It may be cold outside, but Ciara is looking to bring the heat.

The R&B chanteuse is set to both co-host and perform on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.

Having poured out a steady flow of fresh tracks this year, such as ‘Jump’ and ‘Better Thangs’ with Summer Walker, CiCi isn’t short on songs to perform. Especially when factoring in the potential of live offerings of her classics.

However, it appears the GRAMMY-winner will be seizing the moment to serve up something new.

Because she’s previewed an unheard track while promoting the December 31 special.

Ciara has found a way to make her latest critically acclaimed cut, ‘Better Thangs,’ even better!

The follow-up to her high octane comeback single, ‘Jump,’ the original incarnation of ‘Better’ famously features vocals from her fellow ATL-reared R&B diva Summer Walker.

Garnering some serious thumbs up from the GRAMMY winner’s loyal fans, affectionately called the #CSquad, the mid-tempo bop – just a month after its official release – is getting recharged thanks to rising rapstress GloRilla.

“Thought I’d never leave him, man, I thought it was impossible / Then I had to realize what I tolerate, it’s options / And anything I tell myself is poppin’, what’s poppin’?”

After jumpstarting her 8th official era with the sizzling cut ‘Jump,‘ singer-songwriter Ciara is moving on to better thangs.

The newest taste of what’s set to line the yet-titled project’s tracklist, ‘Better Thangs’ is an “out with the old” anthem that features R&B sensation Summer Walker and sees the two trade verses about leaving a no-good man behind.

“No, it ain’t worth my time, no / Stop calling my line / You ain’t even cross my mind / Now I’m wanting better things,” they croon on the chorus.

Coming as the second time the two have shared studio time (following ‘Ciara’s Prayer’ which is featured on Walker’s Billboard 200-topping sophomore album ‘Still Over It’), hop inside to hear ‘Better.’

Three years after leaving her mark on R&B charts with her seventh studio album ‘Beauty Marks,’ our girl Ciara is ready to jump back to the top of charts with her new single, ‘Jump.’

The twerktastic bop, which has been amply tased over the last few weeks, comes as the first taste of the gems set to line the singer’s yet-titled eighth studio album – her first under a new deal with Republic Records (as we reported here).

“If you want it, I got all the flavors you need / Get up on it, come apply that pressure on me / You’ve been waiting, saying what you gon’ do, we gon’ see,” Cici croons over the bumping Sam Sumser production.

Ahead of the premiere of the tune’s official music video on Friday at 9a PST (July 8), look jump inside for your first listen to ‘Jump’:

Over the course of her career, Ciara has successfully established a broad and diverse reach with her brand. A fact that’s evidenced in her latest collaboration with Kellogg’s. 

CiCi has been tapped to promote the Rice Krispies Treats and has produced a song to do so – and it’s aptly named ‘Treats.’

Having just nabbed her first top 10 hit on the Gospel charts four months ago thanks to her collaboration with fellow GRAMMY winner Tasha Cobbs Leonard, singer-songwriter Ciara is no stranger to the format.

And if the response from her beloved fan base (affectionately called #CSquad) is any indication, she may be set for another run in the genre’s top 10 thanks to her feature on Maverick City Music‘s latest effort, ‘Jubilee: Juneteenth Edition’ (released June 18).

A revamp of their February 2021-released ‘Jubilee’ EP, the new edition sees the award-winning Contemporary Worship group call on a star-studded list of contributors that includes the likes of Tamar Braxton, Lecrae, Israel Houghton, Jekalyn Carr, and more to fill out its 19-song tracklist.

Cici joins Haroldd and Rapsody on the housed cut, ‘On and On.’  Hear it inside:

‘Break Every Chain’ beauty Tasha Cobbs Leonard is no stranger to breaking out of Gospel molds to collaborate with secular hitmakers.

Three years after nabbing a chart-topper with Rap Queen Nicki Minaj (click here to listen), the Gospel diva has has courted fellow GRAMMY-winning stageblazer Ciara to assist on an uplifting track.

Titled ‘In Spite of Me,’ the song is lifted from Cobbs Leonard’s latest project ‘Royalty: Live At The Ryman’ (which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Albums chart this week).

Blanco Brown may have already scored a top 20 hit earlier this year with his debut single, ‘The Git Up,’ but now he’s teaming with ‘Get Up’ singer Ciara to get the song back up to Billboard’s upper rankings.

Giving fans a new reason to 1,2 step, Cici takes it back to her Southern roots with the remix’s sassy verses:

“Let me see you two step, then one, two step/ Do the cowgirl boogie, both you hands like this/ Take it to the floor with a whole lotta drip/ Now show off your moves in your new outfit/ Get low…get low…get low then wind it up slow.”

While the Country, Hip Hop-inspired jam has earned comparison to that of Lil Nas X‘s megahit, ‘Old Town Road,’ the diva’s fiery contributions alongside a reported soon-to-drop music video could finally be just what ‘Git Up’ needs to get out of ‘Road’s shadow.
