Almost anyone who’s been watching entertainment channels (like those available with satellite TV service from www.direct.tv) should recognize the name Ciara, most likely from one of her exciting music videos. Recording artist Ciara should be considered a quadruple threat in the entertainment world. In addition to singing, the performer dances, acts and models. She was born in Austin, TX, and moved all over the world as a child.
Ciara moved to Atlanta, GA, and was introduced to Jazze Pha, a music producer and her musical soul mate. He helped her to sign with LaFace Records and she has sold over seven million albums throughout the world. From 2002 to 2003, Ciara formed a group called Hearsay with two of her friends. Unfortunately, the group had disagreements and broke up before they had a chance to become successful.
Ciara was determined to have a song published, however, and was able to achieve this dream when Fantasia Barrino recorded a song Ciara had written called “Got Me Waiting.” Ciara began recording her own music with Jazze Pha in 2002; her song “Lookin’ at You” was one of her first recordings and became a hit single.
To date Ciara has released four albums and is well on her way to super stardom. Ciara’s new music video is shown on several music channels available from your local satellite TV provider. Fans can also find more information at her official website.

The name is inspired by the 1992 neo-noir film starring Sharon Stone as an ice-pick wielding killer. That should be enough to tell you that Ciara’s new album is going to sound dangerousand very sexy. This blend is what has gotten the video for the first single, “Ride”, banned from BET and UK music channels due to its content. Reviewers have commented on the song’s sleek feel, with its slow-tempo and heavy bass that is sure to make it a summer hit.
Despite that, the album’s cover is relatively mysterious, simply showing one of Ciara’s steely eyes, the other being covered by her flowing hair. That same attitude comes out on the second single, “Gimme That”, which will be released July 27. Far from slow, this song is full of energy and fast beats, with Ciara screaming over it all.

If you can’t wait for Ciara’s new album Basic Instinct to drop, and you’ve already spun out all her other ones, we’ve got the list for you. These artists all rock just like Ciara, while bringing their own unique feel to the music.
- Keri Hilson: Hilson’s actually written hits for Ciara, along with Britney Spears, Usher, and Ludacris. It’s no surprise that her 2009 debut In a Perfect World has the same infectious energy, backed up by futuristic electro beats. The single for her new album, featuring Lil Kim, is due in August.
- Kelly Rowland: Rowland’s group Destiny’s Child was a major inspiration for Ciara. While Kelly hasn’t hit the same solo popularity as Beyonce, her two albums, Simply Deep and Ms. Kelly, offer something out of the ordinary. Simply Deep is a more pop-rock-oriented record, while Ms. Kelly sounds more urban and personal. Her 3rd self-titled album will feature a dance flavor and is set to be released this fall. Read More »
