Who knows what the future holds for Ciara’s music career. She’s been in the industry long enough to become an A-List Pop/R&B star but the talented songstress just can’t seem to reach the top. Today, an unreleased track surfaces under the title of “Gifted.” The track was produced by Tricky Stewart and The-Dream.

It’s your standard upbeat urban affair from Tricky and The-Dream. The production is neat, nothing super catchy or amazing and Ciara likens herself to a prostitute, lyrically. Take a listen below.

An unreleased cut from Ciara’s Basic Instinct made its way online, not too long ago. The song is entitled “Love’s Funny” and its simplistic beauty is what will touch you.

The song does not fit in with the rest of the album but it certainly stands on its own. Ciara is not known for her vocals but ironically the vocals make this song with its simple piano backing.

Rye Rye, that fly ass young lady from Baltimore went and did a remix of Ciara’s “Gimme Dat.” The song will appear on the artist’s upcoming mixtape album, RYEot PowRR.

If you thought the original was pumping and bumping then this newly reworked version, produced by DJ Sega, will set a speaker on fire. Raise that volume, raise that bass and get into this wildness of fun. Shouts to Rap-Up.com.

Rye Rye’s debut album, Go! Pop! Bang!, is slated to hit music outlets in the early part of this year via N.E.E.T./Interscope Records. She also shot a viral video for the tune. View a behind-the-scenes look after…

Proph whipped up a nice post comparing the promo schedule of Ciara compared to Keri Hilson’s (VIEW HERE). It all goes to show that Ciara has not reached her maximum potential and most likely never will… Look above, that photo alone shows she has the look game on lock and this bonus track displays where she shines in music.

The Basic Instinct bonus, “Listen To My Song,” leaked in CDQ and this The-Dream & Tricky Stewart creation shows off just how well Ciara rides a midtempo with a slamming melody.

So much for slow leaking, Ciara’s Basic Instinct is spreading through the blogosphere as we type. All eleven tracks are now available to listen to, in full CDQ. After an entire listen, we’ve come to the conclusion that the album is… BASS; each and every track is made for subwoofers. Ciara still keeps her exploration of Pop but has primarily returned to the sound of her Goodies days.

One of the better cuts from the album is definitely track four: “Heavy Rotation.” The song has some Pop appeal but the bass could easily push this song on the urban charts. Another catch about this song is the melody which is just that feel-good dance vibe.

Ciara’s fourth studio LP, Basic Instinct, will hit stores on December 14 and the tracks are slowly starting to leak. The latest leak is track number eight, “You Can Get It,” produced and written by Tricky Stewart and The-Dream.

If you’ve heard any of Tricky’s and The-Dream’s work before then you’ve heard this. It’s their signature R&B midtempo tune; Ciara rides the beat in a familiar fashion. It’s a nice sounding track, all in all.

Well looky here, Ciara’s Basic Instinct is to be released in a few short weeks and it seems like not a lick of promotion has been laid upon this album. Well a little reminder popped up yesterday reminding everyone that the album is still green-lit for December 14; thirty second snippets of all eleven tracks were released.

From the sound of it, Basic Instinct seems to be solid. Aside from all the songs that have leaked onto the net, track four, “Heavy Rotation,” is the best sounding track. There is a lot of Bass usage on the album whilst trying to show Ciara off in a less-glamorous, more-urban light. Take a listen to the sampler below.

In addition to the sampler, the “Urban Bass Remix” of “Gimme Dat,” produced by Soundz, hit the net. Included are brand new vocals, lyrics and a slammin’ new beat. They lowered the tempo and… just listen below.

Ciara never made it on the final version of Usher’s “Hot Tottie” but no worries because Usher assists on this new Ciara leak. The song, entitled “Turn It Up,” is just a leak and has not been confirmed to appear on CiCi’s Basic Instinct.

Ciara is following the pack by going the Dance route for this uptempo track. It is definitely something different from all the urban that she’s been promising her fans for this forthcoming album. No complaints though because the song does not come off as desperate but comes off as a fun rush of energy.

Ciara stans and casual fans can rest easy now. With 3 videos out already for this era (“Ride,” “Speechless and “Gimme Dat”) it would be a shame if another video was released before Basic Instinct‘s release. No worries though, last night on Ustream, Ciara confirmed the release date of Basic Instinct:December 14.

So Basic Instinct and Last Train to Paris will be going up against each other. With Ciara “going back” to her roots this album, will this push her back into the Top 40 scene?

It’s cool how they did a few audio edits to the song to put emphasis on the bass. That intro with the black lambo and dance break at the end is leaving burns all over. Ciara is just too damn “FLY” and sexy in this video. It’s definitely one of her best to date.

