Her idol: Bob Dylan. Because, she says, "if a song is easy to play on the guitar, you know it's good". It's the Dylan gene: that every song must first and foremost be just that, a song. Aura Dione is Denmark's most successful songwriter, a pop musician of the first order, petite and self-confident, with a flair for fashionable elegance and a weakness for beautiful shoes. She is now coming to Germany in them with her new album.
Where she already had her first number 1 hit in 2008, "I Will Love You Monday" achieved platinum status, reached the top 10 in many European countries and the video has already been viewed more than 100 million times. The second single "Song For Sophie" spent 22 weeks in the German charts, where her third single, "Something From Nothing", also remained.
Three years later, Aura Dione reached number 1 in the charts in Germany again with "Geronimo". The only other Danish woman ever to achieve this - to place two top songs in the neighboring country - was Gitte, pop star of the 60s ("Ich will nen Cowboy als Mann"). But that's the only similarity between the two; Aura herself sees herself more as a successor to Dolly Parton. Reach for the stars. You have to be able to, Aura can.
Her second single "Friends" reached the top six of the European singles charts and, as with her first album, the third single "In Love With The World" also made it into the charts.
On her third album "Can't Steal The Music", she recently presented an intoxicating kaleidoscope of styles and production techniques. Always true to the rule, "if a song is easy to play on the guitar, you know..."
Now her new album, Aura Dione is presenting it in 10 cities in Germany and in the West in two churches: the Kulturkirche in Cologne and the Christuskirche in Bochum.
