The story of how Aurora got the opportunity to sing and have a vocal part of "Frozen 2" begins all the way back in 2015, when she was visiting Brazil, around the time Katey Perry tweeted how Aurora "...made her heart flutter".
Tom MacDougall, executive vice president of music at Disney was attending an artist showcase, and thought there was something about this intriguing performer with an impressive range that could be a good fit for Disney. He eventually had her record a cover of “Baby Mine,” used in the 2019 “Dumbo” trailer. And then the perfect project came along — the Scandinavia-inspired “Frozen 2.” (^63.1)
Aurora: "I sang at a luncheon for Disney. I think the bosses were pretty excited" (^63.2)
Tom MacDougall: “It was a no-brainer. She had to be our voice.” (^63.1)
The movie became quite a big thing around the globe, and the song have been translated and performed by no less than 45 artists in their different languages. Auroras voice can be heard in all of them (^63.3)
"My character in this film is not a human being at all, it is something that is much older and bigger than humanity can become... I am so happy that the children of the future will want this film, it will inspire in the best ways", says Aurora (^63.4)
In “Frozen 2,” the main conflict comes in the form of a siren call in the distance, beckoning Elsa to leave her Arendelle kingdom and discover the secrets of her past.
“It was like a puzzle . . . falling together,” Aurora says. “It felt right for me to be a part of that, because I’m a big supporter of following your instincts.” (^63.1)
The song was among the nominees in the Best Original Song category at the Oscars (^63.6 and ^63.7), and the coolest thing if all: Aurora was performing this at the Oscars Ceremony - with clothes made by Viktoria and make-up by Miranda, her sisters
Later, the 4th of March 2019, released her own version of this song (^63.8).
