Buried Deep is an album by Norwegian artist AURORA. While only having been released as a digital download on her website, the album is a fan favorite. It features the fan-favorite singles "Encrypted Love" and "We Were Going To Do That".

Background
Recorded between 2014-15, Buried Deep is a collection of songs AURORA had written throughout her touring days. During her time off, she worked with several different collaborators in order to create a comfortable and cohesive album. We see her leave her nature-like production sounds for a more synthetic approach, though the influence of nature can still be seen.

AURORA originally intended for the album to be released in December 2014, but it was pushed back due to the lack of approval from her label. During the delay, she recorded two new tracks, making the tracklist 12 total songs.

The first single, "Encrypted Love" was released on February 13th, 2015, right in time for Valentines day. With the single came the album's announcement. The second single, "Shadows" came just three weeks later (March 6th), being followed by the entire album on March 27th.

Critical Reception
Buried Deep was praised for it's specially crafted unique sound, as well it's lyrical subjects. Many found AURORA's different approach to love refreshing and inspiring. Standout tracks "Forbidden Feelings" and "Past Sundown" received the most attention, introducing a new portion of listeners to AURORA's music.
