Fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s “Daisy Jones & the Six” novel, released in 2019, are eagerly awaiting the new miniseries based on the story, coming to Prime Video on Friday. But even more exciting is the accompanying album, titled “Aurora,” that was created for the show. The novel follows the fictional band of the same name as they form and ultimately fall apart at the height of their success. Though Reid includes a list of the songs and their lyrics at the back of the book, there was no way to actually listen to the music — until now.
“Aurora” is now available to stream on Spotify, with music sung by the show’s cast. The first song, “Regret Me,” was released alongside the show’s teaser trailer on Jan. 25, and the second song, “Look at Us Now (Honeycomb),” arrived with the full trailer on Feb. 15. However, these songs are not the same ones Reid wrote, even those with the same titles. Reid laughed at the notion that she was a real songwriter in a 2021 interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Atlantic Records said in a statement that the album’s production was helmed by Blake Mills, a Grammy-winning songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. Phoebe Bridgers, Marcus Mumford, and Jackson Browne all have cowriting credits on it.
The “Aurora” album was released on March 2, and the tracklist for both the novel and TV show versions can be found below:

For fans of “Daisy Jones & the Six,” it’s been a long time coming for them to finally be able to listen to the music from the novel. With “Aurora” now available to stream, they can finally experience it for themselves.
