Theshigo Washidu Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 I was in fear that this was going to sound dated, but it actually knocks? The verses are bit...Twitter lingo however. On 2/16/2023 at 9:02 PM, Dr. Alexander said: The record is an improvement. This new branding and image for her music career doesn’t work though. It’s clearly very inauthentic. The “girl from the streets” cosplay, as if she isn’t living in a multi-million dollar home with a mass of white friends is interesting. Poor Russell has been trying to keep up with it, but it comes off as even more inauthentic to him. Lowkey tea. The "grown and sexy" vibe/sound would've worked and has worked previously for Ciara, but this type of R&B sound is what's in at the moment. Summer Walker wouldn't have sounded out of place on this record.
KING ACE Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) Ugghhh I really want her to do more of a hiphop/Trap r&b or Sensual R&b that has a timeless sound. (with better songwriting) But this women empowerment, black pride, Goodies/Gimme Dat Part 5 that she keeps trying to redo over and over is sooooooooo played. These past few years the music she has been putting out have been pretty bland. It’s not that they aren’t good, but they are lacking more of her personality that we got from the first two albums and then the Ciara “self titled” album. I don’t know why she or her team doesn’t see that. Edited February 18, 2023 by KING ACE
Power love Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 I don’t want to judge too much until it’s officially out but this sounds like a song she’s done before . In fact all the songs released so far feels like a greatest rehash of hits she’s done. I have lost hope she will ever give us. Master piece. Self titled “Ciara” remains her best album .
ccfan007 Posted February 23, 2023 Author Posted February 23, 2023 With all of the backlash she received on twitter just from those little snippets, I'm worried she won't release this at all now.
ThaInfo1 Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 lmao she's slowly getting there. The tempo is good, I just can't help but agree with this tweet that said "we don't want no struggling single lady music from someone who has the LIFE" lol. She gotta give us them body party/promises and give us something to slow wind these hips too. Her target audience doesn't need to be moving that quickly anyway. We are getting old.
sweetkiss Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 i am tired of backlash from anything she ever is doing. people dont wanna see her enjoying herself, thats what it is. if she got her heart broken or is in toxic relationship stans would be popping left and right

The backlash she’s receiving is ridiculous. How many songs do artist release that they never experience the situation etc… Just because she’s happily married doesn’t mean she can’t sing about heartbreak
collin Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 Hmm I kind of like the snippet! This is some classic Ciara and I could see it doing a little something.
ATRL Moderator Azulito Posted March 14, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted March 14, 2023 @ccfan007 can you add quotations around the song title? Ciara - "Da Girls"

Power love Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 It’s funny because she released this about her husband yet it was paid dust. Twitter is soo annoying! Let her release what she wants!

I’m not too excited for this track tbh, but I’m looking forward to hearing the full. She should also just announce the album ffs, “Fantasy Ride”, “Basic Instinct”, “OWA”/“Ciara”, “Beauty Marks”, and now this one have all had long drawn-out releases.

ccfan007 Posted March 23, 2023 Author Posted March 23, 2023 Has anybody been able to hear this yet from other countries?

They need to reintroduce her to pop formats and audiences and should have used her husband’s hype (when he had it) to make that push into middle America pop radio stations.

I'm just glad it charted in the top 40 on pop radio and I actually got to hear it 3-4 times.
