‘Basic Instinct’ may have been a chart disaster, however that isn’t stopping a certain Ciara from pressing on. For, according to a reliable source, the R&B star and her label Jive are set to release another single from the project next month.
Find out which it’ll be after the jump…
Turn It Up (ft. Usher)!
The uptempo banger, which is already in heavy rotation on UK radio, is reportedly set to have its accompanying video shot later this month, with dance rehearsals having already commenced before Christmas.
Granted things can and often do change, ‘Turn It Up’ is -as at writing- ‘Basic Instinct’s’ next single offering. A fact Ciara has been alluding to for the better part of this week on Twitter. See for yourself.
———————————-
Given the LP’s sales, the fact another single is being lifted from it is as sure a sign as any that there is more than meets the eye regarding this whole ‘Basic Instinct’ episode. Scratch that, we know there’s more to the story – yet aren’t at liberty to elaborate. If only…
Still, this has to be the smartest move yet when it comes to the handling of the project. For, beyond being the album’s best song next to ‘Ride’, and featuring the unstoppable Usher , ‘Turn It Up’ is a solid indicator of the type of music Ciara should be making at this point – Pop with R&B sensibilities. Whether it was her or the label pushing this ‘back to my roots’ slant, it’s hella ironic that an outright Pop cut is not only the track most are feeling, yet also her biggest hope of scoring that oh-so-needed-hit. Here’s hoping all pans out well for the immensely talented, yet badly handled Ms. Harris.

trent and sam u guys are unfair why do you guys block ONLY RIHANNA STANS???
IS IT BECAUSE SHE WAS ALWAYS SNATCHING WIGS????
It’s too little too late. I wish her best of luck though.
UNBLOCK @ NICKY SAM THATS ALL.
Ciara is definitely here to stay. She keeps us up and entertained with her performances. Go CiCi, im rooting for you!
I jsut knew I was going to be the first comment, SMH. should’ve known the ones who “hate” her is always 1st in line.
YESSS
They need to Unblock my Nicky
We all know Nicky SNATCHED everyones wig on this site so they went to complain like the little punk b****** they are SMH Yall weak as f***! cant take the TRUTH!
If Ciara wasn’t such a threat, then other stan members of different arist, would NOT be in here. am i right? you wouldn’t see other stans rushing in a toni braxton, ashanti, etc. to give off such negative opinions. go cici, i got faith in you
LOl Dis T***** Stay Flopping this single still not saving flop stink
Working overtime Rihanna fans? Y’all are here before the fans. Impressive.
Yes Cisus!!! Determination is the KEY to success. Go Girl:)
good choice:) she can make it
song is garbage
man i wanted heavy rotation up next UGH!
Isnt C-error copying the Janet move in that pic?? Janet always does the soft-p*** scene in all her concerts with a set-up “fan”.
This is hot, and it’s on trend with what’s going on in music today. Turn it Up should have been lead single, then Ride, Gimme Dat. This song would have charted higher than Ride on BB Hot 100 and made a lot of noise on rhythmic/pop, which is what she could have used to have a better opening week.
Good Job Cici!!!!…still rooting for you!
DEAD @ trentina blocking
PUH-f******-thetic
this site is pretty shady but has sunken to new sewer lows
first it does not post ANYTHING positive about rihannas record breaking achievements during her LOUD era.
then the bias is so BLATANT and shameless
now its blocking comments and users.
there is only so much i can take.
this shall be my final post.
no more hits from me, not that it will make a difference.
bye yall.
turn it up is a great song i think the song will peak at 10 on the hot 100 and the album will end up pushing 7000 k max WW
Life is so lonely. Why not change it rignt now?
😛 😛 😛 ———-Bla c k ‘W h it e ‘F li rts. C* 0M———
a nice place to meet rich guys, ho t babies, Hollywood cel ebrities, who are searching for their special someone. Are you the one?? Come and have a try !
Love that BET performance with her and Breezy, oh and the song is alright I guess.
