Ciara is hot on the comeback trail with new single ‘I Bet’ and its housing album ‘Jackie’.
Produced by Harmony Samuels, ‘Bet’ is the first offering from the project, which follows 2013’s self-titled LP.
Prior to heading out to Australia, where she is currently on a promo tour, Super Ci attended the Fashion Los Angeles Awards and wilfully spilled on ‘Jackie’ and its first visual – which has already been shot.
Details below…
Via FWD:
What’s your new album, #JACKIE, like?
I named the album after my mom, because I see the world through her eyes now that I’m a mom. It’s my best body of work. I’m in the most clear place in my life, and that pours into the music. I kept it small and tight in terms of producers; I wanted it to sound consistent. I worked with Dr. Luke, Polow da Don, Harmony Samuels and a few other producers.You filmed a video in NYC on Friday…
It was for my first single on the album, “I Bet.” I did things I’ve always wanted to do in the video, style-wise and performance-wise. I had a vision!
We’re buzzed to see and hear what Ci has been cooking up.
‘Body Party’ established a solid foundation for the success of future releases, as such we’re hoping the climate blows in her favour.
For now, check out Harmony Samuels dishing on ‘Jackie’
This era will f****** SLAY! I am waiting for the haters you can say what you want, but you can’t say Cici’s music doesn’t SLAY lives!!! #JACKIE is COMING!!!!
Y’all legit say this everytime she drops a album and they always do bad. No more chances for cici in my book
Worry about the prostitute you stan for sis! We good over here
I love Ciara and but the hive member has a point yall do say this every era.
It doesn’t.
….how can she say it’s small and tight (pause….) when she named 3 producers and a “few others” (I would assume that’s at least 2 more)? Does she not know that many albums outside of urban music (and many of the best imo ie: janet w/jam & lewis or brandy w/darkchild) are made with only one producer?
It’s a shame that such a beautiful girl is equally such a flop. Body party was life doe.
Omg the video will be epic #SUPERMODEL #URFAVESCANTANDWONT
I Bet the song finds a nice home on the ‘bubbling under’ chart
SMH at everybody who actually wants Ciara to fail. It’s bad enough that y’all won’t support her music, but to hope & wish that she doesn’t succeed is quite sickening. Ciara has undeniable talent. Every producer she has worked with says the that she’s fire in the studio, & that they would work with her again. & just because her albums don’t sell as much as others, it doesn’t mean she needs to leave the game. The under-rated ALWAYS have the best music… which is why I bought her last album, & gonna buy Jackie.
#Ciara #2015 #Jackie #IBet
shut the fuccck up no one is wishing for her to fail she’s been failing for the last 8 years or have you been living under a rock and besides she deserves this dragging because her 2 lil stans never stay in their lane they come for every artist
What BeyRhiLiyah said…
Not it’s her own fans that don’t support her music. That’s her own fault. Moreover I’m sure the video will consist of handstands, twerking, Michael/Janet Jackson rips offs, and constipated facial expressions. With her crying a$$.
Lmao
She says the same bull s*** every album and always sees the same results. Her voice is awful and her material is cute for Ariana Grande, not a 30 year old. She shoulda named her album ‘BABY MAMA’
LOOOOOOL! Wow! like dam gurl.. you did not hold back on that READ
Coming from a BobbleHead Hudson stan? Kii she ain’t been relevant since Dreamgirls you may be SEATED!!!
That album title actually would’ve been hot imo…
SCREAMING!!! YOU READ THE DAYLIGHT OUTTA CIARA.
COULDN’T AGREE MORE THOUGH.
‘I Bet’ Jackie will have trouble going Plati
DEATH.it won’t even sell 200k
no lies
I can’t wait for this to flop. The dragging that shall commence will be EPIC, just like it was in 2013. Molly, FutureCiara, TurnUp4Cici and Cici da baddest better get ready…
‘I Bet’ the song hits tin copper before her thirsty fans find their remaining walls
Aaaaaaahahahahahaha!!!!!
#NORING
#NOCERTS
#NORELEVANCE
#NOVOCALS
No shade though… *sips tea*
Death!!! Drag ha… hahahahahahah
Stop it Cedric. LMAO!!!!!!
I Bet Future settles down with one of his baby mammas before this goes platinum
When was the last time she had a top 20 hit, not a top 10 hit, but a top 20 hit??? 😆
Body party was top 20
No. It peaked at #22. It was a Top 30 hit.
