I actually think this era will be better than the Fantasy Ride era. With Fantasy Ride High Price leaked b4 the release date & they went with Go Girl (mind you) they were releasing singles b4 the album was actually DONE, which is why the album kept gettting pushed back. They brung out Go Girl (which was picked by the label, not Ciara) it was doing well at radio there was absolutely NO PROMOTION for Go Girl at all bcuz they expected it to sell off of Ciara's name alone. They gave up on Go Girl & pushed the album back. (mind you) the album still wasn't done & in the mist of all of this, the singles were steadily leaking left & ride. They had to go BACK in the studio & record some new tracks. (mind you) the album still wasn't DONE & The album was pushed back AGAIN & all of this was goin on while she was in the process of switching management so they leaked her material out of spite, but they still decided to bring out Never Ever. Never Ever, which wasn't much of a splash for Ciara because again (it wasn't properly promoted bcuz they expected it to sell off her name alone)..Then they brung out Love Sex Magic which did VERY well world wide, by the time Love Sex Magic came out, Never Ever was beginning to pick up steam on radio & it peaked around the same time Love Sex Magic did...Never Ever or Love Sex Magix wasn't properly promoted UNTIL the first & second week of releasing Fantasy Ride & when Fantasy Ride came out it had nothing but leaked tracks on it & i'm sure everybody heard all the songs already so what's the point of buying an album that has leaked a year ago????..EXACTALY there is no point...with this album its totally different bcuz EVERYTHING has been planned & thought out from singles to videos..NOTHING has leaked except 2 songs & i'm sure the label leaked them to get buzz & more excitement about the album, which they did. There's more anticipation for this album bcuz some ppl wanna see if she's gonna fail or succeed. I think she will be fine. I feel as though the label knows wha their doin. They are certain about what direction she's goin in & they are sure about the singles which is why they shot videos b4 they sent them to radio bcuz they are cnfident about them. I hear alot of talk about RIDE, ppl are anticipating it, even non-Ciara fans are feeling it. I feel that she WILL get her urban fans back & she will do good bcuz she & her label/management have learned from their mistakes...sooooo good luck Ciara..I'm on board for "Basic Instinct"
