Despite a number of false-starts, Ciara‘s ‘Basic Instinct’ project appears to be back on track. As previously reported, the 24 year old is set to follow-up the Urban smash that was ‘Ride’ with dual-singles ‘Gimme Dat’ and ‘Speechless’.

With both performing well on US radio (particularly ‘Speechless’, which is exploding prior to its official add date), the 24 year is reportedly set to shoot the video for each within the next two weeks.

Regardless of the delays, if there’s one arena you can’t fault Ms. Harris on, it’s her videos. No doubt she’ll ‘bring it’ and then some.