Its too late for Ciara to capture that Goodies era her mistake was letting the Dream do the production for the whole album.This girl is to young for it to be over for her. Hopefully she will learn from this mistake and next go round have that album that will put her back in the spotlight.
“Scratch that, we know there’s more to the story – yet aren’t at liberty to elaborate. If only . . .”
@Samantha
You’re not at liberty to elaborate because you have no info to elaborate about. Who are you kidding? You don’t have any inside info about what’s going on behind the scenes with Ci Ci’s label and team. If you did, you would’ve given specifics by now. This flop ass blog isn’t the go to source for insider industry info. You guys post opinion, lies, gossip, the occassional interview, video clips, songs, and snipets. Blogs with ten times the traffic of TGJ don’t have info about Ciara’s label problems, but you do? . . . Whatever
…Agreed with Sam, Ciara definitely has obstacles in her path from inside troubles with the label to their efforts to get radio support. The song is solid, just like most of the album. The focus on going back to urban roots derived from a push through her own fans along with the haters! This era was suppose to be the opposite of Fantasy Ride, which was her attempt at making it big on the pop charts. I think what she did this time around has a great balance between the two genres. Ciara can’t rely on pop radio, she’s only a cross over artist occassionally. R&B is her core(she did well with ride & on Urban video outlets), so she should cater to them somewhat or atleast not abandon them. Still all the pressure to take it back to the ‘A’ because she moved to L.A. and made friends(and decided to broaden her horizons in her music) was not going to turn it all around. Ciara still have mountains to climb! Ciara should contiue making music similar to what’s on B.I., it’s just a matter of her changing around the people that back her as well as revamping her image and severing ties to aloooooot of things she’s associated with! This will help her career tons.
Its amazing that jive records is promoting this album which was been poorly recieved yet they are not promoting R Kelly’s album which was well recieved. R Kelly has 1 video which was released in September & Ciara has 3 & she will be shooting her 4th. With 4 videos R Kelly would go platnum. All the best to Ciara though, she has a lot of potential.
I’m not AT ALL a fan of miss Cici, but my boyfriend bought and played the cd for me… After hearing it, I’m still not a fan, BUTTTTTTT I did say that this song SHOULD HAVE BEEN the lead to this album. It was the only song that actually had a chance of being a crossover and also doing GREAT on the charts. This was a smart move for album sales. She still needs to get her ass up and promote…
Un huh…
Ciara >>>>>>
So according to this site, Ciara has talent- yet Rihanna doesn’t?
CDFU!!
Next to Brit…RIh is that chick!
PLEASE!!!!!!!!! TRENT AND SAM DON’T UNBLOCK NICKY. LET HIM STAY BLOCKED. SOMEONE WANTS HIM UNBLOCKED AND HE WAS ON HERE USING TRENT NAME TO TELL LIES AND WHAT EVERELSE.
SO THAT THING (NICKY) SHOULD STAY BLOCKED I DONT’T CARE WHO FANS HE IS
Y’all blocked the McFenty stans? I applaud you. I might actually read the comments more often then.
its a great song indeed.. She nails the last chorus.. She’s gonna make a huge comeback one day
@KelzRowland Rihanna can’t sing, she can’t dance, she can’t write. Ciara can at least dance.
1 LOL at ylal lyying yall know somethign behidn the scnes but c ant say it LOL
2 every hit of her has a feature wack
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
AND NO UNBLOCKING NICKY PLEASE,HES A PSYCHO!
IF THIS SITE IS SO DAMN SHADY THEN WHY DO YOU KEEP COMING HERE? YOU SAY THIS SITE IS SHADY AND YOU ARE STILL HERE TALKING HOW SHADY IT IS. LMFAO
iDon’t know how iFeel about this…iDon’t really like the song. BUT…a video COULD change my mind.
Not ALL Rihanna stans are blocked cuz Im RIGHT HERE. BUT it is time us Rihanna stans leave this site and be done. Time to flock back to Rihanna daily. 🙂 BYE!!!!
