Lady Gaga - Aura (Review)

The first track at the top of the tracklist from Lady Gaga’s ARTPOP is the Eastern/Burqa inspired AURA. Behind all the explicit vocals this song possesses a deeper meaning that invites you to see the true Gaga, the girl behind the material things, “the girl behind the Aura”. Aura kicks off with an Eastern inspired guitar string play that then breaks out into the loud and explicit laughter of Gaga, which followers with an introduction to the song where she shouts/sings AURA a couple of times.

That’s when it breaks into the exhilarating electronic-dubstep beat which she sings to. It’s then followed by a much slow and empowering chorus wherein she sings “Do you wanna see me naked lover? Do you wanna peak underneath the cover? Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the aura, behind the aura…”. It then breaks into the electro-dubstep beat that is followed by the addicted bridge of the song “Dance Sex ARTPOP Tech” and it then ends with the celestial chorus. Although the song is inspired to have a sexual twist it has a deeper meaning.

It is no surprise that it’s on the top of the tracklist. Aura is an invitation to see the true and real Gaga that is sometimes overpowered by the negativity and hatred some people have showed her. Aura generally explains and says what ARTPOP is all about, it’s not about making a statement but following you dreams and doing it with passion.