I BET Ziara’s delusional stans find inner peace and tranquility in their lives before the grammys invite her to perform on the main stage…
LMAO and here comes the PRESSED b****** steaming and seething at Ci’s successful 11 year career. Face it, b****** Ciara Princess Harris aint going nowhere. Worry about Matronlyonce and Riherp FADINGGGGG!!!!
you slipped up boo, or you’re displaying true Z-Squad pressedness and commenting under other peoples names
BEYONCÉ IS UGKY AND FAT
No producer will save her flopping ass. It’s only a matter of time before she says she’s going independent. LMAO
BUT RIHERP IS HAVING A OUTBREAK RIGHT NOW
This is 911,what’s your emergency?
RIHANNA HAS AIDDDZ
Lol. Ciara slays Beyonce on her worst day.
Lol Stop with the lies ….
She’s done. Bye Felicia, you untalented flop trash.
okay guys, I believe ZiZi is having a meltdown using everyones user names, please never associate your flop fave to my name please…
My #1 fan has arrived!!! Why am I not surprised kii. I knew the girls couldn’t resist coming in here with their STALE SHADE!!! Del b**** you’re pathetic kii
B**** swerve, lets not act like you’re not spilling your meltdown juice all over this post, Zi Zi is a flop and you shall deal
The Hive and UglyNavy Stays pressed over Ciara because she is real and actually stays true to the art of talent
LMFAO!!!! Why are you changing your name so many times? What’s wrong? njhgfdsdgdx 😆
No lies spotted!!!
No walls spotted, the Zsquad should chill and take their meds
But who is Ciara tho baby ???
I can’t wait for her reality show. That will the next logical move for flopping ass.
*her
RIH RIH BEEN TO CLINIC YET?
DEATH at the bi-polar Zi Zi stan getting dragggggged for filth
B**** you are so pathetic and miserable
far from it boo, I’m actually really enjoying the dragging of your fave 😀
Huh….Cici i just don’t know anymore…You say the same thing about every album…
Cici retire hun no one is here for it not even your so-called stans.
After Nickis lumpy ass
This album will sell less first week than Basic Instinct. 35K (unless she actually gets a decent sized hit, then 50K max).
How much will Llama FAD Rey sell?
Well, considering her last album almost did Cedric’s first week sales based on preorders alone and outsold it in a week…
Lana Del Queen’s debut album has outsold Ziara’s last two albums combined, please find your way to the exit..
Ciara’s 11 year career is greater than Lana Fad’s one era kii stay mad
And he was successful for what, 2 years?
We all know Lana’s next album, even if the Tumblr gays leave her fanbase, will do triple digits, unlike Cedric (57K).
No Lies…
I Bore is nowhere to be found on the charts. It’s award season yet Ciara is a no show at relevant award shows. There’s no hype around her upcoming era. No relevant TV, radio shows,magazine covers etc. Instead of promoting in her home market, she’s going down under(and it’s not like she’s international anyway) . I swear someone at Epic wants her to fail so bad and they’re doing a pretty good job. Ciara gurl just call it a day. You can be Beyonce’s backup dancer or be on RHOA, wait you don’t have a ring on your finger. Oops my bad.
A Rihanna stan has no place talking about rings when she is the industry cüm dumpster
@Jackie, did you n** in Rihanna’s mouth to know she’s a cüm dumpster?? Gurl hush. Not when Ciara let a deadbeat no future cüm inside her. Rather a successful cüm dumpster who has #13 number one singles, sold over 100 million records worldwide &
currently has a top 5 song on the hot 100. There are levels to this sh*t
More like Real Husbands of Hollywood.
lol @ a C-error stan calling Lana a fad.
Where’s UltraFLOP On the charts sissy?
where is ciara’s relevance, grammys, certifications and baby father? I’ll wait
Lana still getting pissed on by old men? Where’s Bey originality?
“ultraFLOP kii!!!1” stayed on the charts longer and outsold every Cedric album since 2008 + it’s more acclaimed than EVERY album in his discography. Poor C-error doing worse than an alternative rock act with literally no promo, little radio play, and no hits.
Pissed on? girl you got some creepy state of mind, lana is doing just fine only three years in the game, with critical acclaim and the sales adequate to her star power, as for the queen bey, I need not defend her, half of the world seems to disagree with you
Like this f** does realize that Lana’s current boyfriend is richer, more attractive, more relevant than (No) Future in 2015, right?
Exactly! who is her current bf? I need deets on him
Francesco Carrozzini, fashion photographer.
