Au/Ra continues her journey into a bold new creative era with the release of ‘HIGH FANTASY’ — a sweeping anthem of escapism, imagination, and the fragile beauty of illusion. Out now, the track follows fan-favourite single ‘CRACK!’.

‘HIGH FANTASY’ begins in a dreamlike haze, carried by Au/Ra’s stunning vocals that set an otherworldly tone. Driving alt-rock guitars surge alongside pulsating drumbeats as the track unfolds building into a chorus that feels both transportive and exhilarating. Written by Au/Ra alongside Violet Skies and produced by Micah Jasper, the song imagines a world where reality blurs, swords are raised, and a radiating inner universe shimmers brighter than life outside. It explores the desire for the world you’ve built in your imagination to be real, and the desperation to stay there — a place that feels both haunting and beautiful.

Au/Ra says, “’HIGH FANTASY’ is my love letter to escapism. It’s 100% written for my inner child. I spent so much time growing up in my own world, completely immersed. The reason my artist name is Au/Ra, is because of an OC (own character) I made in a Wattpad Lord of the Rings fanfiction that I wrote when I was 13. Fantasy has been such a core part of my creative, especially for this next project. I really want my listeners to feel like they are entering another world with me, and this song is the gateway. On the flip side, it also explores the darker side, this undertone of longing, knowing it isn’t real, and you can’t stay there forever.”