Yall kno y yall riri stans are………..cuz yall hate on everything someone havent yall heard wat goes around cums around but back to CIARA!! I luv this song if she would have released “Turn it Up” n “You Can Get It” her would have sold good becuz of a good pop song and a gud R&B song but I dont care still support her no matter wat luv u Ciara!!<3
She needs a hit and ‘Turn it Up’ is just that.
I like this song but this song will probably survive in the UK. She should release Heavy Rotation in the U.S. I think if she create an Excellent Unforgettable video for Heavy Rotation and Turn it Up, her albun might survive. Or maybe she should release Listen To My Song in the U.S. Im starting to think there’s hope 4 her after all.
I WIsh she would give up already! Just stop and retire!
hopeful
@ROYALKEV
I agree with you 100%!!!!!!!!
I feel as though the label let Ciara do her thing, and since she didn’t meet expectations they are taking control over the rest of this era. More then likely the label chose Turn It Up as the next single (due to low album sales I’m surprised she received a 3rd single, which is kind of proof that her label finally has gotten involved). I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a re-release of Basic Instinct soon, which mostly new material.
@RoyalKev
Agreed.
I have so much faith in this girl. Her time is coming, I feel it 🙂
And LMAO @Rihanna stans. Shut up with the b*******. Ya’ll know ya’ll LOVE TGJ! 😆
yes yes yes i cant wait .
BI is finished, and what would be the point of releasing more singles? Ciara screwed herself up. Wannabe socialite.
I believe in Cira. She just has too much talent to let it go to waste.
Yes Keep Nicki blocked—her idiot ass needs to stay in limbo. B**** is crazy.
Anyway I remember that performance..I think it was the 08 AMA’s when Ciara performed with CB (pictured on the floor)..
F.L.O.P.! Ciara is basically extinct. Bye C-error.
I’ll be happy when all stans leave blogs except for the ones dedicated to the artists they’re staning for then sites can have a fair discussion and opinion about whats good or not without juvenile staning behavior.
The problem is that ciara simply cant sing, and on most of this album she sounds out of her comfort zone. With basic instinct she should’ve gone back to basics and sung songs that compliment her vocals.
@ Graffiti well obviously your opinion is irrelevant because Rihanna just had 2 #1 singles in the past 2 months…when was the last time C-error had a #1?
a top 5 album?
went platinum?
made half a mil a show on tour?
performed at every major award show?
done a hit collabo?
When will yall see that RIh is the total package..BEAUTY.VOICE.BODY.TALENT.RELELVANT
*GIGGLES*..WHAT’S MY NAME!!!
She shoulda released “Turn it up”/ “Heavy Rotation” instead of “Gimme Dat”/”Speechless” in the first place that would have been awsome. Hopefullythis does well and she PROMOTES it.
I agree with tgj —- This song is amazing, the video will be the ultimate weapon and I just HOPE her label PROMOTES IT!!!
Ciara is a see it to believe it Artist
She needs to be showcased, Live shows->TOUR *Crosses my fingers for her to go on tour w/britney spears in the us* -> TV performances (the world should be overwhelmed with seeing her on as many TV shows as possible) -> AWARD SHOWS -> etc!
Ciara is TOOO TALENTED to be handeled the way she has. Her GIMME DAT performances were EPIC and her RIDE performances were mesmorizing. Im a huge fan n I hope she reaches where we all can agree she should be. TOP 10 + #1
This is one of the few songs i liked from her Album
@ joseph – HOW IS CIARA SOOO TALENTED AND SHE CAN SING HALF AN OCTAVE?????
LMAO
ALL SHE KNOWS HOW TO DO IS THAT BACK BEND,,,*GIGGLES*
Delusional !This is not gonna do it in the USA market thats for darn mizzafizzin sure! the mistake was folowing “Ride” with “Gimme Dat” and taking so long to do it! The problem still is “Does Ciara go hard with R n B or embrace pop with something like USHERS ‘OMG’ which ,admittedly ,’saved ‘USHERS project.?” I think that Ciara should have made a great crunk n B . Not just TRY to but execute well with RIDE x3 . By that I mean three songs the equal of “RIDE” as 1st through 3rd single.
