The new edition expands the original 11 track album to 25 songs
Atlantic Records is proud to release Aurora Super Deluxe, a 25-track, ultra-extended version of the debut album from Daisy Jones & The Six. The new version arrives on DSPs and in all-new physical formats today (Fri, Dec 1st). In May, a deluxe edition as released featuring 20 tracks.
The release follows last month’s exciting news that Aurora (the original album from Daisy Jones & The Six) was honored with a 66th Annual Grammy Award Nomination for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media.
Aurora Super Deluxe includes all 11 cuts from the Grammy-nominated LP, plus beloved standalone singles such as “Aurora (Live from SNL),” Demi Lovato’s electric rendition of “Let Me Down Easy,” and Maren Morris & Marcus Mumford’s stunning reimagination of “Look At Us Now (Honeycomb).” Rounding out the expanded tracklist is Daisy Jones’s revered solo track, “It Was Always You,” plus early material from The Dunne Brothers.
Co-written and produced by Grammy-winning songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Blake Mills (Bob Dylan, Fiona Apple, Alabama Shakes, John Legend, Perfume Genius), Aurora Super Deluxe arrives in response to fans’ continued massive demand for new music – a demand which has only increased since the Prime Video Original Series’ final episodes aired in late March.
Daisy Jones & The Six’s growing catalog has amassed over 260 million global streams across platforms thus far.
Taken from page to screen to recording studio, Aurora – the original, 11-song record – marked the debut LP from the titular band of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s beloved, New York Times bestselling novel Daisy Jones & The Six.
Aurora was released to tremendous acclaim from critics and fans alike in early March, debuting at No. 1 on Billboard’s Soundtracks chart, No. 4 on the Billboard Vinyl Albums & Americana/Folk Albums charts, No. 9 on Top Current Albums, No. 10 on Top Albums, and more. Daisy Jones & The Six themselves debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart – becoming the first act from a scripted series or film to do so. They also became the first such act to hit No. 1 on the iTunes Top Albums chart.
Daisy Jones & The Six debuted as the No. 1 Prime Video series in March and boasted a massive 1.5 billion social impressions within the first three days of the show’s rollout. The highly-anticipated series arrived via Amazon Studios and Reese Witherspoon’s media company Hello Sunshine, who optioned Reid’s work in 2018 – before Daisy Jones & The Six ever even hit bookshelves. Upon the novel’s release in early 2019, it received coveted recognition as a “Reese’s Book Club Pick.”
With over 25 original songs, co-written by Mills, Aurora and other music from throughout Daisy Jones & The Six boasts co-writing credits from several of the biggest names in music, including Marcus Mumford and Jackson Browne, with additional production from renowned record producer Tony Berg, and alongside instrumentalists from The Who, Nine Inch Nails, Pearl Jam, David Bowie, Elton John, Jeff Beck, The Wallflowers, and more. Other co-writers on Aurora include Chris Weisman, Ethan Gruska, and Z Berg, among others.
Mills – who also executive produced the music from the series – recorded the entirety of Aurora with Keough and Claflin at Sound City Studios. The iconic Van Nuys, CA space – now jointly run by Mills and Berg – also serves as the backdrop in both the book and limited series for the creation of the album.
In July, the series received a standout nine Primetime Emmy Award nominations, including for Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie (Riley Keough), and Outstanding Music Supervision (Frankie Pine).
