Hot Shot: Ciara Continues To Work On New Album With Dr. Luke

Published: Tuesday 19th Aug 2014 by Sam

R&B chanteuse Ciara is wasting no time getting back to business.

The new mother has been hard at work on her new studio album, which will serve as the follow-up to last year’s self-titled LP.

And she’s enlisted hitmakers to shepherd the project – namely Rock City (who is an A&R’ing the as yet untitled set) and Pop maestro Dr. Luke. Super Ci has been stationed in the studio with the latter – cooking up what we’re hoping will be more winners. A consistent hit vendor, the Dr. has prescribed smashes for the likes of Katy Perry, Pink, Britney Spears, Rihanna, and more.

Peep a snap of them in the lab above…

      She would want to keep cute, and continue working on Flopliyahs hologram!

      • Mark111 (Cici Finna Be a Bride…Pending) August 19, 2014

        Even an Aaliyah hologram would book more stages and sell more records than Ciara. (Looks at name… chuckles)

  3. FutureCIARA August 19, 2014

    #POPara!!!!!
    Coming to slay!
    She gave the newbies a chance.

  4. LONDON6 August 19, 2014

    the most she can hope for is being a successful singles artist [Jason derulo] she will never be a big album seller

    • bryan August 19, 2014

      She already has two platinum albums, she can sell if she had proper promo and the key thing, CONSISTENCY

      • FutureCIARA August 19, 2014

        I agree. She just has to stay out there now, and be consistent. This is a different era for everybody in the industry, a shift has changed everything around with the way people rill out music and begin promotion

  5. Ozzy August 19, 2014

    Hmmmmm I’m intrigued by whatever they’re cooking. If its a generic ass mess, I’m not here for it. But it does seem smart of her to be exploring other genres like Pop and not box herself in R&B. At the end of the day, Dr.Luke has hits to his name and white people love his s***. I’ll be checking for it.

    • FutureCIARA August 19, 2014

      Awww!!! #Tear

  6. Slay_Hive August 19, 2014

    She’s a little late for working with Dr. Luke but good luck 😉

    • FutureCIARA August 19, 2014

      This isn’t her first time working with him though. Sooo…

    • Christopher Knowles August 19, 2014

      Ciara is the definition of LATE lol

  7. TAMARTIAN#1 August 19, 2014

    Lmao FLOP

    • FutureCIARA August 19, 2014

      …… The irony.

      • Christopher Knowles August 19, 2014

        Tamar is more relevant and sold more than Ciara in 2013-2014 lol

  8. Christopher Knowles August 19, 2014

    Ciara is a bum b****. She hasn’t had a certified album in almost ten years LMAO. Who keeps wasting money on this flop?

  9. BeyRihLiyah August 19, 2014

    If its a song like im out or overdose then she Might have a hit on her hands but the album will still flop regardless

  10. CherylSoldierr August 19, 2014

    I’m here for it. Ciara can come back and slay at any time. She needs to go more pop in my opinion.

    • Krista August 19, 2014

      What does Floperyl need to do?

      • CherylSoldierr August 19, 2014

        Nothing. She just had a number 1. Sit

    • BeyRihLiyah August 19, 2014

      I took a liking to your fave I did my research on her and she’s actually good

      • CherylSoldierr August 19, 2014

        Yaaas!

    • FutureCIARA August 19, 2014

      Yes Babe!

      Post that Mash-Up vid!!!

  11. That’s miss Sophia to you August 19, 2014

    That’s good hopefully she’ll make some kind of impact this era good luck Ci.

    • FutureCIARA August 19, 2014

      I just LOVE This!

  12. LOTUS August 19, 2014

    I am still a bit pressed on how fast she abandoned ‘CIARA’ after it was released. That album has so many potential hits…Lets hope this go-round CiCi is conscious on giving her fans what they ask for.

    • CherylSoldierr August 19, 2014

      Babe same for lotus. That could’ve slayed

      • LOTUS August 19, 2014

        Ahh yes, ‘Lotus’ was criminally underrated. I believe her public image at that time wasn’t the best. Her live performances were poor, vocals were shakey, her body wasn’t as fit as she normally is. It was a weird transitional period in her career that didn’t quite translate how she wanted to her fans.

  13. Queen Navy August 19, 2014

    Dr. Luke? How desperate of her to resort to that.
    Epic Records must’ve put her struggling ass on notice. Yeah good luck with that, because no matter what fad-of-moment she tries to latch onto, I predict her next album won’t do any better than the last handful of them that struggled to go uranium.

  14. Stephy. August 19, 2014

    I’m starting to like her. Maybe I will purchase/invest into her next “ERA”. I feel as tho we need to support her. She tries REALLY hard & thats all that matters.