He’s very attractive. His mom is the editor in chief of Vogue Italia and he shoots for multiple magazines/brands. He’s kind-of a d***** though so a lot of Lana fans don’t like him.
Anita Baker, D’Angelo, Bob Marley, Patti LaBalle didn’t have blockbuster commercial success yet they are legend’s. Sale’s and chart positions are so far up head, you fail to know having a diamond album or huge number single doesn’t equate talent/quality. What happened to enjoying music without checking to see latest Billboard article? Most of the song’s/album’s on the top ten are trash. Stop validating chart success as means of quality.
Lol are you comparing Ciara’s nursery rhymes to their music? Really? ====>
I would agree with you if you didn’t compare Cedric to D’Angelo.
Ciara’s fanbase spends more time on twitter, tumblr and blogs defending her “honor” than they do purchasing her music. Ciara is played. She should open a dance school or try to model professionally because she’s dead musically.
she ain’t saying much now is she? hmmm…. I knew I Bet was a poor first single choice. this video better be truly good and not some Never Ever Pt 2 b*******.
Watch this turn into a “buzz single”
@music stan. Gurl bye. Saying most of the song’s /album’s on the top ten are trash is subjective. Just because your faves are not popping sales wise doesn’t mean you have to trash others musical taste. I don’t need Metacritic to tell me which album is of good quality based on its score. At the end of the day, artists are in this business to make money. Quality music /critical acclaim is not gonna pay your bills at the end of the month honey. I’d rather have commercial success than critical success, thank you very much.
“Bet” how many mainstream “indie”/alternative acts releasing this year will outsell generic R&B/BET fodder Jackie’s first week? List here! I’ll start:
•Florence + the Machine (this is a guarantee)
•Lana Del Rey (also guaranteed)
• maybe Sufjan Stevens
It’s really sad to see Cedric Hamilton still in the new artist phase in a career that lasted over 10+ years and his fans know it because they literally BEG for other big artists to work with it. Hopefully he’ll pull it through with this album because it’s been trying literally since 2008. All the best!

P.s I can’t wait for Mila J’s album but she needs to leave Motown if she is really serious this time.
http://youtu.be/OLbUXZfciFg
@tinashe ummm whos Cedric Hamilton?? D-E-A-D LMAAAAAOOOO
I don’t see it for her. She might s well join love and hip hop. She, her music and image does not appeal and without a Fan base for tours and radio appeal, as well as identifiable image, she is not gonna slay in this very very difficult ( black women ) music industry,
Gurlllll, not a Rita Stan.
Rita Ora Fan ….. Really girl REALLY?? You have no room to talk so just leave.
How was Rita Ora’s 90 second cameo on Fifty shades of Grey? Is that enough to win her the so called Oscar?
@Linda you got it all wrong. This is why the world is such a f***** up place. Ya’ll chasing money /chart success instead of creating real music that will be enjoyable for generations to come. Bob Marley/Anita Baker’s music is still enjoyable to this day and I can relate to what they were saying in their music.
@Michelle Salvador your opinion sweetheart
@Rosie what’s wrong with the Ciara /D’Angelo comparison
Im rooting for her.
LMAOOOOO not the ZZ-SQUAD having a TRL moment bc their fav is a has been and a serial flop legend. Anyway, Cici should drop her turned off microphone and stop playing like he’s actually going to promote. I Bet this album will flop like the other ones for the last 8 years. I Bet Ciara has a better chance of long dicking another guy down the aisle before he sees a platinum plaque. I Bet that Jackie stan will be in my reply box quicker than Ciara’s existence to the World became unknown. I Bet that Ciara will be the first male artist dropped from Epic this year. I Bet her team is airbrushing her Adam’s apple off for her next flop magazine cover. I Bet that Ciara wishes he wasn’t the fourth baby Mama. No shade.
I bet Mariah is still a COW you pressed ass B****
I bet Mariah will be lose weight before your favorite male artist Ciara finds top 40 on the Billboard HOT 100. I bet no matter how fat Mariah gets, they don’t question if she’s a woman, can we say the same about your ATL verse bottom fav?? Didn’t think so… #CareyOn
not feeling the song! Don’t attempt to write a empowerment anthem about your ex, and then turn around and say you still want them at the end… Like gurl have some gotdamn pride. The Evolution was her best album… until she can produce a body of work like that, then she won’t be able to pick up where her career left off.
