There’s something suspicious about IurisEkero. Not in a shady way, more in the how is one person this fluent in other people’s soft spots kind of way. He drops a melody and suddenly you’re thinking about the person who hasn’t texted in six months. His sound is warm, polished, and dramatic in that soft, movie-scene register, where everyday feelings feel cinematic. AURA, his new 16-track album, plays like he broke into my Google Drive, found my unfinished feelings, and turned them into songs.
This project lands with a sense of presence. It feels like a friend pulling up a chair and saying, “Hey, I brought emotional snacks, let’s talk about your inner life.” Honestly, I respect that.
AURA, the title track, feels like someone lighting a candle inside your chest
If songs could hold eye contact, “Aura” would hold it a little too well. It’s track three, but it reads as the album’s pulse. The lyrics plead without raising their voice, built around that gentle “give me a sign” mantra that sounds like someone finally admitting how badly they need reassurance.
“Like stars need the sky’s embrace… my soul craves your energy.”
Hear that and your brain goes straight to the person you swear you’re over, even as you quietly check their last seen on WhatsApp. “Aura” moves like a prayer mixed with a confession, then softened into a hug. The production glows without trying to blind you, shimmering the way moonlight does on skin you care about a little too much.
Then he drops, “Perhaps your soul’s divine art…” and you realize Iuris is a romantic menace. He compliments you so precisely you look away, pretend you didn’t hear it, and blush anyway. “Aura” is where the album meets you head-on and decides, today we are going there.
I ASK GOD TO MAKE ME LOVE YOU LESS, the confession we act like we’ve never lived
This one is “crying but trying to be brave” turned into a full song. I can picture it being written flat on the floor, staring at the ceiling, because the lyrics carry that specific midnight desperation.
“Late at night when the silence hits…”
“Caught in a spiral, your love’s a sweet mess…”
“I ask God to make me love you less.”
That’s beyond regular heartbreak. That’s Olympic-level pain. That’s the kind of hurt where you tell people you moved on, then realize you still haven’t archived the chats. The production leans into the slow burn, dramatic and tender, a beat that feels like pacing in circles because the feelings refuse to sit down.
What I love is that the song refuses to posture. It doesn’t pretend to be fine. It just lays the whole thing out, like, “Here are my feelings; please handle with care.” And the line that really wrecked me is:
“Love’s like a river that won’t stop its flow…”
If you’ve ever tried to unlove someone who felt like home, you already know why that lands. For sheer emotional impact, this might be the album’s peak.
EVERY SECOND COUNTS, an anxious heartbeat hiding in a banger
Every album needs a track that captures urgency, adrenaline, and the chaos of desire. EVERY SECOND COUNTS does it with a breathless pulse, like the music is sprinting and you’re trying to keep up. The hook is basically a countdown you can feel under your skin.
“Tick, tick, tick… every second counts when you’re around.”
It’s the sound of having too many feelings at once, and no pause button. The lyrics scatter like racing thoughts:
“Minutes vanish like a sin.”
“Light’s a river… endless dream.”
“Can’t rewind… fast and slow we let it go.”
The tension is what makes it hit. You want time to slow down because the moment is so good, and you want it to speed up because you can’t wait to see where it’s going. It feels like falling in love while still being scared of what that might cost you. The beat doesn’t wait politely. It pulls you forward. It stays alive.
This track is the adrenaline shot in the middle of the record.
THE REST OF THE JOURNEY, quick stops that still matter
Didn’t See You Today keeps its crown as the emotional dance-pop favorite, energetic and romantic with a little sadness under the shine. It’s very “main character walking fast through a city,” trying to look composed while everything inside is loud.
The Password Of My Heart still sounds like someone handing you their emotional PIN code and hoping you don’t drop the phone. We Are All In One gets its well-earned single shoutout, the bright one, the hopeful one, the one that insists love can be sweet and safe.
Even Miracles Take A Little Time, Safe Zone, Let’s Ignite The Night, and Invisible Gravity round out the album like chapters in a long, gentle conversation. Then Don’t Get Your Hopes Up closes it with bittersweet honesty. Life rarely stays soft or sweet for long, it holds both at once.
AURA is for people who feel deeply, love too hard, hide it badly, and still wake up every day willing to try again. If you want a project that listens back while you listen to it, this is the one. Go stream it, let it meet you where you are!