Hope she dropped every ounce of her fishy p.ssy juice in cb’s mouth
GO CIARA HOPEFULLY HOPEFULLLLLLLLLLY
The “turn it up” version on the leaked album, which was without Usher and sounded like a totally different song was much better than this. There was something special about that version, whereas this one has that generic sound that everyone is chasing at the moment.
Still, wish Ciara all the best. She deserves more recognition.
ciara cant sing but neither can rihanna and britney and half the so called singers out there. At least ciara can dance. Im just ready for queen bey to come out shut everybody down. That chick is in a category by herself. I wish ciara luck tho.
THATS RIGHT CICI. KEEP IT MOVING. DONT LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN
i think this is a GUD CHOICE
I’m not gonna kich a bish when she’s down. I actually like the song choice and it’s true these days…you don’t really need a hit album but a hit single on Itunes or a ringtone and you’ll be ok. G’luck girl…shoulder shrug!
I`M SO EXCITED THAT WE ARE GETTING ANOTHER SINGLE..I THINK SHE SHOULD RELEASE “YOU CAN GET IT” FOR HER URBAN FANS AS WELL..BUT NOT AT THE SAME TIME..SHE SHOULD WAIT UNTIL “TURN IT UP” GET’S HEAVY ROTATION & THEN RELEASE “YOU CAN GET IT”…SO THAT IT WILL BE A DUAL RELEASE..& WHEN SUMMER HITS RELEASE “YEAH I KNOW”
YES YES YES!!!!!!! I BEEN HEARING TURN IT UP ON CHOICE FM (UK)!!!!! THEN PUT OUT WANTS FOR DINNER PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE THEN A DELUXE EDITION WITH 2 MORE SINGLES (BLAUW!!!!!!!!!!!! WOULD SMASH IT)

Anyway I remember that performance..I think it was the 08 AMA’s when Ciara performed with CB (pictured on the floor)..
—————————————————————————————————-
Gurl…that was the BET Awards! You know damn well they can’t dance like that at the AMA’s! The AMA’s are too mainstream and family oriented for that type of performance.
Well…I’ll admit I don’t like the song that much, it’s cute, but I don’t think it’s that great. *shrugs* However I see why they are choosing this as a single. It’s a fun catchy dance song that is featuring a big name artist! That is what she needs right now, just having Usher on the record will get it some attention. Hopefully the video will slay and it might just get her a hit. We need an all out dance video that show cases her one true talent, dancing. She needs to remind people of why she got so big in the first place.
I think it is obvious it won’t save the album, it’s done and over with, but it could at least get her something on the charts and maybe she might be able to snag a couple of performances. Who knows maybe she might even do a tour. Good Luck C-Error! Lol!
why do people hate ciara so much…what kind of person laughs at someone else humility? Yall act like the girl aint neva had a hit…cici will be back on top dont worry she aint a quitter go ci ci!
wtf

I know right! Ugh! They are soo annoying! Ya’ll keep coming her saying the same sh*t over and over again! If you don’t like what Sam and Trent have to say on THEIR site so much then stop coming here! Damn ya’ll are so stupid! Realize the fact that they don’t like the person you stan for and will undoubtely always shade her! Get over it already! Why don’t you all go worship your fave at _______ Daily! Sh*t, ya’ll were boycotting, why don’t you go back to doing that! None of ya’ll will be missed!
Trent & Sam I applaud the both of you for blocking those annoying ass forehead stans! This site will be a lot better without them! I think they blocked annoying racist asswipe @Wire too! Thank God! That was long overdue!
This is a terrible move for the U.S.
“Yeah I Know” should be the single for the U.S.
NEXT ——–>
Nothing she can do will salvage the gargantuan FLOP that is ‘Basic Instinct.’
Honestly this should have been her first single!!!!!! I know I said this MIGHT save her album weeks ago, but honestly nothing will at this point. Nevertheless, I want a motherfucking modern day MJ and Janet “Scream” dance video between these two and a full pledge s** scene, not the sissy s*** with her and 50 in “Can’t Leave Em Alone.” Pull out all the fucken stops, Ciara, and then be forever done with BI and Jive!
