R&B star Ciara is blazing the press trail for her latest collection of jams, ‘Jackie.’
The hotly anticipated album, her sixth studio effort, arrives on May 4th, as such CiCi is leaving no promotional stone unturned.
BET was the ‘I Bet’ belter’s most recent stop.
There she opened about the concept of the project, its message, her journey in the music business, and her evolution as a woman because of it. At this junction, Super Ci bills herself as a ‘B.M.F’!
Yes, before the May 4th unveiling of her new album ‘Jackie’ the R&B belle has been selected to rock the music festival in support of her new material and its supporting US tour.
Ciara gets her Amazonian on in a stunning new snap for new album ‘Jackie.’
The promotional image, which was unveiled by W Magazine, is the latest visual for the singer’s sixth studio album, which arrives May 4th via Epic Records.
Its unwrapping comes on the same day the diva announced the project’s official tracklist.
Next month is set to be a busy one for the performer; for, not only is ‘Jackie’ dancing into stores, Ci will be embarking on a US tour to support it from May 3rd. The trek’s Fillmore Silver Spring stop on May 9th will be aired live globally on Yahoo.
The last few months have seen the singer in full-on promo mode for new album ‘Jackie,’ yet she’s been somewhat quiet about a number of topics – most notably the end of her relationship with rapper Future.
Today, all that that changed.
The ‘I Bet’ belter stopped by The Breakfast Club and readily spilled all.
For, while Charlamagne was not present, hosts DJ Envy and Angela Yee still stayed true to the show’s roots by asking the tough questions folk want answers to. And CiCi willingly obliged.
Watch below as Ms. Harris sounds off on her break-up, album sales, new music, Jermaine Dupri, and much more.
R&B chanteuse Ciara is covering all bases with current single ‘I Bet.’
Steadily rising on Urban radio, the melodic hit receives not one but two remixes – both of which feature on the deluxe edition of new album ‘Jackie’ (due May 4th).
The first, a Pop garnished version, has been christened the R3hab Remix, while the second is more Urban skewed and features fellow Atlanta star T.I.
What are you waiting for? Both ‘Bet’s’ await below…
R&B star Ciara took front-stage center at BET’s Black Girls Rock tonight to perform ‘I Bet’ – the lead single from new album ‘Jackie’ (due May 4th).
A departure of sorts from the singer’s trademark choreographed offerings, this live showcase instead placed the spotlight on her voice. And oh did she soar.
Today’s From The Vault comes courtesy of Ciara and her T-Pain assisted jam ‘Go Girl’.
Released at the end of Summer 2008, the track was produced by the King of Autotune who was also featured on the track. It was announced as the lead single of Ciara’s then upcoming LP ‘Fantasy Ride.’ Sadly, it didn’t live up to the beauty’s previous charts credentials, and spent a sole week on the Billboard Hot 100 at #78. It fared better on the R&B/Hip-Hop tally where it reached the 26th position.
Still, because of the single’s so-so performance, it was deemed a “buzz single” and was replaced as the official first single by the Justin Timberlake-assisted ‘Love Sex Magic’ the subsequent year.
Still, it’s not always about numbers. A point highlighted by the track’s impeccable video.
Melina Matsoukas directed the edgy visual which pictured CiCi as a naughty secretary as well as a bionic woman. Evidently, with this being a visual to a Ciara upbeat track, choreography was a focal point and as always, the performer pushed the envelope with slick and precise dancing. Beyond the execution, the actual moves were both creative and intricate and further cemented Ci as a performing force.
Say what folk will about the singer, but throughout her decade plus career she has blessed the industry with some of the most compelling music visuals in the “Pop” arena. No matter the budget attached to them, whether over-the-top or understated, she and her creative team have the uncanny ability to consistently come up with entertaining videos which are rich in replay value. From ‘Goodies’ and ‘Work’ to ‘Body Party’ and ‘I Bet,’ Ciara is the example of an artist actually working on their craft and still as hungry – if not more – than when they burst into the scene. A trait we have the utmost respect for.
Fans of Ciara and Nicole Scherzinger may want to mark May 26th on their calendars.
