With new albums from Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey and Rihanna set for takeoff in the months to follow, fans of R&B maestra Ciara can also look forward to a new LP from the star this year!
Announcing the arrival of a brand new studio set in January, the April 22nd release of her fiancee Future‘s ‘Honest‘ LP has gone a long way to whip up momentum for her project- the followup to 2013’s ‘Ciara.’
Now, ever grateful for the debates and ideas published in the ever-active comment sections, today sees ask you to share your thoughts on the matter!
Confused?
All will be explained below…
So, here’s the scenario:
You’ve just been handed your dream job as an A&R executive at Sony’s ‘EPIC’, home to Sade, Tamar Braxton, Andre 3000 and your favourite artist, Ciara.
Your first task? Work alongside the latter to create her strongest album to date, doing so with pressure from bosses LA Reid and Doug Morris in mind. Doing so, with the full understanding that your time at the label and the star’s legacy depends on the album’s success.

Yall song choices suck as usual. Ciara doesn’t need to take advice from people like you.
Mila who?
Honey she will flop whatever she does. Aint nobody checkin for her anymore. She had a good song (body party) which still aint platinum, she performed everywhere and no one wanted to buy her album.
People are obviously checking for her since body party was the biggest r&b song of 2013 basically putting r&b back on the map.
Lol yall want poor Cici to get dragged.
Wait for it………
……………………………B**** Who?
Ciara Is that Chick…..Mila J can never
Have ya’ll heard that Kelly Rowland got dropped?
Kelly really got dropped? omg well maybe this time she can be a contestant on X Factor since she also got fired from being a judge kiiiiii.
Ciara’s last album sucked tbh. Girl dont got that fire anymore. She’s been done since 2007. NOW BYE!
Can’t wait to get my LIFE on FRIDAY 21ST “SMOKE, DRINK, BREAKUP”
@IconicCici LMFAO! You might as well add your girl Ciara in there as well.
1. Ashanti – Never should have
2. The Wanted – Show Me Love (America)
3. Mya – Fallen
4. Shakira – Can’t Remember to Forget You
5. Mariah – Vanishing
6. Janet Jackson – Where Are You Now
Bonus:
7. The Who – A Legal Matter
so Kelly Rowland got dropped from her label?
that’s what happens when you choose to live under some basic broad’s rock..
Kelly had many chances to become a huge superstar, but no she had to put her sister first before her own career
I don’t feel bad for her
@RatedXX exactly she spent her life more worried about beys career then her own.
and how many times has mila tried out and got rejected from those shows? She’ll NEVER take my Cicis place.
please lets keep it real,
people are definitely checking for Ciara…especially the ones who claims she’s a flop..
every post Ciara’s name is brought up….brought up by people who cannot stand her..
every post on here has something to do with Ciara..if yall so obsessed with the broad, buy her album or shut the fugg up
White Noise is better than anything Ciara has done or ever will do, please don’t bring it to this s***** ass blog.
Ciara just needs some up to date club bangers, love making slow jams, and crossover R&B mid tempo track and she will be fine.

@Rated X is doesn’t reflect in her sales.
That Basic bish,is always on you’re mind. YOU ARE THE BASIC BISH!!!!!!
A recent development has some wondering whether Kelly has been dropped from Universal Republic. PopDust.com reports that Kelly’s no longer listed on the labels roster of artists.
This comes after her last album, Talk a Good Game, sold only 215,000 copies around the world. Supposedly there had been plans to re-release the album with some additional tracks. It’s not clear if that idea has been scrubbed in the wake of news that Kelly was cut from Universal.
Neither Kelly nor Universal have made any statement on the rumors at this time.
The only reason Ciara names is bought up is due to her stan throwing shade at others fav. That’s the real T. No shade but who’s really checking for cici?
Never should have – Ashanti
Radar- Britney spears
Stay – Rihanna
Partition – Beyonce
The Worst- Jhene Aiko
Oh yeah – Chris brown
@Richie_ Rich yawn.
Oh and also brandy acapella.
RIGHHHHT! Thats Wat Im Sayin. Such A Waste Of A Great Project
@Molly, it’s no shade or anything, but it’s the truth. I’m rooting for cici to be real with you. I feel she has the talent, but her drive seem as if it’s gone.
I think she needs to go back to her roots with a modern twist. Ever since she went hollyweid, it’s been down hill for her sis. I want her to win so bad.
Dying at the idiot who said “Vanishing” by Mariah Carey. Ciara doesn’t have a third of the vocal ability required to deliver that song. Girl bye!
