Ciara sat down with Entertainment Focus to discuss her upcoming ‘Basic Instinct’ LP recently. During the conversation, the performer revealed that she intends to go back to her club roots on the album and have fun. Check out what she had to say below:
You’re new album Basic Instinct is coming later this year. Are you still recording the record or have you finished now?
Well I’ve almost finished. I’m about 95% done. That’s what I’m going to do today – I’m going to finalise the (track)listing for my album too. We’re at the very end. We’ve got some interludes and stuff like that but I’m almost at the very end now.
What can we expect from the album?
With this record I’m taking it back to basics and giving my fans what they love. It’s me taking it back to when I first started. I have to say on this record I put a warning that it’s bass heavy because that’s how I started out; the bass is always important…it’s an important ingredient to my music. There’s definitely a lot of bass but at the same time you’re going to be able to put it on and listen to it from beginning to end. It will definitely keep you out of your seat. Even the slow records tell such great stories and are still so good I feel like my fans are going to be happy. I do believe that when you hear the record you’re really gonna have a good time listening to the music. It’s going to take you to a really fun place.
Is it going to be an evolution from your first three albums or will it offer a mixture of sounds?
It’s definitely going to be a mixture. It’s going to have a bit of the ingredients from my first record. One thing I’ve always said is that I want my albums to have all three; I want it to be a bit of the hip-hop, a little bit of the R&B and pop. I’ve been very blessed and my music has always been able to go into those areas. For example with my first record I toured with 50 Cent, Lil’ Jon and Ludacris…I was the only female there and I was able to hold my own in the middle of all those guys. Later on in my career I had a record with Justin (Timberlake) and it was very different from my world. I was just able to share that side of me there. It’s really important to me that it’s a combination and that it can travel from the hood in Atlanta to the UK – that’s important to me. It’s definitely going to have a little hip-hop, R&B and pop. {Source}

CIERROR- BASIC INSTINK IN STORES FLOPPIN ON AUGUST 17TH!!!!!!!!!
Please stfu, Beyonce is not the only successful artist, maybe if you would take ur head out of her ass for 5 minutes, you wud see that, ur obviously brain washed, you come to every Ciara post & talk sh#$. Ciara’s really not thinking abt you, remember she’s the one with the career, not you so stay the f#& mad!
So many of y’all Hating!!!!!!!! In the end hate is really love disguised….I know everybody who had something negative to say will be picking up a copy of Basic Instinct….And I bet each and every one of y’all be grinding on the bus or train seats when RIDE comes up on your iPod…I know y’all it’s hard admitting you actually love someone…
#TeamCiara
Basic Instinct in stores Aug. 17th!!!!! IMPACTING Billboard 200!!! Let’s go get em!!! Keep the haters mad and talking…
I WONDER WHAT U ALL R GONNA SAY WHEN BASIC INSTINCTS DOESN’T FLOP
=================================================================
CIARA- BASIC INSTINCTS IN STORES AUGUST 17TH!!!!!!!!!
You know what? I really don’t like Ciara as a singer because that’s one thing I personally feel she can’t do, but she’s one hell of a performer so you gotta respect her for that. Since I’m for the underdog, I will go buy a copy of Basic Instinct even if it’s to give to one of my cousins. Haters are a trip. How you gon’ get mad because of someone else’s preference in a particular artist or music? Hate is late. Move on people!!!
Jamie, thanku!! Now that’s how you give an opinion without hating!
Once again, JAMIE! Maybe you should listen to her USTREAM’S OR HER LIVE ACAPELLA’S. The woman can sing exceptionally, she just doesn’t always show it, but she can def sing. Just now to powerhouse vocal quality. Anyway, Ciara is the s***, her album will slay, because she has her SQUAD behind her (her fans, & we will not LOSE!). I love that she’s keeping all elements, R&B, Hip Hop & Pop. Imma love this
#TEAM CIARA IS LIKE KOBE AND THE LAKERS….WE DEFEATED THE COCKY ASS CELTICS AND WE WON THE PLAYOFFS EVEN WHEN WE WERE DOWN 2-3……I GOT FAITH IN BASIC INSTINCT AS MUCH FAITH AS I HAD IN THE LAKERS WHEN THEY WERE DOWN 13 PTS IN GAME 7!!!!!!!!
==========================================================
CIARA- BASIC INSTINCTS IN STORES AUGUST 17TH!!!!!!!!!
@DANBOFFICAL AND BEYDABESS… YALL NEED TO GET F***** LIVES LIKE WORD. ALL YALL DO IS HATE ON OTHER ARTISTS WHICH SHOWS YALLS DUMBASSES AINT GOT NO LIFE.
IM HAPPY FOR CIARA AND OF COURSE THIS WILL DO BETTER THAN FANTASY RIDE. I MEAN SHE CANT GET ANY LOWER THAN THAT.
Not a big fan of CIARA but I have to admit I’m really looking for to hearing this new project. I love “RIDE” its so hott & s***.
sounds like CHRISTINA AGUILERA
BACK TO BASICS
I wish her the best.!’ Can’t wait.!’
I just don’t think this album will do well, man. She’s got one more chance, though. I’ll be buying the album, hopefully it’s good.
@DAVE
I haven’t even listened to her Ustreams or Youtube videos so I will definitely give them a listen, and fans of Ciara don’t give nobody that much power to let them upset you. I’m a Kelly Rowland stan, and I know how ya’ll feel to have an artist you “KNOW” is talented, but all they get is negativity. Block it out and be the best stan/fan you could ever be.
Please let the haters hate..but it’s not a competition why can’t there be more than one artist doing well?? and If you think her album is gonna flop..think again have you heard Waka Floka feat. Ciara – Hard In Da Paint (remix)? If you haven’t here it is>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6g3cpr9N2AA << & trust all of ya'll who got something negative to say will be the 1st ones in the store looking for her CD but like @JAMIE said Block it out and be the best stan/fan ever and Ciara is back BETTER THAN EVER!

