Ciara Continues Her “Evolution” with New Album

As the title indicates, Ciara's new album aims to demonstrate her growth as a singer, songwriter, producer and performer, which will hopefully stop observers from solely associating her with her breakout single, Goodies. left “When ‘Goodies’ came out, people labeled me the ‘Princess of Crunk ‘N B,’ but that was just one song, one sound,” Ciara says. “For this album, I took my inspiration from many different influences and the sound really reflects that.” That sound is provided by a laundry list of big-name producers. Rodney Jerkins, Pharrell Williams, Will.i.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and Lil Jon all contributed beats to the project. Still, the biggest source of creativity on the album came from Ciara herself. On top of writing/co-writing every song on The Evolution, she also co-produced almost every track. By providing her own input, Ciara says the dance numbers she’s known for will also give fans a glimpse into her personality. “The world loves to dance, so I wanted to give them music to dance to,” she says. “But at the same time, the message is so much stronger. This time around, I’m taking people into my world and letting them see more of who I truly am.” The Evolution hits stores December 5, and the album's first single, “Promise” hits radio October 16.

Ciara is looking great. It's a miracle what a change in hair color can do for you. She is absolutely beautiful. Now if she can just lose the entourage of dancers and hangers-ons and start singing some real R & B she will be a star.

ciara man, i don't even know how to come at you. i just wanted you to write me saying anything. i just wanna feel that you are all for your fans. don't get me wrong, i know you love your fans. i'm tryna do the same thing you are doing which is come up. i'm in augusta and down here its too many people striving for the same thing. nobody shines the light on us though. we got some good ass rappers and singers here.i love the song (i'm just me).you keep it real and for that you have my upmost respect. remember girl:(u real when u can stay the same)!
