Now just months away from the release of his new album, the Hip Hop hero that is Future joined fiancee Ciara in Milan recently, where they posed for the killer snap placed above.

Akin to something one might expect to see in Wachowski’s ‘The Matrix’, the blacked-out pair shared the pic with the world via Ciara‘s Instagram page, just two weeks before they attend the 56th Annual Grammy Awards alongside the likes of Pharrell Williams, Lorde, Katy Perry-and if reports published this week are to be believed- Ciara‘s R&B relative Beyonce.

Respected and admired for calm manner and even cooler music, the last decade has seen Ciara navigate her way through the industry without facing the drama and scandal that keeps so many of her rivals glued to headlines.

Indeed, save for a number of well publicised bumps in her career’s road, the star’s personal image stands just as clean today as it was during her debut.

So, perhaps with her efforts to keep it ‘all about the music’ in mind, the mild mannered maestra penned an open letter to the world yesterday, questioning the impact social media has on those the world deems easy targets, urging fans to steer clear of the negativity that currently overshadows the art form she loves so much.

Case, point these newly shared vacation snaps on Instagram. Check out above and below…

‘This is only the beginning.’

With ten years held in the game and numerous accolades to show for it, there are some who find themselves becoming a little confused when the above sentence is uttered by R&B’s Ciara…ten years into her career.

However, as the case should be, the entertainer’s stance on her career comes from a more informed place by those who week to belittle her potential and achievements.

For, while her self-titled album didn’t bring in the numbers it’s well oiled promo-machine had called for, the campaign- as you’ll see below- was not in vain.

In fact, the efforts employed to push the album have now gone on to form a firm foundation for the next level of her career.

While Justin Timberlake and Robin Thicke sit atop R&B’s throne with a smash hit or two pulled in the last year, Billboard’s ‘Top R&B / Hip Hop Artists’ Year-End chart goes a long way to celebrate the achievements made by a number of their competitors.

Think Nicki Minaj, think Rihanna, think Ciara and the Grammy winning singer/songwriter that is Miguel, all of whom make commendable appearances on the list.

Well loved and respected for her cool manner and even cooler music, the last year has seen Ciara win over the hearts of many a music lover with a self-titled album she called her most personal yet.
