Ciara Explains ‘Fun’ New Album

Published: Friday 30th Mar 2012 by David

With a new album and movie on the way, many are hoping 2012 is nothing short of ‘Epic’ for Ciara.

Starring in Adam Sandler‘s ‘That’s My Boy‘ this summer, her fifth LP is set to follow shortly- heavily anticipated by her fans and naysayers alike.

So in support of the new campaign, she spoke on its premise this week, branding it ‘fun’.

Her thoughts below…

As always, That Grape Juice is eager to see how well Ciara will do this time.

Because as far as we’re concerned, she, above any other Pop potential, has what it takes to ‘snatch Rihanna’s wig’, on a commercial and popularity front.

Yes, though she has a long way to go before matching Fenty’s chart feats, she’s one perfect era away from the glory she stays missing out on.

Here’s hoping LA Reid has a few tricks up his sleeve.

Your thoughts?

  2. KAT DELUNA FAN March 30, 2012

    How do you want her snatch Goat wig? she cant because goat is p*** star with manipulative charts strategies,lame hair change gimmick and fake controversies about her private life.

    Perry already mimicked the manipulative strategies and nicki the hair changes,Ciara s way too talented,respectable of a “veteran” to fall that LOWwww 😯

    Ciara? B****. You betta give it to em Goodies style ..stop trying to be cute and get back that urban s*** ..Im rooting

  6. Teyah March 30, 2012

    The album will flop. Ciara is a singles artist! Just because she’s with LA Reid now that don’t mean s***! JLo’s Love? album flopped and so will this! But its possible she could have hit singles because its no surprise she’s making dance music like everybody else

  7. beyonce lover March 30, 2012

    ciara need to take that 2 yr old lacrfront off she is so boring .this new album is about to flop bigtime.she act so fake sounding like a white woman.that cannot be her real speaking voice.

    • zurline July 16, 2012

      h** take yhur fake ass beyonce wanna be ass on somewhere

  8. beyonce lover March 30, 2012

    the only way this will sell is if she changes labels like join kanye or jay z then she might rack up some bucks rock nation is making real bread.

  9. YOU DA FLOP March 30, 2012

    B**** PLEAZ !!!

  10. Teyah March 30, 2012

    Ciara is irrelevant now! The new generation don’t know her ass! She should probably leak one of her s** tapes if she wants to get noticed again lol.

    • zurline July 16, 2012

      ion see s*** funny but u

  11. KAT DELUNA FAN March 30, 2012

    @BEYONCE LOVER
    Join who? are you serious? sign with the illuminatis? she will be better being signed to Ashanti label than going there

  12. Teacher March 30, 2012

    @BeyonceLover
    I was thinkin the same thing about her voice…she needa stop…she’s always had a soft voice but she was doin the most in that interview

  13. Teyah March 30, 2012

    Why is C-Error acting like That’s My Boy is her movie? She’s not even credited as a main character LOL! The movie’s promotional poster doesn’t even mention her name LOL!

  14. therealest March 30, 2012

    really ‘LOL’, really? She isnt Whitney but the girl can sing.

    I definitely think ‘fun’ is the way to go…people want escapism.

    Pop but an urban edge will be successful. She just needs several strong singles and expensive videos. The project needs to be big and successful and she would STRONGLY benefit from jumping on a few peoples mixtapes. Maybe some new up and coming people. Establish her as fresh and in demand again.

    Cici and nicki minaj would be hot – a really grimy hip hop album track.

    Artists I think she needs to collab with;

    Chris Brown – maybe snag a duo on ‘fortune?’ *dreaming*

  15. NIVEA March 30, 2012

    before rihanna, beyonce the solo star and etc….we all were bumping to my goodies!! mama just lost herself!!! didnt L.A. REID give her another chance???