Your grammar is atrocious
sweetheart i’m not the one! Stop using the same tired tactics you’ve been using for years on this blog. You jump in someones reply box over the smallest thing so you can establish a presence on this blog and keep yourself at the ‘highest commentator’ status, because honestly its all you have to cling to. Thanks for choosing me today, so I could give you a good old fashioned READ! I don’t play your games, next time @ me with something substantial, and I might grace you with a reply.
@Music stan. At the end of the day. Ciara is a FLOP and you will DEAL. #dismissed
And you are PRESSED
If only you dedicated this much energy replying to every one here to I Bore (don’t buy me). Things that make you go mmmh.
How can YOU call anyone presser when you’re the reason that Cici is getting DRAGGED? You’re the pressed bottom that goes around clicking on articles calling Rihanna a thot, shading Del Bey blog, calling Mariah fat, Beyoncé a prostitute, and etc. IT’S YOUR FAULT. You reply what you sow b****, now deal with the consequences of YOUR ACTIONS.
Poor Cici. I won’t even drag the poor thang. It’s a walking pity.
FLOPACKIE is on the way p.s. why did he have to drag his mother into his flop career
TGJ post Tinashe’s “2 On” performance on Australia’s Sunrise Central. I’m done with the “2 On” performances although they give me life! but why not, Australia is just gravitating to the song which is doing well there.
http://bcove.me/9bi0rfy9
yawn ! do she have any more songs? damn im tire of her and that song! she’s been clinging to that for a whole year #ONEhitwonder
The same one hit wonder, that you constantly can’t stop talking about. Lol carry on.
that same one hit that couldn’t even push her album to do 30k lmooo her album still hasn’t sold 30k
Lmao
LMFAO!! Why Is she still performing that song.. It has come and gone just like her career. Nobody is checking for her. When will you and the rest of Team TiFLOPshe will realize that.
NJDYBFKSUH, I could have sworn she released other singles after that… wait, but she couldnt even get those to chart! LMFAOOOOO
Ciara deserves all the dragging she’s getting. Her stans are the cause of it. Constantly trying it with artists whose flop material arr6more relevant than her.
C-Squad LOVES to throw rocks and hide their hands. They love to drag other artists, but when they favor is returned, they cry and play victim. New flash: Ciara is a FLOP and will remain a FLOP. Point. Blank and the PERIOD!!!
After the underwhelming response to I Bet, I can’t believe Ciara is moving ahead with a video for the song. Maybe she needs to cast a wider net in terms of songwriters, b/c she needs fresher, catchier, and more current songs if she’s going to keep and improve on the modest resurgence she saw with her last album.
nnn @ everyone dragging #Jaquan because of that one stan.
y’all stay gassing Ciara up about these albums that have yet to go triple New Year’s confetti. like…stop it.
lmaoooo at your name SLayshanti really? she hasn’t been relevant since 2004
Really? An Ashanti stan? What a self drag!!
And you s*** for a man who wears a dress!! Goodbye!
*Stan
Excuse me? When was the last time Ashanti charted? Say what you want about Ciara, but she still manages to get hits and maintain relevancy. Ashanti is so last decade. Stop hating on Cici when your fav is beneath her.
And when the last time has your fav album gone platinum. Ciara is nothing but social media hype. No one os checking her for her. Not even her baby daddy. and how is she above Ashanti when ashanti has had far more success than Ciara ever will. Ciara had a number one single, the hottest song of 2013 and her album failed to follow suit. At least Ashanti albums follows the success of her singles. Remember, she the hugest debut selling female artist EVER, a record she still holds today.
Ashanti’s last certification was 2004, and her last hit was 2005 with a minor hit in 2008. Ciara’s was 2013. You tried. Ashanti has zero relevance in 2015 boo boo!!!!
Thought Ciara’s Goodies would undergo an Evolution & take me on a Fantasy Ride, but it was just a Basic Instinct.
and we thought ashanti was going to have more than a 3 year career lmaoooo she blew up so fast and her career ended just as fast I guess she couldnt clinge to jarule forever
Yet she has more #1 albums than Rihanna. The hottest thing in the industry right now and only has ONE #1 album. Like, why are you here!?
lmaoooo bye and not when youre fave only lasted for 2 years and for those two years she used to get dragged lmaoooo
And they dragged right to them stores and still bought her albums… NOW HOLD THAT DOWN!
So many haters in this post it’s sad. Ciara makes her haters her motivators and she will rise like a Phoenix. We all know Beyonce cheated and Rihanna f***** her way to the top. Ciara remained true to herself. I can’t wait for Jackie to drop.