Question: Why does VEVO and Ciara’s record label block the video outside of the US from being viewed? You would think an artist like her would take all the international exposure…

So a great deal of you have probably been bumping the official remix of Chris Brown’s “Deuces” which features Drake, T.I., Kanye West, Fabolous, Rick Ross & Andre 3000. The #1 R&B song in the US receives major support with this All Star Hip-Hop line-up.

Honestly, we fully understand and support this because let’s face it, the remix is pure heat and some sponsoring by a crop of today’s top-of-the-pack rappers is great for Brown’s popularity. However it’s the original song that won over a mass of people and this remix drowns out Breezy. It’s like “Deuces” by Various Artists instead of Chris Brown featuring… Point is, the remix is deadly on its own song but the simplicity of the original is where it’s at, DEUCES! Listen to Ciara’s cover after…

Jumping on the success of “Deuces” is Ciara as she puts her spin on the track for her upcoming Basic Instinct mixtape. CiCi’s version is “for the ladies” and it’s not hard to admit that she does a fine job on the track. Her soft vocals and flow fit the production very well.

Just when the 2010 VMA’s performance line-up was looking full of mess with one or two exceptions, it was recently confirmed by Ciara herself that she is to take the stage at this year’s ceremonies:

Club Mansion was so much fun, my night couldn’t have eneded any sweeter! Off 2 LA to shoot Gimmie Dat, Speechless, and Perform on the VMA’s! [SOURCE]

Correct us if we’re wrong but won’t this make it the first time, EVER, that Ciara performs solely on the VMA stage. It’s about damn time and this is just the sort of promo she needs for her album. September 12, tune in people.

Usher is giving the Lady GaGa The Fame Monster treatment to his chart topping album, Raymond vs. Raymond. The album cover just recently leaked… [SOURCE 1] [SOURCE 2]

Lots of pink and purple and bold text which looks very Miami nightlife. From the sounds of the leaked ““DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love” featuring Pitbull and “Get in My Car” featuring Bun B, the album will be all sorts of uptempo fun. Another track to look forward to is “Hot Toddy” featuring Ciara and Jay-Z. Look out for Versus on August 24.

Things are warming up as the official album cover for Ciara’s Basic Instinct, out August 17, just popped up on the net. The cover is a basic done-up beauty shot. One word to sum up Ciara and this cover, GORGEOUS!

As Ciara promised in previous interviews, she’s going home with her second single, “Gimme Dat,” and sound for her forthcoming album. The single, chalked full of bass and we mean the kind that will have your car vibrating without the volume being turned up to the max, is lifted from her fourth studio album, Basic Instinct, out August 17.

Guess what? The song is uptempo and does not feature a millisecond of electro… The Tricky Stewart and Soundz produced “Gimme Dat” is pure “fiya,” meant for the dance floor and will have radios crushin’. In a recent interview Ciara said Basic Instinct will in fact be “bass heavy” and will be a mix of all three of her previous albums: R&B, Hip-Hop and Pop. Well y’know how we be stans for anything with a deep bassline…

Before the album arrives next month there will be a Basic Instinct mixtape, so look out for that. “Ride” has attained success with minimal promotion and “Gimme Dat” could blow up so we ask Ciara’s team (if you can see this) to promote Promote PROMOTE!

Ciara has already stepped out on the right foot for her Basic Instinct album with lead single “Ride,” featuring Ludacris. The only thing missing is the uptempo and Ciara answers that in this new leak, made for the clubs, “Get It Girl.”

Ciara stated this forthcoming album will make you dance and “Get It Girl” may be the first bit of music, this era, to make us dance like Crunk&B at its prime. This song is such an urban banger and we love CiCi’s pauses in her vocal delivery. If you’re looking for depth then look elsewhere but if you want to have a fun and free time then listen to this song.

For those of you who may like the original “Ride” but thought the tempo was lacking, then this new official remix of the single should be your cup of tea. Ciara puts a twist on the single for a 90′s booty bass vibe.

This remix is the sound that made Ciara who she is; an uptempo jam you can have fun and freestyle dance to. To be honest this would be a better contender for a first single than the original, it just would wake the listener up and keep them listening, perfect for summer.

Don’t worry though, Ciara spoke about the next single and said it would be something that will make you get up and move. Thumbs up to this nice lil remix. Spotted at Toya‘s.

It’s happening again, Ciara’s album is about to be spoiled due to various leaks. A new song produced by Danja and entitled “This Is What Love Is” hit the net a few hours ago. No telling whether or not this is from her forthcoming album or her last album.

The song has a mean bassline and subtle synths, it’s pretty much a Danja production. The vocals are usual Ciara; they are light and semi-whispery. Overall, the song is not great but every enjoyable.
