Auburn‘s come a long, long way since December ‘07, when the then-unsigned Twin Cities native stepped into the Booth with her first feature, promo cut Ewww Ewww. Now a member of J.R. Rotem‘s Beluga Heights roster, the rising R&B songstress has recently reached her biggest career milestone to date: the release of her first radio single. On La La La, Auburn vents her frustration with a clingy, insecure man – here played by pop hitmaker I.Y.A.Z., who contributes background vocals throughout the track. If you find Rotem’s arpeggiated-synth instrumental, along with Auburn’s singalong hook, a little familiar, there’s a good reason: the record is heavily inspired by German four-piece ATC’s 2000 smash, Around the World (ed: which itself was an English-language cover of Russian singer Ruki Vverh’s ‘98 track Pesenka (La La La)). The recognizable groove only makes the cut catchier, but the question remains: is La La La infectious enough, and unique enough to make waves in the clubs and at radio? I’ll let you decide. If you’re digging this upbeat track, keep it locked for the latest on Auburn’s debut studio album, which has yet to receive a title or release date.

Following the career of JR Rotem over the years has taught me one thing about him: Never doubt his ability to craft infectious records that blow up at radio. So, what would lead me to believe that "La La La" wouldn't follow in the footsteps of his past hits? Absolutely nothing.
Youth-appealing artist? Check. Sing-songy chorus that works at radio? Check. Sample from an yesteryear hit record? Check. It's all here, its just a matter of time...

I heard Auburn first way back on a song with Cupid. With I.Y.A.Z. on this I expected an automatic hit. The bear by JR was fresh and she has good vocals which is a plus. Summer song indeed kiddies will eat this up, but not for me rotation every once in a while.

Out of all the artists and tracks that J.R. Rotem has popped out over the last year, they all sound similar, but hella catchy. This one is quite frankly one of my favorites, surprisingly, this girl might be huge. Well not surprisingly, she will follow the path of her fellow Beluga Heights labelmates like Jason Derulo and Iyaz.

I personally think that Auburn's voice is amazing. And this track has all around amazing production.
Very catchy... there is no reason to doubt this track at all! Keep up the good work! |

Does anyone else take issue with JR Rotem and other producers using famous songs, putting different vocals on it and calling it a new song? It just seems like producers are getting a little lazy in creativity. Although it may not matter to others, I am not impressed.

Not really feeling this but I do think it has radio potential. Funny seeing Auburn's name again, I remember when she debuted on the Booth and I still remember those comments haha.

I am not crazy about her or this song. Maybe I am also too "old" already for this type of songs. JR please step it up and stop sampling other people's songs. I thought you are a trained jazz piano player. So prove it!

The 18-year-old internet sensation Auburn drops an explosive track.
Written by Iyaz & produced by J.R. Rotem. Anyone remember the original song? Haha omg. |

I was wondering what happened to this girl. Good to see her doing the damn thing.
It's catchy hip-pop, and there's nothing wrong with that, but I have to say it sounds like J.R. Rotem writes songs and then hands them to one of his many artists, regardless of who they are. With a small tweak, this could have been a Kingston, or a Jason Derulo, or etc. etc. beat. J.R. makes all his artists essentially sound the same. And they all have hits. So what do I know?

I would have loved to hear her without Autotune but the voice was definitely catchy the chorus was too repetitive for me IYAZ was on for about a second didn't contribute much to the song. Overall the song is okay.

This sounds so reminiscent of that Lady Gaga track that had Akon on it. I don't remember the name, but on to the track. This is going to succeed big time. I wouldn't be surprised if this was #1 on the iTunes billboard tomorrow. This record is exactly what the public loves to hear. The type of record that is blasted on BLI all day long. This track is that track.
Auburn brings that catchy aspect that is so abundant in today's mainstream, it makes it hard to ignore the fact that this track, even if you hate it, is gonna be stuck in your head for days. I.Y.A.Z. is a clearly perfect choice for this type of track. Like I said before this track is gonna blow up at some point in time. I was feeling it, but only because of the fact that it was catchy. There doesn't appear to be much talent here, and the majority of this tracks replay value is devoted to the production. I wouldn't play this again, but I'm sure the radio will beg to differ. 2.5 for catchy the catchy shit. |

Haha loving the beat. Remember hearing the sample a longg time ago. Auburn's vocals are nice on this. IYAZ sounds good on the beat too. Don't see myself listening to this again though.

The chorus is incredibly annoying and not particularly catchy. Weakest Beluga Heights artist offering so far. Still, parts are catchy and the beat is clean. I wish JR would purchase some more equipment and stop using the same sounds in all of his songs.

It's not that this song is bad. It's well-put and good, I guess... but it has zero staying power on me.

as a serious, hardcore fan of house and techno, the beginning stole my ears and had me at attention for the whole track. but soon the chorus only served to seduce my ears even more.
i'm not a crazy fan of auto-tuning, but over and electro beat, it only enhances the overall listen. nice thumping track and a good song to dance to as well. |