  16. therealest March 30, 2012

    & whoever said they think she should leak a s** tape—-yeah i think she shud. In an island hut tho—surrounded by palm trees. Work <3

  17. Teyah March 30, 2012

    @NIVEA

    Beyonce came out as a solo star before Ciara arrived! Beyonce – 2002 and Ciara – 2004

  18. SMH@UNDERCOVERCIARAFANS March 30, 2012

    Ciara has a lot of power for y’all to get so mad and angry over a 2 min. clip LMFAO “NO ONE WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ALL THAT POWER”

  19. Tbozfan10 March 30, 2012

    Nothing against Ciara, but she won’t be snatching anybodys wig. That’s for damn sure! It’s a miracle If she ever gets this new record released after the beyond dreadful sales of her last 2 records. Add both her last CDs together and they sold like 200,000 TOGETHER. What label is actually planning on backing her?! Do they have a death-wish to their record company or something lol

    • mynailzstaydone September 10, 2012

      Any label spend money on this b**** truly have problems they will not recoup their money or reputation when ciara takes to twitter and facebook to blame for poor sales.

  20. YOOSONDALOOSE March 30, 2012

    Love Cici!

  21. jill March 30, 2012

    @NIVEA

    Huh? What are you talking about Beyonce was solo way before Ciara. Beyonce been in this business for 16 years. Rihanna came after ciara But she’s doing great!!! C-error will not make it this is her last shot. And I don’t see it for her.

  22. 12345 March 30, 2012

    she always says the same thing her fans will love the energy and it will be fun

    and yes she talks much higher and valley ish now.

    • mynailzstaydone September 10, 2012

  23. latifa March 30, 2012

  24. diarasopretty March 30, 2012

    Maybe this @lol b**** should learn how to use proper English next time. Since you want to be the first to comment with an unneeded comment. S***

  25. diarasopretty March 30, 2012

    @teyah h** j lo’s Love? Album is under island jam and second, just because it didn’t do well in the u.s doesn’t mean anything. It still sold over 1 million copies. Next time gather your info h**. Get yo hating ass on

    • mynailzstaydone September 10, 2012

      Oh really it’s been doing so well, thats why she cannot afford a decent weave and a change of costume this ho been wearing the same clothes to every no name tour she can get herself on.

  26. An0thrnight272 March 30, 2012

    I cannot wait for a new single and album. She’s sooo much more talented then Rihanna and all those other fake pop tarts, give it to us Ciara!

  27. diarasopretty March 30, 2012

  33. Teacher March 30, 2012

    Really? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLL 😀

  34. Anne March 30, 2012

    Many people are beginning to realize that Ciara is a WEAK vocalist. She will have to come real hard with some of that crap that is radio friendly right now because she is lacking in vocal AND fanbase depth. The latter being the major difference between her and Rihanna. On top of that, I doubt that she will have the type of backing that she needs to really muster some decent sales.

    • mynailzstaydone September 10, 2012

      thats the thing no label will seriously put money into ciara, why not because she is a bad person but because she cannot sing and that a main fuction of a recording artist you cannot fill a weak vocalist’s album with high tempo tracks and heavy basslines to hide it any more this chick is pushing 30. She has no real fanbase. Labels care about profit above all. Ciara has also proven to be a loose cannon firing Jazze Pha and cussing a record label when it waas truly her own fault her record did not sell. Who would want to back someone like that. LA Reid better put his time and effort in someone who can become global.

  35. Anne March 30, 2012

    Some of you fans are talking like you’ve heard some snippets or something. How do you know she is going to come correct? It will be very difficult for her to comeback from the poor first week and total sales of her last album. Her fanbase obviously has dwindled down to near extinction yet some of you are still delusional enough to assume she will slay. Anything could happen so she might stage a comeback but to have high expectations at this point is just silly based on the performance of her last couple of albums. Its okay to hope she will succeed but to make any assumptions at this point is ridiculous.

