We won’t go into our palaver about why we found Lady Gaga’s song “Aura” problematic. You can read about that here! But she did happen to clean up the song from the mess that leaked online a while ago. It doesn’t sound much better and the problematic burqa references remain intact. It still makes us long for the days of “Alejandro.”
On the bright side: The lyric video that’s been chucked online — as a companion piece to the upcoming Robert Rodriguez-directed film Machete Kills in which she stars — is kind of boss.
