Check out the new single “Automatic” from former Danity Kane member Aubrey O’Day and let me know what you think. It’s available now on ITunes. Last night, on the season finale of her Oxygen-channel reality show, “All About Aubrey,” O’Day prepared to showcase “Automatic” and another track “Hitchhiker” at a live radio show event in hopes of catching the eyes of record-label execs to score a deal as a solo artist. O’Day’s efforts paid off; she reportedly signed a contract with Universal/SRC on March 29th (No official statement has been given by the label, but the single is listed as a Universal release on ITunes). The track is a catchy blend of pop, techno and R&B. A dance song, the lyrics are typically shallow and about the club scene. To hear “Automatic,” look below. Please comment :)
Danity Kane fans that didn’t see the “All About” finale might be interested in this tidbit: O’day and fellow DK’er Aundrea Fimbres reunited to record a song called “Ego Trippin’” and planned to perform it together for Aubrey’s showcase. During rehearsals, Fimbres decided to not go forth with the performance. Onscreen, we saw Aubrey go into the ladies bathroom to speak with Fimbres and only heard Aubrey speaking. O’day’s subsequent comments give the impression that Fimbres lost confidence and was unsure about being a performer again. O’day was crushed and disappointed. She was also concerned about upsetting DK fans who were eagerly traveling to see the reunion. O’day proceeded to give some commentary on the break-up of Danity Kane. She also discusses having uncomfortable run-ins with P. Diddy (who formed Danity Kane), in which she felt unsupported in pursuing a solo career. Before her performance, she called Diddy to leave a message and ended well-wishes with “…my album will outsell yours...bye bitch!” Being a DK fan myself, I was disappointed to see Aundrea back-out and I’m still hoping for a drama-free DK reunion. We’ll see; support the solo stuff for now:
Dawn Richard is with Diddy Dirty Money and is on tour (http://www.diddydirtymoney.com), D. Woods has a mixtape “Lady in the Street” (http://www.missdwoods.com) and Shannon Bex has formed a country band with all men called “Bex” and is planning to release a single by May (http://www.shannonbex.com/). All of the ladies, with the exception of Aundrea, are on Twitter. Shannon just tweeted “Hanging with Aundrea right now...she says hello :D xo bex” and has been communicating with O’day in recent days. They’re sharing oxygen and online space…this is a good thing :)
