For many, the number 7 signifies perfection; and for R&B siren Ciara it’s the route she’s she’s taking for her next studio album.
All eyes are on the stage blazer’s upcoming project for a number of reasons.
One of the main being that it’ll serve as her first offering after departing Epic Records earlier this year.
There’s no word yet on which label the project will arrive on, but CiCi is beginning to spill on the set. Albeit slowly.
See what we mean…
Speaking to ABC Radio while promoting her Billboard Music Awards hosting duties, the 30-year-old said of her new LP:
“I’m taking my time with it, I’m super, super excited about this project. You know, I really want to make sure that its truly my best yet, and also I want to take my time. I won’t say where I’m at with it but I’m super happy with how it’s going.”
When pushed for details pertaining to the sound of the songs she’s cooking up, newly engaged CiCi said:
“Lots of good songs, that’s all I’m going to tell you,” she says. “I ain’t gonna tell you too much right now.”
As for when the album will arrive, she concluded:
“You know darling, you’ll have to wait and see”
***************
While Ms. Harris didn’t offer much, it is warming to know the album is progressing well.
It goes without saying that the ‘Jackie’ album was polarizing and that its accompanying campaign was (all sorts of) brief.
Fingers crossed her next swing of the bat proves more fruitful.
From a media standpoint, she hasn’t had this much goodwill in the longest. She’ll need to capitalise on it briskly and swiftly.

Don’t nobody want your album Ciara.
Ain’t no one got time for DT .kiiii
Ciara is a fighter! Believe it or not some of the beyhive including myself support you Ciara. Keep it up
Ciara always PERSEVERES no matter what.
When?!
I concur 100%
Can’t wait for HeHe to write to release an autobiography
I’ve got the perfect title!
“We’ll Get Them Next Time: A Life Story”
Bye Tyler!
Sometimes I read comments on here and can’t believe there are ppl in this world so damn funny. Pahahahaha this is wrong but so funny! Y’all must learn how to chill. Pahahaha
Who keeps investing money in this girl? She is the female Chris brown. Little vocals and people tire of the dancers. Girl bye. Real singers in 2016 only.
Not some dancer with water weak vocals with songs that mean nothing
It never seems to amaze me….
If there is anyone who can produce real music in 2016 I aint heard it yet but for sure she got a unique voice and nobody can dance like her. These days MF using Auto tunes and singing rapping all sounding alike. Everytime i turn on the radio im not hearing s*** diffrent so give her a chance maybe she will surprise us. Hopefully!
She couldn’t say much about anything because she doesn’t have a label. So at this point she must be finding this album HERSELF in hopes that she will find a label once it’s complete. Or she will go independent! All shade aside I always commended Ciara for her inner fighter and never stopping music just because her sales are not commercially successful! Now only if Ashanti would stop being a Instagram thirst trap/model and get her ass back out there!
This album will SLAY! Ciara has a story to tell and y’all are soooo pressed over her label situation. Look at the first f***** ass b**** who commented.?
Kiii BITXH.I TOLD YOU YOUR ASS WAS WORRIED AND SEETHING OVER ME.KIII!!!!
F** I will seethe over you when Formation cracks the hot 100. So you might as well dig your grave now because that will never happen kii.
Your seething sis ???
Jackie I believe you on that, but she need to leave that pop bs alone and stay true to R&B such as the sound she had with Body Party not DLWML.
Ciara is versatile and can do many styles. She shouldn’t just stick to R&B if she doesn’t want to.
Lmao, girl and what story is that?
I love Cici, God knows I do but idk. She keeps disappointing me. She know damn well Overdose should’ve been a single after Body Party. She’s a force on the stage but never tour like arenas and s***. For someone who highly looks up to MJ, Janet, and Aaliyah I would think she be slaying beside Bey and Riri on the charts and worldwide. I need her to be apart of the visual field and crank up some real HITS that’ll be consider classic and have everyone on their feet.
7th album? No shade her music cute or whatever but how does she keep getting album releases? Her albums can’t even go copper. But slay girl slay.
Good luck Queen
Lmao…why don’t she just make one tape of an interview and play it for all interviews. She says the same thing for every album she puts out. “this will be my best album”. she says it for every album and they don’t sell. In order for an album to do will she has to have…….FANS!!!!
The table has been CLEARED & my calander has been SET!
APRIL 22nd- B6
APRIL 23rd- LEMONADE (HBO)
APRIL 27th- FORMATION STADIUM TOUR
APRIL 28th- THE END OF R8
Yay!!
DEATH!! THAT FUXKING NAME ?????
🙂 !!!!
Don’t we go through this same rabbit hole everytime time, yet she flops every time. He Squad will swear up and down that this is it, but they won’t buy. What sad is that she pissed off the guy that gave her the only hit in how many years?
So which guy was this, because “I Bet” which was released LAST year (2015) was her 1st PLATINUM hit in like the past 6 years or so…
Does Ciara even have a c l i t ?
Are you excited for lemonade @Jackie ?
Cici is gunna slay lives bish
KIII their she goes again losing control of her troll accounts! SEETHING MUCH.SIS???
Death! I’m starting to think HailBeysus is behind the Sherry troll. From what I’ve seen, it will do anything for attention. Girl die.
Hell no!
Lmfaooo! Still trying to paint me as a troll??? Mess!!! Get a hold of yourself sis! Its only a urban music blog! No need to be doing the absolute most with your spilt personalities! ?????
You’re Annalise’s understudy lol
Im excited its gonna be a great year for music.. Rihs here.. Bey and Ci are coming
Death! Read ha RihSherry!
I dont understand these R&B B-C-D-F SIDE Acts From decade(s) ago STILL TRYING. Rkelly usher shakira jlo monica chris ciara janet mariah mandonna tamar alicia keys its like once u flop Once and then TWICE shouldnt that be enuff to make u give up and realize yur irrelavant and have no fans. Ill give kelly rowland a pass tho lol, im always interested even when i know shell flop its fun to watch the struggle.
Britney Spears, Ciara & more.. Stop with the “this next album will be my best yet” bs because it Won’t be.. just go in the studio and do what you do and put the shyt out, gosh!