August 17th, 2010 BASIC INSTINCT
I can’t wait for this album to come out! I’m so glad she push up the release date. I just want to hurry up smash these haters predictions on what she’s going to do and how’s she’s going to flop so hard! My girl is putting in the work and I hope she releases a 2nd single just to seal the deal. Cici’s will win August 17th! No question about it!
gooooooooooooo cici!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE ONLY THING I DON’T LIKE ABOUT THIS POST IS DAT THIS DUDE GOT HIS HANDS ALL OVA MY GURL FACE…..LIKE WTF YOOOO!!!!!!!
=============================================================
CIARA- BASIC INSTINCTS IN STORES AUGUST 17TH!!!!!!!!!
Can’t wait :]
Umm I don’t think this album will do well to be honest, I mean WHERE IS THE PROMOTION?? Ciara stans, can you tell me why she is so lazy? She has potential but this b**** just isn’t putting in the work. Good luck to her though…
@ADE Lazy???? WTF are you talking about, it’s her label, Ciara is planning to do a pre album tour soon and she’s doing the bets she can. Making an album isn’t easy and your comment just goes to show how ignorant you are about talent and the industry.

Yessir!!!!!!!!! If it’s anything like Evolution I’ll be happy.
I can’t ask for another Goodies because she’s grown since then but a good mix of Evolution and pop Fantasy Ride Ciara will be perfect.
@ THEREALESTMC & MADONNA THRONE- I’M WITH Y’ALL OVER 100%…..
I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE MONITOR THESE BLOGS, THERE’S 40 COMMENTS AND AT LEAST HALF OF THEM ARE FROM DANBOFFICIAL OR BEYDABESS!
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT CHRISTINA DID SAY ABOUT HER B2B ALBUM.
CIARA YOU NEED TO COME UP WITH YOUR OWN IDEAS. THAT’S WHY YOU ARE FLOPPING HARD!
@Bjksolo, I’m with you – get off Cici’s face. I’m feeling itchy for her!
@Minaj , that’s just the mixture I’m hoping we get with Basic Instinct. I’d love it!
Why are commenters so constantly negative? Every one has a favorite and that’s great.
That’s what makes art special. But do you have to belittle and attack every person who isn’t that artist? And if you don’t like the bloggers themselves, why do you keep coming back? I can’t understand that mindset.
Sorry BeyGaga Im Always A Hit! And Sorry Not Everything Beyonce Come’s Out With Is A Hit EGO? VIDEO PHONE? BROKEN HEAR-TED FLOP OOPS MEAN’T GIRL!! ? GET ME BODIED ?,,UP GRADE YOU? AND LADY GAGA MUSIC IS TRASH I STOPPED LISTENING TO HER WHEN SHE CAME OUT WITH THAT ALEJANDRO ISH!!!
@ADE – couldn’t you have chosen a different name? smh
Anyway, if it really is her label then that’s even f****** worse. Usually when artists are about to drop an album they do a lot of promotion, specially artists like Ciara, who lets face it, needs all the promotion she can get. And I’m not even trying to shade her with that comment. So for her label to be procrastinating and taking their time speaks volumes. Too bad for her. But still like I said, I wish her well because she really does have potential.
YES YOU TELL DEM ADE LOL SHE DOES HAVE POTENTIAL
Well im still excited about this album and I will be buying it!”
F*** the haterz damme yes we all have our favourites but it dont mean we cant like other artist or we have to bash other artist dame have variety stupid stans! Anywayz I hope the album is good the only reason ciara flopped was because she did not promote so I hope she wont make the same mistake this time round.!” Good day!
I don’t like Ciara at all but I am really liking her recent songs so I think I will buy this album
