Singles from Running with the Wolves

Running with the Wolves is the debut extended play (EP) by Norwegian singer-songwriter Aurora. It was released on 4 May 2015 via Decca and Universal Music.

Composition

According to Aurora, every song of the EP has a different theme, which she described that there was "a very morbid one, a dreamy one, an animalistic one and then a quite sad one."[1] "Runaway" was released as the lead single of the EP on 7 February 2015 through Petroleum Records.[2] The title track was released as the second and final single of the album. The song has also been adapted to the film Wolfwalkers (2020) produced by Tom Moore. Previous singles "Awakening" and "Under Stars" were included on the vinyl edition of the EP.

Release and promotion

Running with the Wolves was released on 4 May 2015.[3][4]

To promote the EP, Aurora did several performances. She performed at the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert.[5] She has played a sold-out headline show in London and supported Of Monsters and Men at Brixton Academy in November 2015.[6] "Runaway" was used at the finale of the third season of the Fox American television psychological thriller series The Following.[7]
