Our girl CiCi is already recording her next album. With the mediocre success of the GREAT "Fantasy Ride" album. Our hardworking girl keep sit pushing with the next album. This is why I love Ciara, she loves her fans, she's into her music, she has a strong, motivating drive, and she never gives up. She just stays calm, and happy, and push on to the next venture. She is 14 songs deep into the album, the album is fully produced by Top of the line producer & Writer Tricky Stewart & The-Dream, who produced some of her hottest tracks from "Fantasy Ride" ala "High Price" & "Like A Surgeon."
The album is set to be fully solo. No features at all. Yess, our girl is officially showing, "She can do damage all by herself." Her real fans and true lovers know that, but the others obviously don't. Even thou she's had solo hits like "Promise" which was the #1 R&B song in 2006 on Billboard R&B/Hip Hop & peaked @ #11 on Billboard hot 100, with over a 100+ million radio audience. And that was just a ballad, PUNCH CI! And "Like A Boy" that gave her another top 20 hit, peaking @ #19 on Billboard Hot 100, and top 10 hit on Billboard R&B/Hip Hop @ #6.
Anyhoo, we all knew she was in LA to record a new album. While the haters we're saying she got kicked off of the Britney Tour because she flopped, Ci wasn't giving them mind, and she readied her next album. #1, Ciara actually upstaged Britney on her OWN tour, all critics said that. And due to the great outcome of Ciara's accompaniment, and performances, she was offered to continue on the 2nd leg of the US tour. But, CI & her team decided against it, because she was recording a new album, and that was far more important, than to promote an album, people DIDN'T want to get into. & for those saying she was replaced by Jordin cause Jordin had more success. Jordin flopped too hun, she sold a lil under 50k. & didn't even make top 3 or 5. & her song peaked the same place as "Love Sex Magic" @ #10 on billboard hot 100, and "LSM" was a WORLDWIDE HIT, KEEP IT CUTE & Get it right kids!
If Ciara wanted "Fantasy Ride" to be a hit, it would've cause clearly she had hits, but her label wanted to act lame. I mean did anyone not know Gaga flopped in her 1st week sales of 24k? So, y couldn't Ci keep promoting her ass off like Gaga, and get to the same status as Gaga did with her pre-flopped album, and it took "Just Dance" all day to hit #1? Gaga is cool (I guess... lol), but facts are facts.
Anyhoo. The album is 14 solo tracks deep. No features. The only features will be remix's to the solo songs she's recorded or will be recorded. The album is set to take her back to the "Goodies" & "1 step" days where she was punching your faves above & beneath the belt & they couldn't take. Introduce her back as the dance queen she is. The album will be mostly uptempto, but will also carry on her sensual vibe ala "Like A Surgeon", "Promise", etc..
The album is set to be released either the end of this year, but I think Ci & Tricky are pushing for it to be released early 2010, which they also stated is a great possibility. So, Ci will be back snatchin wigs in the next decade. Who mad?! Y did her blog about the new album peak @ #1 story within a few hours, when blogs had been out for weeks, and she punched them out?! & the only one who punched her to #2 is Christian (Chris Brown) who has buzz from his confrontation/assault with Rihanna, and people want to see what he got, and is he gonna flop. That's right Ci, do U!
Most notable tracks are "Speechless" & "Gifted." In which "Speechless" is a duet with The-Dream (Ballad? I believe that's a Si, Senor's & Senorita's, lol)
