After being fired by Diddy, Aubrey O’Day goes at it alone on “Automatic,” the first single from her forthcoming solo debut, due on SRC Records/Universal Motown. The former Danity Kane diva debuted the song live last year, but the electro-pop party anthem was officially released to iTunes following the season finale of her Oxygen reality show “All About Aubrey.”
“It’s the first song I recorded for my solo project because I wanted to represent all the people who don’t feel the need to go all out to get attention,” stated Aubrey of the Adonis production. “This song is for everyone who automatically commands attention whenever they walk into a room! Everything they do is ‘Automatic’!”
How does Aubrey fare without the rest of the girls? You be the judge.
I had high hopes for this song…I came here to say “OH SHITT..she did the damn thang”…but instead I’m not impressed. Dawn to me is the only one in the group who has the potential to stand on her own..btw she’s prepping for her debut album..so we’ll see..lol
I KEEP'S IT REAL! Reply: April 12th, 2011 at 7:11 am
@jay, I don’t have a reason to hate. I said it’s an okay song, but nothing I would rock to. If anything you need to keep it real, especially if you’re one of her true fans. You know that this song is not HOT!
@I KEEP’S IT REAL!, so why are u keep commenting..dam yall bitches need livess or something…u do toooo much..if u dont like the song den so fuckin what leave ur hater filled comment and be gone..but no u wanna keep ur negative shit poppin…bitch byeeeeee
@rihluv, For one, I had a computer error, so know what you’re talking about. For two, I don’t have a problem with Aubrey, and I’m definitely not hatin on her. I said the song is an ok song, but it’s a song I wouldn’t rock to. And BITCH ain’t know hatin in my BLOOD. I speak the TRUTH the song is an ok song, not HOT! I listen to real music! And if this song was real music, I would rock to it to. And good for her if yall decide to by it on itunes!
I feel like this is something that would’ve been left off of Danity Kane’s “Welcome To The Dollhouse” album 3 years ago. Not really feeling it. Sounds like everything else that has already been done.
This is her first song she recorded independent without a label. So there are 100 more better songs she did and with a label behind her even more greater songs.
This isnt a strong single but hey imagine if she released smt else. Haters AODers are ready!
she is getting promo, basically that SHOW was her promo for this single, so I’m not surprised that it is already charting. The song is cool, expecting way better stuff for the album though.
I dont think anyone is certain why the label that is backing her made her push this as first single. Although the song is good it isnt strong enough to go number 1. Maybe the Label executives wanted to test her marketability before they invested any further in her which is kinda dumb… If they would have allowed her to release “Hitchiker” as her first single it might have been more logical.
They are testing what her fanbase is cause i said its not a strong song but u gotta give her props for breaking top 40 on itunes.
Hitchhiker or GoodbyeHeartbreak would SLAYY the charts.
Btw she didnt even finish her album. Src is listining to the songs she recorded before and she will be recording more songs so this is just a logical choice as a buzz single.
U guys really think this is her first single no way!
Awesome!!!!! Watch out Britney Spears…. I sense competition here…. Aubrey is a great performer may be your next competition.. Love Aubrey…. Hope she can make a hit song with the other Danity Kane Girls.. that is… Shannon, D-Woods and Aundrea…. Love them…. P Diddy Who??????????? LMBOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…… Eat Your heart out Diddy…. You just lost mega $$$$… Love everyone Aubrey has on her team… especially her manager….. ching ching….
if your a real fan you gotta buy the single at least 10 times like me haha…we gotta get it to the top 20 on itunes so its promoted to the general public when they are just scrolling for new music in the top 100…its at 39 right now!! lets atleast past diddy..hes at 29!!! lets go guys
this is just a single for itunes this is not a single to start off the album with why do you think it is exclusively on itunes so all the haters need to be quiet
Are people really haters when they are just giving their opinion? It’s silly when it’s said “why are you even listening?” Umm hello we have to listen to know whether we like it or not. Now that’s a real hater not even listening to the song and saying they hate it. The term “hater” is used entirely too much and is never really used properly. No one said anything malicious about her. They critiqued the song. Silly rabbits “hater” is for people who don’t have a large vocabulary LOL
man i wish the best for her. this is a dance/club song and thats wats hot rite nw.. diddy robbed her.. aundria have talent and leting it go so easily so aubrey yhu have my support..
@belle stop trying to quote lil kim and you cant tell anybody they don’t have a wide vocabulary because you dont know them comprende, because you don’t know what they actually know.
i luv luv luv luv aubrey d song is on replay on my ipod..loved her from making the band to danity kane and now she’s alone fantastic!!diddy should try being alone cos rite now d only tin saving his ass is dawn and kalenna!!hope he’s watchin her reality show..
I LOVE AUBREY! this is def a hit for her! She deserves all of the success she gets! she got that HUNGER that most artists dont have today….Shes Currently #36 on the MAIL ITUNES chart….this def aint no fail! Def coppin the album when it comes out! =]
Why are people saying “…with out any promo”? The song as the theme tune to a cable TV show that ran for 6 week consecutively with between 350,000-750,000 weekly viewers for the Monday episode alone. Not only that but she released snippets of this months prior that had small media buzz. Releasing the single hours after a drama, dk, diddy showdown hyped finale didn’t hurt either.
Aubrey is smart. She played safe and got the dk fans on board by releasing music are already familiar with from DK. To them, Aubrey is flying the DK flag so she will get their full support from the jump.
I rate her majorly but I am disappointing with the level of staged for sympathy provided in her show. If your gonna brag about being the only real artist/tv star out then be just that. Any real Aubrey fan knows about Aubs from MTB to now will know her moms has been on this ride with her since firing day. Why Aubrey concocted this rift is beyond me. Stop talking about beating Diddy….Girl he is your past…OR IS HE? The song aint it for me. I am a lover of music that is more than just 15 min fad type music.
THIS SONG IS REALLY GOOD. Its catchy as hell, and it may sound like a Danity Kane song, but the only reason it sounds Danity Kane-ish is because she was pretty much the lead POP vocalist in the group. Whenever there was a pop song, she was always featured the most throughout the song. This song is already doing really well cracking top 20 on itunes, shes a smart business woman and its only the beginning.
I think this will do good on the charts. It fits right into today’s mainstream music. At some point I did feel like I was listening to Girlicious, though. Aubrey did a decent job on this track, but she still needs to find her OWN signature voice. This sounds like nothing the next girl couldn’t do. But I actually liked it, wouldn’t mind dancing to this in the club.
Bravo Aubrey broke top 20 on itunes. This boss bad girl never gave up after being fired by diddy. She had a dream and never let it die. She passed diddy on itunes and made some noise. regardless if you dislike the song others do and she made money off of it, a lot of money, had a show and now has a contract for a SOLO artist. Instead of hating on her how about being inspired by her for NOT giving up and being persistent until her dream was reached. That is a BOSS bitch and a star! Anyone can do it also, but MANY don’t because they give up not either knowing how to succeed or giving up at the first road bump.
Your watching the key to success, never giving up when all others said NO YOU CAN’T and she said WATCH ME. And she did. If that doesn’t inspire you or at least gives you a form or respect for someone going after THEIR dreams, then you are truly a hater, hating anyone that ever reachs
I love this song, walking in the club and when you hear this song your looking all bad and hot,lol Yeah it makes you feel like your the star in the club, I hope it hits number 1 on the club and top 100 charts, go girl!!!
