By now, Aubrey O'Day has become a household name. From Making The Band, to All About Aubrey, and now Celebrity Apprentice, Aubrey is a queen when it comes to reality television, and she is not one to shy away from the lime light. This song is timed so perfectly, coming after her controversial moves on Celebrity Apprentice, but don't let that make you think the song doesn't have any merit to itself.
The song is pure 90's girl pop. The vocals are strong and on point, and the upbeat guitar and drum back beat do a great job of showcasing exactly what O'Day is capable of. The lyrics describe a crumbling relationship that she is ready to break out of. The metaphor or the wrecking ball may have been done before, but Aubrey's powerful voice set this song apart from all the rest. Let's just say there is a reason she was the first pick for Danity Kane.
I am ecstatic to see her explore genres beyond today's electro-pop, over processed vocals style song. While these songs can be fun, they don't do her justice. Don't get me wrong, "Automatic" was a fun song, but she sounded like a robot for most of the song. "Wrecking Ball" is all about Aubrey being a strong woman both vocally and mentally. This song is exactly what she needs to push her career to the next level.
You can buy the song for yourself on iTunes. For 99cents, you can't really beat it.
