lol this topic is not about cici album haha, you guys made it about im out?? 

All of this ties to the album though. I think it's important people are educated on the journey and why fans are frustrated with her decisions. It all comes back to what happened in the past.

It's very curious that, at present, only Amazon has the album listed; no streaming platform that I can see has the album. Only the EP is present; perhaps the EP is why the album (of the same title) is not present at this moment? Or she could still be working on finalising those track listings, etc., especially if she's still recording.

I'm hoping that's the case but knowing her who knows. She just has a terrible team that does everything wrong. Really hoping because of the backlash of the Tracklisting she changes it a bit!

Currently things aren't looking so good. She has no excitement or real following for her album. July 11th is right around the corner. She just doesn't know how to build hype and as a free independent artist she has all the freedom to do so and just chooses not to. 

for me having 2023 EP being the "album" killed the hype. im just cringing so hard and pretending its not happening

Agreed!

It would've been a massive hit for her. It was gaining on radio & streams.

Everybody always says this but I disagree. It sounds like what a pop hit sounds like, but that song is so soulless and generic.

Nobody really sitting on the edge of their seat waiting for the next Ciara release anymore because of all the lukewarm releases she's had over the years. She gotta pull the girls back in with a story.

 

but I will say it seems hard for all of the black R&b girls. It seems like the only black women winning rn in music are the rappers. Outside of Sza & Summer Walker, If you don't rap/sing you're most likely not seeing that much success. 

This kind of what I mean when I say ci needs to pull us in with a story

I suggested this very specific rollout when she went independent. Chile im over it.

 

she's boring, basic, lazy and blah but she had no excuse to be. It's so tragic

Ciara is headlining this festival tonight... her set is an hour long so maybe we'll hear some of the "new" tracks that were not on the track list? Or maybe a performance of Ecstasy at least.

Hopefully she uses this money from the festival to fund the era 

 

she needs to book the BET Awards, at least another late/day night performance (preferably before the album release). I hate when she do outside performances. Stage lighting inside just looks more lucrative to me. We need a performance of Ecstasy with full on choreo and a live band. Ughhhh man why is it so hard to get this from her nowadays 

 

 

 

 

 

 

love that she performed some deep cuts

Yeahhh her not having choreography for ecstasy is crazy. I feel like she avoids dancing full out for some reason.

 

the chair trick is cool but…

 

 

maybe shes not strong enough to do full choreography. i mean im talking out of my butt but shes having 4 kids and is gonna be 40. it might sound funny because jlo is 55 and is performing better than kpop idols who are training to dance since they are born lol. maybe for ciara its not worth it, like maybe bag is not good enough (lol) 

 

 

 

 

Even in her edited music videos she seems stiff at times but it's definitely aging and having kids. For that I do give grace and I'm not as hard on her anymore.

Ageing and having kids is no excuse; look at Janet Jackson and Jennifer Lopez. Jackson is twenty years older than Ciara, and she's far from stiff in her choreography.

Ok not too much now. You don't know what health conditions Ciara may have. Idk if many people know this but Ciara fractured her foot after Basic instinct era, she was in a wheelchair for a while. I noticed that ever since something seemed off in her movement. Now having 4 kids on top of that is not easy. While I do want her to give her more movement I do feel we don't know the full story. Also Janet is kinda stiff and Jlo's recent performance did show stiffness as well. 

Theses women are not in their 20s anymore we have to accept that and be blessed with what they are offering.

We as fans were used to greatness from her all times but agreed. She is getting older and she still outperforms many artists. 

yeah no denying that. Ciara is obviously great and better than a lot of these girls 

If Ciara adds adlibs to the chorus on the remix and Megan is on it…