CIARAAAAA!!!! Please. PLEASE. PLEASE!
well Basic Instinct has sold around 75K which ain’t s*** for real, but it’s better than nothing. I’m pretty sure with the right video and radio releases(to Pop/Urban/Mainstream and International) it can be a WW top 10 hit which would increase her sales and I think the next singles should be in this order: Heavy Rotation, Yeah I Know, You Can Get It and then Wants for Dinner. I’m pretty cofident that Turn It Up will be a huge hit and if Yeah I Know and Heavy Rotation are released, that they will be hits too. So with the right promo, radio and video releases, Basic Instinct can sell around 2 mil WW which is pretty decent especially for an R&B artists. But what’s crazy is that ppl keep saying she needs to do Pop/R&B. She already tried that with Fantasy Ride and it wasn’t accpeted, remember it sold 300K WW. But I do agree, songs like Turn It Up, Heavy Rotation, I Run It, Wants for Dinner and You Can Get It are better Ciara songs and would get Ciara more critical praise.
Definitely a smart decision to release this song because USHER is in it and they are gonna do some of the best dancing we have ever seen since Michael Jackson!!!! Its gonna be a banger in the POP oriented clubs and the video is gonna be sick. I personally don’t care for the song but I can bear listening to it. Its not horrible so the label is making the smartest decision they could ever make regarding the Basic Instinct project because ppl are gonna anticipate to see the dancing in this video!! I jus hope the video is all dance and ppls expectations are exceeded!!!
I prefer Heavy Rotation, but whatevs.
Poor CiCi. 🙁
she may as well go the pop route like everyone else
Ciara> Keri
Jive is only supporting this single , they didn’t support the album , they want her to do POP so therefore she needs to switch f****** labels (present it to all the peers) , take awhile off maybe 1,2, or 3 years. Try out a movie in the year that she’s on break (not Mama I Wanna Sing the movie looks low BUDGET ) , then make a comeback .
Great choice single. Should have been on a POP album though.
The ENTIRE album is HORRIBLE…. she needs to STOP promotion & start fresh with a new sound, new material, new producers, writers, image…. EVERYTHING!!!!!!!
@VA Stand Up
Yes it was 2008 here is a little clip of it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZxalfMee68
Go ciara
There is nothing Ciara can really do to salvage B.I. She should just let B.I. be what it was and prepare for another album; new producers, new sound, new look, the whole nine. Ciara has talent no doubt about that. I wish her the best.
This song should have been released in November!
Jive/Ciara really does not know what they are doing.
They should have released these songs in this order:
1. Promo/Basic Instinct (U got me) = did it! (April)
2. First Single/Ride = did it! (April)
Then they should have released the album in MAY or JUNE!
but since they didn’t……
3. Buzz single to radio/Speechless in May (since it leaked at that time)
4. Promo buzz during getting the album buzz release – Gimme Dat – July (when it leaked)
5. Second single/Turn it Up to POP in August
6. Third single/U Can Get It to Urban in September
We should really be in Ciara’s fourth and final singles right now……. while she prepares work on a movie (haitus and work on her fifth album).
7. Fourth Single to Urban I Run This in December
8. Fifth Single to Pop in January – remixed version with completely different sound with BOTH “girls get your money” and “wants for dinner” BOTH songs had huge potential; but production sucked big time. I can foresee these to be remixed into much better reincarnations a la “gimmie dat urban bass slow remix” and the even better bei meijor remix to “ride”.
9. If they had followed that plan outlined above; they could be milking a 6 (or 9th single depending on all the double singles you count) and release “heavy rotation” with a featured rapper/remix just for the sake of it in April.
If they had done it the above way, Ciara would be on the radio from April 2010 to at least June 2011. She could working on new material in the meantime and have brand new music ready by the end of 2011 and be ready to do it again in 2012.
Jive and Ciara failed to promote properly and thus this project was just a waste of time!
