welly
Sedikit perkenalan dengan Auburn Williams yang akrab disapa dengan Auburn, usianya baru menginjak 21 pada tahun ini. Bahwa debut album Same Girl yang dirilis secara independen pada tahun 2007 telah membuatnya dilirik oleh beberapa produser, karena faktor usia yang masih “terlalu muda”, dia harus menunggu 3 tahun kemudian untuk merilis album debutnya.
Adalah seorang J. R. Totem yang kemudian menariknya bergabung dengan label Beluga Heights dengan bantuan distribusi Warner Brothers. Dimulailah gerilya dari Auburn dalam menebarkan racun untuk suaranya melalui single pertama yang dirilis, La La La yang juga menampilkan vokal Iyaz.
Lantas bagaimana dengan single keduanya ini? Berhati-hatilah dengan intronya. Dengan langsung menampilkan bagian refrain yang mengadiksi dan faktor repetisi di setiap akhir kalimat menjadikannya mudah diingat. 'Cause I'm all about him, him, him, him, him/ And he's all about me, me, me, me, me. Sebuah cara yang sangat cerdas untuk mencuri perhatian.
"All About Him" ini cenderung terasa 'manis' dengan vokal Auburn yang ceria. Pola bercerita yang diberikannya membuat kita seakan-akan mendengarkan curhat seseorang yang sedang dilanda cinta. One day by Starbucks/ He said "Excuse me beautiful," I said, "Aww, shucks"/And then he asked, "Well, ay, wanna grab lunch?"
Satu hal yang mencuri bagian mungkin adalah dibagian detik ke 20. Anda akan mendengarkan sebuah sign bahwa produser yang bertanggung jawab pada beat-beat ceria adalah seorang J. R. Totem. Seperti juga Akon yang ingin membuat penanda pada setiap tracknya, kita akan segera mengenali tanda itu juga. Sebuah jaminan di awal bahwa track ini tidak akan membosankan.
Single ini sendiri dirilis pada tanggal 26 November tahun lalu, dan albumnya akan dirilis pada musim semi 2011. Sambil menunggu debut albumnya, Auburn sendiri sudah dipastikan menjadi opening act dari Jason DeRulo pada konser di musim gugur nanti. Jadi kita lihat saja apakah dewi fortuna akan berpihak pada bakat Auburn pada tahun ini. Cheers!

Lyrics:
It's Auburn
And J.R.
'Cause I'm all about him, him, him, him, him
And he's all about me, me, me, me, me
And we don't give a dang, dang, dang, dang, dang
About nobody-e-e-e
'Cause I'm all about him, him, him, him, him
And he's all about me, me, me, me, me
And we don't give a dang, dang, dang, dang, dang
About nobody-e-e-e
Well, had him shooting for me like a ball team
Every guy was a knock out, Don King
But not none of 'em had smarts, that's my thing
It's not enough to have balls, Spalding, ha
One day by Starbucks
I bumped into a guy rocking black Chucks
He said "Excuse me beautiful," I said, "Aww, shucks"
And then he asked, "Well, ay, wanna grab lunch?"
Never ever ever met a guy so fly
Got me hooked like apple pie, I
Think I'm falling and I don't know why
But I won't fight these butterflies
'Cause I'm all about him, him, him, him, him
And he's all about me, me, me, me, me
And we don't give a dang, dang, dang, dang, dang
About nobody-e-e-e
'Cause I'm all about him, him, him, him, him
And he's all about me, me, me, me, me
And we don't give a dang, dang, dang, dang, dang
About nobody-e-e-e
And I swear what we have is just super cool
The way he's always in my head like a Bluetooth
I got a text from him, he said come through
Told me that he wants to kick it, Kung Fu
Don't do nothing much at all
Just we and his boys watching football
He asked for a kiss (Muah) So I gave him two
He said, "Well, thankyou, baby," I said, "You're welcome, boo"
Never ever ever met a guy so fly
Got me hooked like apple pie, I
Think I'm falling and I don't know why
But I won't fight these butterflies
'Cause I'm all about him, him, him, him, him
And he's all about me, me, me, me, me
And we don't give a dang, dang, dang, dang, dang
About nobody-e-e-e
'Cause I'm all about him, him, him, him, him
And he's all about me, me, me, me, me
And we don't give a dang, dang, dang, dang, dang
About nobody-e-e-e
No, I don't need no fancy cars
And I don't need no diamond rings
My baby is all I need and more
'Cause I don't need those extra things
It's not about you (Oh-oh-oh-oh) (It's not about you)
It's not about them (Oh-oh-oh-oh) (It's not about them)
It's all about me (Oh-oh-oh-oh) (It's all about me)
And it's all about him (Oh-oh-oh-oh) (It's all about him)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Said it's all about him, yeah
