“Aura” is all of the best and worst things about Lady Gaga amplified. It kicks off with weird filtered vocals, like a terrible Nancy Sinatra affectation, then yields to a Halloween-goofy, dissonant “Ha ha ha” bit, as clownish as “Monster Mash,” before big, brazenly conventional EDM production struts in, tinny and uninspiring. It feels like “Government Hooker,” but messier, less cohesive, and more annoying. Her pronunciation is garbled. Her voice sounds dry. It’s a miss.
Quote:
And then, just when it feels completely hopeless, she breaks free of all the posturing with a pop hook that’s absolutely transcendent, euphoric and properly enormous, as stupefyingly great a refrain as anyone could desire: ”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’s a magical moment, as terrific as the chorus of “Bad Romance” or any of her other best songs

Remember when Lady Gaga was just great? Yeah, me too. Maybe “Applause” will be better.

Uninspiring is possibly the best way to describe Burqa
Burqa is sonically and conceptually more interesting and daring than anything Rihanna/Katy/Britney have ever and will ever release.
I don't understand why we still compare them to Gaga, she's obviously on a whole different level of genius than these basic prostitutes
The delusion is real tho. Burqa is an overproduced basic mess and u lil monsters forcing your ears to listen and cosigning every praise aint helping it
If the rest of the album follows this Party Rock Anthem/ Where Have You Been leftover mess
are you sure you actually listened to the right song? You seemed confused earlier when you were searching for a link.
It sounds nothing like either of the 2 you just mentioned

Uninspiring is possibly the best way to describe Burqa
The clear anthemic vocals during the chorus are its only redeeming quality. Hence why 1/10.
My god, of all pop gurls, I thought Gaga would be the least likely to deliver basic trash like that.
Burqa is exactly what you expect from Gaga.
The lyrics are controversial enough to make people talk about it but not daring enough to cause any real trouble.
The intro is weird enough to make her seem different but not too much to give away her radio appeal.
The production is good but nothing special either.
Typical Gaga.
I'm not saying Idolator is the source of the millenium but they reflect my thoughts very well which is why I posted it
WHYB is the most basic generic formulaic uninteresting thing ever.