Lol y’all are so funny. They said Ciara was done after Fantasy Ride, Basic Instinct and Ciara and yet she’s still here at the same events, working with the same writers and producers as Beyoncé, Rihanna, Katy, Gaga etc… Last time I checked, she’s the only flop that can get IG, Twitter and all the blogs in a frenzy whenever she does anything.
So back to the topic, Ciara’s next album should NOT have a tired EDM sound, she should go with a minimal/industrial/progressive sound with a few R&B tracks like Body Party, DUI and Backseat Love. Ballads similar to Climax, Sins of My Father, I Care for U and Lay You Down by Usher would sound great with Ciara’s voice on them. Something that would add a lot of fuel to the release of her 6th album would be a E! documentary type series that shows the wks/months up to her child birth while also showing her in the studio recording songs. October/November would be an ideal release date for the album if she’s reportedly due in April/May. A nice mid tempo song in August, radio deal for it to be a hit on radio, promo tour in September/October and appear/perform on every major daytime and primetime talk show, major magazine articles and a big endorsement with something like Revlon or Olay or a baby/maternity product that’ll attract new fans. Ciara still has the potential to be a huge superstar… But only she if works with the right ppl and she and her team market her outside the Urban community and US and into broader (white) markets and the international markets too
Ciara is everything yall h*** will be on her again once she has a massive hit this year
death! Ciara does not have the vocals or musicianship to pull off Brandys “accapella” she should stick with the cute ratchet whispery nursery rhymes
Jhene who?
Ciara actually has a range unlike Rihanna Brandy and Jhene.
Ciara can sing these songs with no issue imo
Firework
Man down
Prayer
Drunk in love
#Beautiful
LMAO CIARA HAS RANGE WHERE?????????
CIARA SHOULD STICK TO MONOTONE SONGS WHERE SHE CAN SHOW OFF HER FLAT LIFELESS VOCALS
The girls are so pressed over the queen! I need more body party, tell me what your name is,and sophomore bops tbh
Janice… Bye!
Ciara would struggle to sing Gangnam Style.
Zendaya is nothing but a Cassie/Jhene wanna be is vocals are thinner than janets.
whose*
Death @ My Forehead Thos shady ass
LMAO at My Forehead Tho,..LOL that shade.
The Biggest problem is after a decade,Ciara doesn’t have a signature sound or a large enough fan-base.
Besides that, the true blade in the heart of her career occurred during the hiatus between Evolution and Fantasy Ride.
The general public lost interest during that time and for her return single she chose “Neva Eva” and the rest is history.
Ciara has never recovered from that and honestly I don’t think she will.I don’t hate Ciara, as I have all 5 albums.I just think people need to be realistic about things. After 3 commercial failures she is lucky to still have a deal. Just look at Kelly Rowland,technically had only one album flop on her and she was dropped from Columbia Records(Simply Deep did ok)
Maybe she needs to go indie if she can’t manage to sell 500,000 worldwide
You go Gurl, 1, 2, 3 CIARA dayummmm
Ciara is talented chick, no wonder YAWNCE obsessed with her and copied A LOT from Ciara. YAWNCE = Swagger Jacker = Biggest copy cat in Hollywood. Dont forget YAWNCE also copied Mya, Janet, Rihanna, Mariah, Xtina, Britney and the list goes on…………
Iconic cici is disgusting, Ciara must be ashamed for having a stupid stan
Call jazze Pha and lil’ jon. Oh and how about a collaboration with Keri, it worked for brandy and Monica back in the day.
“Doing so, with the full understanding that your time at the label and the star’s legacy depends on the album’s success.” probably should just hand in my resignation instead
There are billions of people in the world, with only a few hundred stars performing, so why would someone have to TAKE ciara’s place to be successful. Only a small minded dumb fool would think that they have to take another stars place to be successful. No one can ever replace ciara, because no one can out perform her in dance or song. She is unique and in a class all by herself.
Shut up jealous fool. You know more about Ciara’s career than she does LOL LOL ONly a jealous hater would know all that stuff. Ciara will be around forever. You told the same lies before her last hit CD was released. You have no power to stop the greatest stage act since Michael Jackson. that act is the great ciara. She could do the same as others and just remake old songs, but she shows genius every time she creates new music that others try hard to copy.
It would be nice if she could do a song with Rihanna or Janet or even producers like Disclosure or Timbaland for a RnB sound. I dont stan for Ciara but I do want her to start taking her future and not the one she’s engaged to.
*her future seriously
