Singer Aubrey O'Day brought charisma and flair to "Making the Band" girl group Danity Kane, only to get fired by producer Sean "Diddy" Combs during a 2008 episode of the reality series. Fortunately, O'Day has decided to move forward with a solo venture and has brought those same talents to her explosive debut solo single, "Automatic." While its choppy rhythm and breathy vocals are similar to Danity Kane's 2008 single, "Damaged," "Automatic" is more urgent and abrupt, with O'Day's abrasive voice consistently delivering audacious lyrics. "Look at my body/It's so official/Every time they see me/They shoot all there like a missile," O'Day growls with a coquettish rasp similar to Britney Spears. Like "Automatic," O'Day's solo career demands attention-and coupled with the recent launch of a new reality show, "All About Aubrey," she will most likely garner it.
