I prefer Aura because I think it just sounds better. But I don't think her use of the Burqa is really all that bad. Even if she wore one. When people come to my country dressed in their home culture's outfits, I don't expect them to change into our clothings because simply it is apart of their culture I respect that. But even if they wore our clothes, in their home country for fashion purposes, that's not going to make me upset. Let's face it, a lot of the world is sensitive. About things that more or less don't matter. Those clothes were created by a human just like you or I. With religious intentions or not. (the burqa in this case is cultural) If someone feels disrespected, then I feel sorry for them. They are not wrong for feeling disrespected either, that's just how they feel. No one can change that.
I'll die if this cut is better though!

It's a nice duality for the song imo and it actually works. It was like what Americano and Bad Kids tried to do, but they failed and now this song pulls it offf SOOO well.