    • FutureCIARA August 19, 2014

      OHHH Stephanie!! Dot make me cry hunn!!!

    • Mark111 (Cici Finna Be a Bride…Pending) August 19, 2014

      I bought every Ciara album minus Fantacy Ride. That album would later grow on me, but Basic Instinct was trash.

  15. Mark111 (Cici Finna Be a Bride…Pending) August 19, 2014

    Let me call it, she’ll release two songs, they’ll flop and then her team (if you even want to call them that) will say they were buzz singles. She’ll keep trowing crap at the wall and whatever sticks will be the first single, but even then there won’t be a release date for the album. So late 2016 is when the public will NOT buy this album.

    • BeyRihLiyah August 19, 2014

      she just a trash flop who got lucky with mcdonalds bathroom party last year and they got the nerve to comapare her to the Queen Of pop(Janet) and the Queen of Urban-Pop (Aaliyah)

      • Mark111 (Cici Finna Be a Bride…Pending) August 19, 2014

        She did get lucky with that song and still messed it up. Like how many chances are you gonna screw up? The world wanted Overdose and nope, she gave us I’m Out, lol. I think Super Turnt Up would’ve been a urban hit,but nope. And you know she and her team is not gonna plan this next album out.

    • BeyRihLiyah August 19, 2014

      she’s just meant to flop and im out was a good moderate summer banger tho but she just need to get on welfare/section 8 and raise her son because she has no place in this industry lol

  16. CzarM August 19, 2014

    This is like a much, much, much lower budget version of Britney Spears working with will.I.am, and we all know how that book ended. Whoever actually still considers themselves fans of Ciara should reconcile that her era has passed her. Like Mario, Omarion and Christina Milian, she’s a 2004 fad that just kind of hung around after the expiration date. She has no brand recognition, a thin fan base, and therefore her career lives single to single — lucky if anything manages to even ding the top 40. There will be no big come back. Which is why the reaction to her working with Dr. Luke’s wack ass from her desperate fans hoping for a miracle is as sad as it hilarious…”yeah girl, try pop this time”…”get that white audience on your side!” *snicker* Are you serious?! In a world with a bunch of flaky Katy Perry/Miley Cyrus/Taylor Swift valley sIuts overcrowding the marketplace using that same sound, vying for Clear Channel CHR deals, American Idol performance slots and their stans rabidly flocking to iTunes with every single release, believing that Ciara — of all people — will somehow be able to squeeze behind that velvet rope (even with the aid of some generic, overused pop producer who is damn near out of style and most likely isn’t going to giver her his best material) is akin to believing in these magic beans I’m willing to sell your ass for really cheap. Heh. The loons that hang out in the comments section of TGJ; always good for a laugh.

    • LB (Shanene > Wanda) August 20, 2014

      This novel though, has anybody got time for it?

  17. Mark111 (Cici Finna Be a Bride…Pending) August 19, 2014

    Ciara never had a good team or mentor. She should’ve been touring on her 2nd album and not those bull crap joint tours with rappers (scream tour). How are you 10 years in the game and still on such a basic level with the new girls Sevyn, Mila, and Tinashe when you’re peers with Rihanna and Beyonce(solo)?

  18. DMWN August 19, 2014

    Look at the pitiful Cici fan so desperate for her to get any crumb of success that they’d actually champion her resorting to this. Ha. I’d rather my favorite flop with dignity than go out looking like a begger on the street accepting charity. I don’t know how she keeps getting all these last chances. If after working with this cheesy producer of pop she fails for the umpteenth time, then she may as well join Barnum & Bailey circus.

  19. CherylSoldierr August 19, 2014

    Mark666 stawpppp

  20. Lmfao_Hoe August 19, 2014

    I’m just mad she paid Overdose dust, that song including a video could of put her back on the charts again as example (:Body Party) along with including more performances.

  21. Brian310 August 20, 2014

    She just needs to get back to doing uptempo club bangers…the world fell in love with her when she was delivering thise kind of tracks along with killer visuals and choreography…Idk why she always jumps on trends so late that pop sound us starting to die out and urban is making its way back.

    • Brian310 August 20, 2014

      *those, is

    • Shawn August 20, 2014

      Didn’t she try that and flopped? Did you forget the basic instinct era? The go just isn’t here for her unless it has something to do with her IG pics or baby future.

      • Shawn August 20, 2014

        The GP**

  22. Avenger August 20, 2014

    He must’ve owed someone a favor.

  23. Kandi August 20, 2014

    It’s funny how this site refers to Ciara as a r&b chanteuse when the b**** CANT SING, recycles dance moves, and can’t get a hit, but will attemp to tear DOWN rihanna the more successful of the bunch…. I can’t with this s***…