  36. GiftedSince92 March 30, 2012

    @Anne

    And how do you know that she will not have a huge comeback? Don’t start with the “It will be very difficult for her to comeback from the poor first week and total sales of her last album.” YEAH DUH that was because of the last album but that doesn’t mean she will not have a comeback. Ciara has all the ASPECTS of an artist and entertainer. It has been a frustrating and strain two years at this point of her career and to see Ciara stand up and take her own direction with her carrer I comend her for that because it shows that she’s wants to be known more than just an artist. #C-SQUAD and the rest of the fellow members are already aware of how this album is going to go based on the looks of it from the press saying that everything is on the table and Ciara is bringing her A game. Look on the brighter side she has a NEW team, NEW label, NEW direction in her career which this album by good observation will put her back on the map. She has a place in this industry as much as these other artists. #C-SQUAD

  37. commanderofthedancefloor March 30, 2012

    ciara better not try doing dance/pop music! she needs that crunk/r&b style! its ok for pop but dont over due it! it would be good to hear an album with some of her original style and something new!

  38. LTM March 31, 2012

    Rihanna’s wig wont be snatchedby anyone. Its just not happening. I am still #TeamCiara and #CSQUAD, but Ciara will never be on Rihanna’s album. at the MOST, her album could go platinum in the U.S. But thats reaching. Two big hits in a row could do it like it worked for LMAO. Their album only did 1.3million ww, but for Ciara that would be incredible.

    @TeYah
    why so pressed?

  39. LTM March 31, 2012

    before Ciara snatches anyones wig she needs to focus on getting her albums certified. Her last 2 albums didnt even go gold. A gold album for her now would be making good progress

  40. Sleazy March 31, 2012

    @Tboz plsssssss I love nicki But she is a sell out (her urban singles didn’t sell) now she doing Dance pop how disappointing She sings 60% on the new album Which is an amazing album But she is just now the black kesha) and get you dumb facts straight h** fantasy ride 300k #Fact receipts b****! I’m not sure about Basic instinct But yeah

  41. James227 March 31, 2012

    Not only does Ciara have a weak voice, that hair got to f***** go ASAP

    • zurline July 16, 2012

      b**** ion appreciate u tawkin bout ciara h** i am from the A TOWN AND WHERE WE COME FROM WHOEVER TAWKIN BOUT CIARA GOTTA DEAL WITH US THAT OUR PRINCESS AND I MEET HER B4 H** GET REAL FAKE ASS WANNABE

  42. Rob March 31, 2012

    Ciara’s career been laid to rest. You know they ain’t about to spend money on her promo. Nobody buys her music. She should leak some n*** pics or something since she wants to be a Kardashian anyway

  43. Rob March 31, 2012

    Hey @giftedsince92 did you even read Anne’s post? She clearly said anything is possible. She said its possible for Ciara to come back, just not very likely. You don’t even need to work in the music industry to know that. It’s basic knowledge that people who have an album that sells under 200,000 and then release ANOTHER one that sells 40,000 almost NEVER can come back. It’s possible but incredibly unlikely.

    And at @sleazy I don’t like the second part of nickis new album either. But at the end of the day whether she’s a sellout or not doesn’t change the fact that the chances of Ciara making a comeback are slim to none. If she does more power to her but almost nobody comes back from sales like that. Maybe if it was one flop album but when thE second does WAAY worse… It’s not rocket science.

  44. lola March 31, 2012

    CERROR just needs to give it up! She’s one of the many untalented artists that I love to not hear from! It feels good not to hear music from CERROR, Skeri Flopson, Ashitty, and Assie and it’s great that they aren’t getting much publicity for their projects! She tries so hard to be s*** and hollywood when she’s wack! She looks like a damn drag queen and that hair is dreadful! Black and bright blonde never go. I mean… how the hell you going to sell only 192,000 of Fantasy Ride and 50,000 of Basic Instinct???!!! That’s so hilarious!

    • zurline July 16, 2012

      B**** GET REAL LAY OFF CIARA H**

  45. Ciara Stan 21 March 31, 2012

    YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! CIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CIARA WORLD DOMINATION TAKEOVER 2012

    • mynailzstaydone September 10, 2012

      Oh really it september 2012 where her album at, what another push back from the ugly-toed one girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl pleaze

  46. Ocean March 31, 2012

    WTF ARE Y’ALL EVEN COMPLAINING WHEN SHE GOT MORE MONEY THE YOU WILL EVER HAVE AND STOP COMPARING HER TO OTHER FEMALES SHE IS SO DIFFERENT FROM BEYONCE AND RIHANNA SO STOP HATING ON WHAT YOU CAN’T ME DAMN!!!!!!!!!