Don’t slip up and forget to change your emails sis
For those of you neurotic Beyhive, Beyonce’s streak won’t last for long! She’ll be 40 in a few years and the same that happened to J.Lo, Janet, Mariah, and even Madonna when they hit 40, will happen to Bey.
The pests are worried about Ciara but has Formation charted yet? Lol
Y’all said the same when she turned 30. What y’all are failing (or better, denying) to realize is that Beyoncé gets better and bigger the older she gets. Her relevancy and her impact has never been as high before as it is now and that’s why she’s so different from the rest, including the names you mentioned. Only Beyoncé can sell out tours in minutes with no new album. Only Beyoncé can sell out a fashion line in minutes based off of her name alone. Only Beyoncé can cause racial raucous across the nation based off of a song that wasn’t released for sale. Selling millions of records doesn’t solely make you an icon or legend. Your talent and impact does and that’s Beyoncé is Queen. When will y’all learn.
That’s right, Cici. Keep it pushing. OAN, I’m not trying to be a Debbie Downer but in this interview she didn’t seem geeked about her upcoming wedding to Russell. I hope there’s not trouble in paradise. He’s still posting photos of her on his Instagram
Wait…WHY DO MOLLY AND SHERRY AKA JACKIE HAVE THE SAME AVI?! CLOCKEDT!

Kiiiiiii WHERE IS ANNALISE? ???
Sis im SCREAMING!!!
@HailBeysus why the girls so irate whenever we present facts and try to be cordial?! LMAO! Someone needs to start a GoFundMe and support all the kidz who any afford to transition in the United States, it’s the most tragic kiiii
@RihNavy Kiii right!?!?! Lets get that #FeedHe-ArAh GoFundMe going! We all saw how that Man was starving in that interview poor thang!!!
Funny because someone said it was you in the other post and VOILA you magically appear in this one. Kii. Keep on trolling sis. I hope you enjoy because you could NEVER be #JACKIE bih. Now check THAT!
I’m sorry I don’t speak #19k, that’s a knockoff and disrespectful to actual 24 carat, GOLD. Please hang up and try again
Kiiii
I really like Ciara, always have since ‘Promise’, but I’m just getting tired of her saying the same thing about each new project (“I’m making sure it’s my best yet”, “I’m super excited about this project”). It’s starting to feel like each album is lacking an identity, she describes every one the same way lately!
I could be wrong, but I think Ciara’s approaching making music the wrong way now. She seems to be focusing on the performance end and not developing a sound that’s more melodic first. ‘Gimme Dat’, ‘Sweat’, ‘I’m Out’, even ‘I’m Legit’ (which was the best effort out of these string of songs) isn’t material that stick with people! I think Ciara should concentrate on the music being sweeter and more melodious (whether it’s uptempo or mid-tempo) and then marry this with a dance routine that compliments the music! Janet comes to mind with ‘I Get Lonely’ (the choreography is perfect for that song) and this is what I want for Cici! She seems to win more often when she slides into a catchy mid-tempo or sings about more personal things (‘Ride’, ‘Body Party’, ‘I Bet’). I really think it’s time to piece together a complete ALBUM that’s listenable and not mull over these hard singles that she believes will birth something explosive on stage. I I don’t mind the dance tracks, but Ciara is getting to militant with her sound and I think she strikes gold when she softens it up (in her case).

Dear Daria.
You’ll never be Quinn and no matter how many times you go to the fish market and shove rainbow trout up your acidic bussssy, you’ll NEVER serve fish because you’re anatomically built like a wheelbarrow except no ones wants to ride you or be in you, no matter HOW many hormone shots you take and no matter, HOW much you try to tuck. You’ll always be my lessor
How long did it take you to formulate that try-hard ass read? Like seriously how long did you have it saved in your Microsoft Word files? Do you feel accomplished sis? Have you obtained your GED yet?
Has your fave found a new label or gone gold with all 3 of her past flops combined?
Go back to trolling as me and get off my D I C K f*****.

