Aura is her second hit single from the newest album, ArtPop. It was written in 2012 by Lady Gaga under a working title, Burqa. Aura was produced by the famous, Zedd and Infected Mushroom. So you can expect the electronic sounds and dance breaks coming in the song.
click to watch:
The lyric video of Aura is combined with the movie, Machete Kills. I really don't want to talk about the movie but to be honest (at first I thought it was a joke). Apparently, Machete Kills is a real movie but we can set that aside.
I'm going to be blatantly honest here. The first time I heard Aura while watching the lyric video, all I can think of is: "What?!"
Aura is a good song, legit. However, to fully get the gist of the song, you have to listen to it more than once (especially if you listen for the first time in the lyric video). In the lyric video Aura is cleverly blend with clips and sounds from Machete Kills. Then again, I believe it will sound a lot better when you listen to only the song and not people screaming "MACHETEEE!!!"
I think 'speak-singing' is becoming more popular in pop scene in 2013 (you know, when you speak on one pitch and change the pitch by a semitone or one tone, as if you're singing but you are not). Aura has some parts that are speak-sang. The song overall is very catchy. The beat is great, the electronic sound is not as generic as other pop songs and sounds very Zedd-like. It is a very good club song to dance to and a good club song to sing along to.
Above all, Aura has a great message behind the lyrics. The Mother Monster is encouraging us to look beyond the outside by saying your aura is more important. Also, that women can make her own choice and nobody can patronise women because they are important behind all the covers.
Four gold stars to Lady Gaga!