YAWN
Beyoncé worked her ass off to get to where’s she’s at. Ciara has made a song with just about all her boyfriends and they left her TRASH ass!!
Where’s Ashanti? Her last minor hit was 2008 with The Way I Love You. She hasn’t charted since!!!!
Ashanti paved the way for your fave. Respect the Queen of Hip Hop & R&B. And Bow down! Your fav will never perform on a stage next to legends. With her whispering ass!
And your nasal voice fave ain’t doing s*** lol ….. she did not pave the way for anyone and no one lists her as an inspiration. Ashanti was a quick fad, an it girl, someone to pass the time
Until Beyonc came along and ruined her career lol…..
Ashanti Can and will sing circles all around Ciara… Remember, at one point, Ashanti was. Beyoncés biggest rival. Her downfall led to the fall or murder inc. not Beyoncé. And I love Beyoncé just as much as I love Ashanti. Those are my two fav. Ciara, is TRASH! She can dance, but that’s all I can give her. She can’t sing to save her life. And her live acoustic performance of I BET was edited to the Gods. She can’t sing live! All the lip synching she does. GIRL BYE!! Tell her to try that again!
She says the same thing, gets the same results but whatever, I’ll be buying.
yall be standing up for yall favs like yall get paid to do so.
and since yall don’t, and most of all, right now, at this moment are working a dead end job (flopping ya damn selves), don’t even have a job, school dropouts,and/or doing what you have to do to get to a better place or position, hair is uneven, and/or sitting somewhere “unbothered and pretty” on a bus…
I say this to say…yall worried about the wrong s*** and yall the reason why the art of music is not appreciated. Support the girl or don’t support the girl. no need to compare charting. if so, congratulations b**** you’re bored.
Appreciate the music.
I agree best comment left all year
Lol
LMFAOOOOOO…..

138+ seething bottoms commenting, Yet yall SWEAR she is irrelevant. But she keeps you talking.

The negativity in here is LIFE!

Yaaaaas gurl Ciara is slaying so hard, 138 +comments left on her post. What kind of slayage??? Like literally, when will our faves.
yaS 150+ comments on a blog when will out faves?¿
Regardless if it flops or not, can we just support the music if we truly like it? I find it hard that people honestly don’t like Ciara. I do understand that her fans can make you not like her.. Same with Rihanna, I love her songs but her fans make it hard for anyone to actually like her. Stop trying to make women compete against each other. Body Party was a great start for Ci to get back in the limelight, she got pregnant and it went to waste but she’s back and she’s HUNGRY this era. She even said her hustling is on 1hunnid because she has a child now. Her inner fierce will come out and hopefully put her where she belongs in the industry. #SupportGoodMusic
Honestly her promotion and a&rs suck and Clara was actually a gopd cd in my opinion just wrong single choices…everyone expects Nicki to helps when she flops herself should have released DUI or read my lips smh
Man, I wish struggling Rihanna and struggling #4 hit single would be like Ciara’s blazing career and chart climbing, peaking at #96 hit song I Bet. When will my fave? Lol
.
That hooker said that she might as well name her album Baby Mama. Lol
Screaminggggg!!!
I’m here for Ciara slaying us bald this era. I Bet is slaying the Billboard Bubbling Under charts(better known as nowhere to found), another record for CiCi. I predict 1st week sales of 1+million for Jackie. Scalp us bald Ciara.
Screaaaaaaaaamsssssssss at Annelise gathering LB so effortlessly. Yasss lawd, I live *in my Whitney Houston voice*
Slay hive is back
I guess she finally took the photographers advice and hid her Adams apple.
I’m trying so hard with Ciara. I love love LOVE her, and I’m really trying so hard not to give up on her but lately, she’s making it so easy. I still choose her over Rianna and Beyonc but at this point, I’m so close to washing my hands with all 3… I’ve been riding with Ci HARD since “Goodies” the single first premiered. I buy all albums and singles, but I really haven’t felt her or taken her seriously since “Ride” and before then, since “Promise”.. It’s like she has so many opportunities yet, settles for 2nd and 3rd best, and seems ok with mediocrity, she likes being the b*** of jokes and being laughed at. She can block and tune it out, but that’s not stopping it from happening. She STILL has to prove herself. In my opinion, she only gives 100% to her dancing and vocals, her songs, including “I Bet” seems to only get more basic and it’s confusing. I want her to dominate. I want her to silence all haters, but ……She just won’t for some reason lol
