In April 2018, Aurora released ” Queendom ” as the lead single from her upcoming two-part album, followed by ” Forgotten Love ” in August. The album, recorded in France earlier that year with producers Askjell , Roy Kerr , and Tim Bran, saw Aurora deeply involved in the production process. The new material explored themes of politics, sexuality, and empowerment, inspired by interactions with fans during her debut tour, while maintaining some lyrical continuity with her first album. The music video for “Queendom”, released in May 2018, emphasised inclusivity, particularly for her LGBTQ+ fanbase, featuring a scene where Aurora kissed a female dancer to symbolise acceptance of all forms of love. She previewed several new songs at festivals such as Lollapalooza and Coachella . The first part, Infections of a Different Kind (Step 1) , an eight-track release, was released in September 2018, with Aurora describing its closing track as “the most important song I’ve ever written.” The second part, A Different Kind of Human (Step 2) , followed in June 2019. Aurora supported both releases with a headlining tour starting in Manchester in late 2018 and performances at festivals including Glastonbury , Groovin’ the Moo , and Outside Lands .
