Tom Rowlands of The Chemical Brothers to form an exciting new duo called Tomora. Their debut album, COME CLOSER, is slated for release on April 17, with several singles already making waves—‘RING THE ALARM’, ‘THE THING’, ‘COME CLOSER’, and ‘SOMEWHERE ELSE’.

The duo is gearing up for their first live shows at Manchester’s New Century Hall on March 25 and London’s EartH Hackney on March 26, with festival appearances lined up at Coachella, Down The Rabbit Hole, and Norway’s Øya Festival. It’s clear that AURORA is embracing a fresh musical chapter that’s both thrilling and creatively liberating.

Tom Rowlands reflected on their collaboration:

“We got together to make music without any idea that it would lead to anything or that we were even making an album. I just cherished this moment of freedom, creativity and making something great. We didn’t know if we were going to finish or release anything; it was just about being in the studio together.”

In the same spirit, AURORA expressed how much fun they’re having:

“My god, we’re having a lot of fun. It feels so much like we’re back to the roots of why it’s beautiful to make music: there’s no pressure or expectation.”