Nice track
She can release whatever she wants, it still won’t help. She has lost fans point blank. Just because she puts out an “”ok” does not mean all her lost fans will come running back. I got give her props for fighting to stay in the game. Even if she pick up a couple of more fans, she would have to release an exceptional next album to get half way back to where she was. I once was a fan, and now i’m not.
“ok song”
Just finished listening to Turn it Up. It is a Pop song for sure. For anyone liking pop music this is a good song. I love my R&B so thumbs down on this for me, sorry. Her vocals are just not that good. The beat was the best thing and Usher saved her life on this song.
read her twitter now it says 404 612 hand me the phone ill put it in for you…from her you can get it song…who knows what she gonna do but i love both of those songs…cant wait for videos.
I really wish all the pathetic ass licking stans would stop f****** bombarding this site. What is it with you guys? If you want to praise the hell outta CERROR, go to her fansite and comment there! CERROR’s career is over and has been over for a f****** while! Fantasy Ride only sold 192,000 in the US and a total of 300,000 worldwide! Basic Instinct has only sold 50,000 copies in the States and “In week two it registered the eighth biggest fall on the Billboard 200, dropping fifty places to number ninety-four” and has sold 60,000 worldwide! Those numbers are humiliating! She sold 3 million copies of “Goodies, and 1.5 million copies of “The Evolution worldwide…she has never been a major success! People wanna keep her around because she “can dance and has s** appeal” but it hasn’t been working. She’s 25 years old and hasn’t achieved the success that females in their early 20’s, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and Taylor Swift have… and they came into the music biz after her. No matter what, she will never succeed and this single is too weak to be a hit. Just because it is more pop, doesn’t mean it’s going to do good. It isn’t up to par with the pop/electronic sound that’s hot right now. I can’t wait until her dumbass is dropped.
BTW, that pic is so nasty.
@LOLA B**** STFU! U get yo ass off a Ciara post wtf! Us Fans can be on here if we want…. If yo dont like her y the f*** u on here? you f***** leave and go praise riri or keri or whoever u f***** like U GOT THE F***** NERVE. #PISSED OFF!
Ohh yea “Turn it Up” 4th Single and “You Can Get It” is the 5th she said it on Twitter!!!
Following ride,speechless,&gimme dat,the next singles should be turn it up,you can get it,& yeah I know
First I would like to say I knew this would be the next single all along simply because this is Ciata and Usher we’re talking about this move will defenitely help her I figure she would have more success over seas any way s with this album lets just b honest fans over seas seem to b more loyal to the artist anyway ppl here in the us BOOTLEG is all they know so album sales will always have an affect but this single will defenitely get her some award nominations I can already c it especially for best collaboration but do ya thing CICI let your hataz such as KERI Hilson and her repeately Gold albums make u stronger and better U a bad B**** and untouchable so no need to respond to negative bs just tell em to catch up on your 7 million albums sold as of today and 600,000 digital albums sold and then talk Keri could neva and believe me the first week sales is all it will be for her so keep being CUTE, CLASSY< AND STYLISH that will make em hate more cause aint seen too many can touch uon fashion.
And to LOLA get your facts straight how bout u go on wikipedia and search Ciara and read her bio u’ll c her success and just to bust your bubble her and riri started at the same time and the only reason y taylor swift keep gettin s*** is because of what kanye did to her and ppl feel so sorry and think she sooooooo inncocent and adorable they better wake up and smell the coffee she just like the rest sneaky and watch as soon as u find out somethin about her her albums will drop as well and GAGA who else to represent for the gays of course they down but in all realness she’s only ok she can only give good studio and live she cant touch CIARA
@LOLA
“If you want to praise the hell outta CERROR, go to her fansite and comment there! ”
“She’s 25 years old and hasn’t achieved the success that females in their early 20’s, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and Taylor Swift have… and they came into the music biz after her”
There must be a contradiction in there somewhere. I’m just sayin.
nasty girl i though that you were much more better then that .
It’s too little too late. I wish her best of luck though.