  47. christine March 31, 2012

    I’m actually wanting to see CiCi do well. I don’t think that her career is over or that she should throw in the towel. There is a market for her sound. All it takes is 1 good hit and things could easily turn around for her. I’m SURE that there are numerous artist out there that wish they had CiCi’s current fan base, exposure, history of prior popular singles….ect. She has talent and if LA Reid can help to promote her the right way and kind of repackage her brand then i’m all for it. Rhi and Bey are cool but we need the variety not just one or two of us representing in the industry.

    There is room for everybody Monica, Brandy, Keisha Cole, Ashanti, Kerri Hilson AND Ciara. Why should we as fans/ listeners limit ourselves to the most popular as if other artist don’t have anything to contribute musically. (Let’s be more supportive and not wish for anyone’s downfall or failed come back .)
    All Ciara needs is better material & promotion so I wish Ciara the best.

  48. christine March 31, 2012

    BTW I understand the need to switch up hair styles and find signature looks but I am NOT feeling this hairstyle. For some reason it always looks extra dry like hay or something and I’ve seen CiCi look a lot better than this so…….
    She just needs better material, promotion & a new stylist. (But I still wish her the best)

    • zurline July 16, 2012

    Shut the f*** up. You know your ass is gonna be jammin’ to it all summer long.

  50. bLaine kelley April 1, 2012

    @beyonce lover

    it really makes me sad that you would say because Ciara is Articulate, Well-spoken, and uses proper grammer that she is sounding like a WHITE WOMAN.
    do you understand how racist and ANTI-BLACK that is?!?!
    by saying such things you are indicating that Black People, by Nature, cannot be articulate, well spoken, etc and that ONLY WHITE People are such things.
    and that is B*******!

    by saying such ignorant things you’re only perpetuating Negative stereotypes about the Black Community and putting us down!
    Please educate yourself and EXPAND your mind!

  51. carlos April 4, 2012

    Its ridiculous how much hatred my cici recieves when she is doing her thang!! and yes she can sing she has a beautiful voice and SUPER TALENTED!! i cant wait to hear music from her bc her music is much better than all the bull that is out right now! CIARA will always be a talented artists no matter what her sells have been. ALL OF HER FOUR ALBUMS HAVE BEEN AWESOME!!! CIARA DONT PAY ATTENTION TO ALL THESE HATERZ! KEEP DOING U AND U WILL PREVAIL! as for my concern I WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT YOU NO MATTER WHAT A CICI FAN FOR LIFE LOVE YOU AND YES WAITING FOR ALBUM 5!! 😉

  52. Csquad July 29, 2012

    Rihanna has no number 1 album funny cause ciara goodies sat at number 1 longer than sos lol talk that talk…but its a one woman army riri stans need to get the b**** a #1 album cause single aint shyt without that #1 album plus ciara best week sales will out do any of riri 1st week sales…goodluck bucking a #1 album b****…

    • mynailzstaydone September 10, 2012

      b**** shut the f** up ho when dis transwomen/intersexwoman finally get brave and rep the transgender community , then maybe the ‘no high note hitting, only whispers and talk fast, never changing key, weak head voice, wonky ass bottom lip, repeat the exact same moves her dance teacher (Jamacia Kraft) taught her, change one line in a verse and call herself a co-writer,fake valley girl accent, long toes,’will get some love C-error will have another flop album and she again will take to facebook and cry about the producers and music execs ruin when it quite simple heavy basslines to dreon out a flat voice cannot fool no one no more and and how it is next to impossible to write for someone who cannot sing. LA Reid just better get his lawyer to sue for deflamation of character as Ciara next album will flop again and she will blame him rather than her lack of talent and singing ability.
