Ladies it's your song, so as soon as this come on/You should get out on the floor, go on and get your sexy on/If you know that you better,than the new girl that he on/ Go 'head and tell him now, you gon' miss me when I'm gone.
It's safe to say that Ciara is having the best era of her career since 2006's The Evolution. Back in September she broke out with very personal "Sorry," which had peaked fans and critics interest in what her new album One Woman Army, had in store--but "Got Me Good" happened and the project went dead shortly there after. Months later after regrouping and realizing that the Beyonce formula of releasing one urban single and one pop single wasn't going to work, she debuted "Body Party," renamed the album, and fans interest reignited.
Yesterday Ciara premiered the highly-anticipated music video for the self-titled album's second single "I'm Out" featuring Nicki Minaj. The Michael and Janet Jackson "Scream" inspired video lives up to the long wait, featuring an endless amount of high-energy, some impressive choreography, gold covered grills, and fantastic styling. The duo took to the stage during last night's BET Awards to perform the single live.
The 27 year-old's fifth studio album CIARA hits stores on July 9, continue reading to watch Nicki and Ms. Harris get their cake up.
By this point Ciara should be a lot further in her music career than she is. Five albums in, several impressive singles, a ton of collaborations with mega-stars, a number of innovative music videos, and a stage presence that rivals many of Billboard's queens and kings, but somehow she remains unknown to mainstream. At this point in their careers she can dance better than Britney and Janet, and while her voice isn't the strongest, neither were the aforementioned.
With the Justin Timberlake assisted "Love Sex Magic" her star should have immediately took off. It reached #10 on the Billboard Hot 100, earning her a spot on the stage of Saturday Night Live, still Fantasy Ride, the album that housed the single, tanked. Hopefully her new album will see her continue the success that he had with Goodies and The Evolution, and she can continue to show and prove why she deserves a little more respect than she is given.
I continue to stan for her slower tempos, "Promise," "Supernatural," "Sorry," "Body Party," "My Love," her voice isn't strong enough to pull off a ballad, but she kills every slow-tempo she puts out. Maybe that's the routs she should follow.
