New Song: Ciara – ‘Overdose (Dave Luxe Remix)’

Planning a wedding and raising her first son with fiancee Future may be keeping Ciara busy, but that hasn’t stopped the vocalist from releasing brand new music…well, kinda.

Oft hailed as one of the singer’s better Pop numbers, this month welcomed the release of a brand new version of ‘Overdose’, produced by bop-building maestro Dave Luxe.

Love the original? Then you’ll be sure to love this, bidding adieu to its urgency and replacing with it a sound that speaks to the star’s Pop, R&B and Hip Hop roots, all while flirting with Electro.

Vibe out to new Cici below…

Sweet, right?

We don’t know about you, but this remix has us more eager than ever for the star of Ciara‘s new era, and to see how motherhood and marriage influences the direction of her new sound.

After all, while commercial success has evaded her since 2007, the fact remains that each and every Ciara LP documents her growth as an artist, with her last seeing her reclaim her status as R&B’s favourite girl next door, with an Urban Contemporary sound and replicable choreography.

However, as great as that was last year, it’s clear that the singer remains in the shadows of Rihanna.

Pretty hilarious when one considers their “varying” talent levels.

It’s with this in mind that we hope the next chapter of Ciara‘s career focuses on force feeding her unique performance style to the masses with an R&B sound and choreography that’ll put many a Basic Betty to shame.

For, while ‘Confessions’-sized albums would of course be a great look, one needn’t look any further than Jennifer Lopez and Madonna to see why an commercially unsuccessful album doesn’t always have to amount to a commercially unsuccessful era.

Put simply, Cici is just one ‘On the Verge’ deal and a few award show bookings to becoming the world renown superstar she’s destined to become once she pulls from a wider reference pool (on a visual tip), and serves up cuts akin to ‘Body Party’, Janet‘s ‘That’s the Way Love Goes’ and the jam above!

    I hear future has another girl pregnant smh

  4. Beysus July 30, 2014

    She needs to do some sort of electro-R&B album next time. I loved Body Party but didn’t care for the whole album. It got mixed reviews anyway. We need a strong, solid album like Beyonces.

    • Girl Bye July 30, 2014

      So your asking for a porno album from Ciara? Correct

    • Rih Rox July 30, 2014

      Strong, solid? lol!!

  5. JJFan1814 July 30, 2014

    In the shadows of rihanna? You couldn’t mention beyonce? Ci and Bey are performers, Rih isn’t. So wouldn’t that be a more fare comparison? Not that Ci poses a threat to Rih, because she’s not. ‘Ciara’ was a step in the right direction after all these years, she got it right. She should hold off this album because Sam, she’s going to continue to lurk in Rihs shadow.

  6. CATFISH CAREY July 30, 2014

    BASIC BIATCHH!!

    • Yonce on her knees July 30, 2014

      Don’t bring rihanna into this.

  7. Molly July 30, 2014

    Blah next.

    • Rihannanavy July 31, 2014

      You’re such a fickle h**. You were the biggest Ciara fan, now you supporting someone who’s so basic.

  8. Adam July 30, 2014

    Am I the Only one that thinks Rihanna is overrated??! I mean I really feel like Ciara should stand where Rih is right now. At least she has ONE talent, which is dancing. I can’t think of anything talented about Rihanna. She’s good at ABSOLUTELY Nothing, besides picking out poptart basic generique “#1” songs that don’t even help her albums get past 3M in the U.S :(. No hate tho, I just think it’s unfair. Rih must stand as the most overrated artist in history.

    • Rih Rox July 30, 2014

      Actually her albums have crossed over 3 mill
      Expect for the first two.

  9. #TeamTinashe Stan (BUY “2 On” NOW) July 30, 2014

    I can’t wait for the Queen, Tinashe’s highly anticipated debut album “Aquarius” in September!!!

    • BanjeeRiri July 30, 2014

      Would you shut your f****** mouth? NOBODY gives a damn about Tinashe. The only reason she got to number 25 is because of streams. She will ALWAYS be Ciara’s lessor. ALWAYS.

    • Hahaha July 30, 2014

      That b**** had to get Drake help her out on a remix, cause no one gives a f*** about her ass.

    • Yonce on her knees July 30, 2014

      Girl! yes im with you on this

  10. NoFlexZonin July 30, 2014

    Shouts to David and Sam on the real. The other blogs talking bout breakup gossip and they keep it about the music. Love the f*** outta yall for holding down for Ci like yall do.

  11. HistoRih July 30, 2014

    Tinashe’s album is gonna flop so hard.

    • BeyBeyKing July 30, 2014

      You know this.

    • Ariana’sGrand July 30, 2014

      Loool.

    • OhHiGwen July 30, 2014

      The New Classic tease.

      • BadGyalRita July 30, 2014

        The kiis kiis will be authentic.

    • Ellie’sGoldting July 30, 2014

      The floppage will be too real.

    • Yonce on her knees July 30, 2014

      Just like rihanna’s walls and yonce’s knees?

  12. Rosie July 30, 2014

    What’s up with all these OBVIOUS trolls that have screennames with AllTheWordsLikeThis along with whoever they’re supposed to be stanning for’s name? Dead at a Rita Ora stan calling anyone’s album a flop.

  13. RICHIE_RICH July 30, 2014

    What Molly not riding with CiCi?

    • Metzo July 30, 2014

      Is that shocking? LOL.

  14. Rihboy July 30, 2014

    This song is old. Nice try though.

  15. QueenofRap July 30, 2014

    ThatGrapeJuice stay trying to make this girl relevant, even with the cheap remixed beat and extra autotune on this remix, this song was never going to be a hit. The original is better, but still not a hit. Waiting for the “Real”(Goodies) Ciara to please stand up.

  16. the voice July 30, 2014

    I still cant believe she chose IM OUT ( which sounds 2006) over OVERDOSE?????

    She didnt do a video or any TV promos for Overdose which is why it do well
    No intl TV performances or festivals or anything. No choreo routine or nothng???

    The first OVERDOSE version is better.

    Can someone tell her the best way to promote your album is a pre ablum tour….

    SEE MRS Carter.

    UR the best performer of ur generation DO A TOUR!!!!!!!!!

    A REAL tou with dancers and a band and costume changes etc….

  17. Rih Rox July 30, 2014

    Be careful Ciara,the thief is in desperate need for a new “inspiration”

    :love the hair,and the colours.

  18. stupid July 31, 2014

    stop trying girl your time is up…
