Tomora's 'Come Closer': A 90s Dance Revival

A Nostalgic Journey Through Dance Music

Tomora, the exciting collaboration between Norwegian singer Aurora and Chemical Brothers' Tom Rowlands, has taken the music scene by storm with their album 'Come Closer'. This record serves as a love letter to the euphoric sounds of 90s European dance music, blending genres like big beat, trip hop, and techno.

The album opens with haunting vocal drones, leading into the title track where Aurora's ethereal voice beckons listeners to connect. Highlights include:

  • "Boy Like You" - A trip hop-infused gem that showcases Aurora's vocal prowess.
  • "Ring the Alarm" - The lead single that ignites a full rave experience with its pulsating beats and catchy melodies.

While the studio album may not fully capture the live energy experienced at Coachella, it remains a compelling listen that resonates with fans of the genre. Tomora's unique sound is a refreshing addition to the current music landscape, promising to keep listeners dancing and dreaming.