It’s funny…because you wouldn’t say that to Annalise’s face if she was here and I can’t WAIT for her to show up and EXPOSE YOU for the FILTH you are. She has ALLLLL your tea and you keep TRYING her. Annalise is the ring leader and you don’t gone out of bounds, prepare for war heaux
Her face? Bih this is the Internet. You are so dumb kii. I will straight body a b**** if we were face-to-face, but I digress. ?
I’m sure you would. Like fave, like flop, but get those coins and that body count up sis
Anyway…. Back to CIARA…..
Back to her greeting dropped? Back to her completing her transition? Back to her barebacking Russell BROKE? Back to barely promoting and having children out of wedlock to stay relevant?

Up out my replies bih. You’re obsessed.
Obsessed is my favorite Beyoncé movie? Yes, yes it is. I’m obsessed with relevance. Where is your fave’s movie or relevance? Find it and then address me.
Ok look yall…*deep sigh*
I have defended Ciara tooth and nail for years now. I absolutely love her with all my soul. I do. But I’m tired of her letting me down because I want to see her win I really do. However she keeps selling herself short. You don’t see Beyoncé doing full throttle choreography because it isn’t her strength. Ciara needs to stop attempting to prove vocal ability and stick to what got her here.
My biggest problem with her is that she only makes videos for singles. She needs to be VISUAL. Vocal capabilities are not get strong suit. I love her but I’m being honest. Rihanna is not a vocalist neither however she STICKS TO HER STRENGTHS. The world fell in love with Ciara and she was worldwide top seller for two albums straight then she abandoned her craft. We need her to make super catchy music with great choreography because I KNOW that’s what she’s good for. I mean look at Taylor Swift or Katy Perry. They’re terrible singers. But they’re visually stunning artists with great writers and producers on their team.
Come Thru Queen CiCi!
“I’m taking my time with it, I’m super, super excited about this project. You know, I really want to make sure that its truly my best yet, and also I want to take my time.”

My girl about to crack the globe!! Bring it CiCi!!!! Take yo time and Bring it when it’s ready! I am so excited! I’m not even about to say what I want from her or what I expect. I’m going in open minded with this one. Just come hard and give us fans our JUST deserves. ❤
Come thru cici, I can already tell this album will slay :)) can’t wait for the new era
HeHe on new LP
My Record Label is NO
My Album is NO
My Sales are NO
You need to let it go
You need to let it go
Nah to Ah to the NO, NO, NO.
Loool even Megan waistbands is more relevant than male model
Lmfao!!!
Wow So Many Haters Anyways Im Excited For Cici U Got To Give Her Credit For Not Giving Up She A Fighter And Thats What I Like About Her As In Artist She Has Grown As A Artist That Right Cici Stay Focous Release It When It Ready Ignore The Haters.
You can tell she’s making up s h i t. She could not give a straight answer & its wasn’t a suspense thing, she just don’t have absolutely nothing cooked up. Talking abt taking her time bish find a label first.
Rihnavy is the one behind the sherry account when will you girls learn.
All shade aside the woman is talented but she’s not pushing her full potential and that’s the frustration.
Single choices must be better and songs where she can kill a routine full tilt.
One woman Army is the one I really wanted as that was the one to break her back on her true level. Strong stage presence counts for a lot and we don’t get enough of hers at the highest level.
At least she has a Grammy. You know an award that not everyone can get.
I root for her but I’m sick of Ciara spewing the same thing evey time she’s about to release an album. It’s like clockwork now; Ciara announces album, Ciara says album will be her best yet only for it to have two or three standout tracks while the rest are filler, Ciara doesn’t promote album and when she does it’s often by way of the wrong singles or outlets and lastly, Ciara abandons album campaign before it can even properly take off.
RihNavy is responsible for the trolls accounts. He’s pretending to be close to the Hive to turn on them as revenge for being dragged into complete isolation. bookmark me.
‘Ciara’ was a great album with several bangers and slow burn jams on it. Her management and promotion has always been iffy. ‘Jackie’ was a step back, musically, for me. But she’s in a real rebuilding phase with this relationship (staged or not), hosting and TV gigs, ad campaigns and sponsorships. Maybe not top-tier stuff she’s attaching her name to, but she’s slowly rebuilding awareness.
Hopefully she can deliver with this next album. 1 or 2 charting singles could do wonders and some videos with real choreography! ‘I Bet’ and ‘Dance Like Were Making Love’ we’re beautiful videos, but she’s at her best when she’s destroying the dance floor.
I mean, do y’all really think she’s working on this album though? Cause I don’t. I’m Anxious for it, but I feel like she’s living life and getting inspired. If she is, she’s in the beginning stages. I’m not expecting this album anytime soon. But this timing plus the Essence festival is kinda perfect. They better have an efficient promo campaign in store!
Would like to see her work with Chris brown or Tinashe or Britney spears or Brandy
