Ciara - CiCI (EP) / Chris Brown collab + 10 buzz singles

[POP!]

She's looking amazing recently. Album is apparently complete and she just shot the video for first single "Jump"

 

[POP!]

This is out - it's no "Body Party" or "Thinking Bout You" but she somehow convinced the label for a relatively high budget video

Yeah was excited to see this on the playlist yesterday and was disappointed with it. Thinking Bout You remains one of my favourite R&B pop songs of the past few years.

Thinking Bout You was a great pop song, but not a great Ciara lead single. she does a specific thing well and I think nobody is really here for her candy-sweet pop moments (hence why it bombed).

Jump is Work pt. 5 and it slaps.

 

[POP!]

"Better Thangs"

 

[POP!]

Another buzz track

"Da Girls"

 

[POP!]

Well the budget from the last two buzz singles is gone

 

[Funky]

I mean would you put budget behind that song?

 

[POP!]

She ditched all the buzz singles and released an EP today.

 

[Funky]

I hate myself for liking that Chris Brown collab. But it's good.

Are the others worth listening to?

 

[POP!]

Nothing stuck out for me on the first listen aside from Chris Brown collab. But I'd give it another whirl; it's only 20 minutes!

how does Big Freedia keep getting booked?
