New Music: Ciara - I Bet (Remix) ft. T.I.

ATL is in tha house!

Currently doing promo runs for her new single, ‘I Bet’, Ciara and her fellow ATLien T.I. present the official remix to Ci-Ci's breakup-inspired record.

Switching up the beat, Ciara gives fans and listeners an energetic tempo on the remix and sees T.I. stay true to his Southern roots on the track.

Ciara is turning up the heat with the remix to ‘I Bet’. The original can be seen on her new album ‘Jackie’ out May 4.

New Video: Ciara - I Bet

Future surely lost out on a good one, and Ciara made sure she let him know loud and clear in the video to her new single ‘I Bet’.

Thew new mom is a sexy ballerina in the new video where she shows off her impressive dance skills as she shows her ex-fiancé, singer/rapper Future exactly all that he'll be missing out on in the future.

Speaking on the new video, Ciara said:
"In this video I wanted to creatively do something different visually than what fans would expect from me. I am truly motivated and driven to tell a story and entertain at this time in my life. It all just feels like it is falling in place. I am very happy".

‘I Bet’ serves as the first official single off Ciara's sixth studio album ‘Jackie’, named after her mother and out later on this year.

Ciara and Future Welcome Baby Boy ‘Future Zahir Wilburn’

Earlier this week - singer Ciara and her fiance, rapper Future welcomed their baby boy - Future Zahir Wilburn.

After announcing her pregnancy back in January, the singer has been seen with a huge stomach doing all sorts such as crip walking, sexy fashion shoots, going to the gym and a whole lot more - that pregnant women don't usually do. Ciara made pregnancy look way too easy, like a walk in the park.

Congratulations to Ciara and Future on a healthy little boy - the baby is Ciara's first child and Future's fourth child, but their first child together. We can't wait to see the little Prince!

New Music: Ciara - Anytime ft. Future

Who would have thought ey?

Ciara calls on her fiance and father of her unborn child - Future on their brand new song ‘Anytime’. This is the first of many songs Ciara is due to release this year, but is only giving her fans a taster of what's to come with this Bonnie and Clyde type song.

Declaring her love for Future in this song - Ciara sings in the chorus of the song 

"Baby, I'll go to war for you (in this life)

Baby, I'll get the scars to prove (I'll be there anytime)"

Ciara's holding it down for her man, and Future is holding it down for his woman in this song ‘Anytime’. Listen to an in-love couple woo themselves on this track.

[Watch] - Ciara FINALLY Announces Her Pregnancy on ‘The View’ & Stops by HuffPost Live!

Congratulations are in order for Ciara and fiancé Future. After a while of speculation - Ciara announced on ‘The View’ yesterday morning her pregnancy to Future. I knew she was pregnant, but like everyone else - we was just waiting for Ciara to announce it herself.

Looking happier than ever - we see a glowing Ciara show off her baby bump - who is rumored to be at 8 months already. Instantly, Ciara began trending and was on everyone and anyone's Instagram feed with the baby bump. 

Ciara and Jenny McCarthy 

Baby or no baby. Ciara is not planning on stopping work anytime soon - she plans to tour after her album and do even much more. After making her appearance at ‘The View’, the ‘Body Party’ singer stopped by to chat with Marc Hill over at HuffPost Live about her new album, which she began recording just after Thanksgiving 2013, her Grammy Awards after party performance next month, her life changing in 2013 and she even talks about how close she was to working with her icon - Janet Jackson. Ci-Ci dishes just a little bit on her pregnancy - and calling Future's two other children's mothers her 'family'. 

Ciara is clearly in a happier place in her life - and it's good to see her so bubbly, positive and smiling. Watch ‘The View’ and ‘HuffPost Live’ both below.

Congratulations to Ciara and Future once again, on their blessing!

Ciara announcing her pregnancy with the ladies of ‘The View’. Loved Jenny McCarthy's reaction of excitement for Ci-Ci:

New Video: Ciara - I'm Out ft. Nicki Minaj

*Throws hands in the air... and shouts "we are not worthy!"*

Ciara slaaaaaays in this video from the beginning to the end! Ciara is bringing the heat in all her new music videos from "Got Me Good" to "Body Party" and now to this "I'm Out".

Before CiCi took to the stage at the BET Awards to perform last night, she debuted the video for "I'm Out" featuring Nicki Minaj. 

Ciara even gets Nicki Minaj doing a choreography with her as they're dressed in all white in a scene inspired by Michael and Janet Jacksons' hit single "Scream". From the hair to the wardrobe to the choreography of this video - everything is on point. This video is surely bound to get you excited for her new self-titled album 'Ciara' out July 9. CiCi makes the single life look brilliant in this video!

[I've already heard the album and trust me - you will NOT be disappointed!]

New Music: Ciara - Body Party (Gentlemen's Remix) ft. Ne-Yo

Another remix to "Body Party" has surfaced and this time it's from Ne-Yo with a "gentlemen's remix". This is one of the many remixes to Ciara's smash hit single - including the one featuring Future and B.o.B (listen here).

So far this is my favourite remix to "Body Party", where Ne-Yo takes it from a body party to a dinner party! Ne-Yo sings "treat you like good cooked food" and he is eating up a whole lot of sexy on his dish, leaving to have the hairs on the back of your neck standing!

"We in the zone now, don't stop!"

New Music: Ciara - Super Turnt Up

Ciara self-titled fifth studio album might just be one of her best albums yet. Her single "Body Party" is currently a fan favourite and is killing the charts, as well as "I'm Out" featuring Nicki Minaj and now Ci-Ci has added to that collection with "Super Turnt Up". 

The song which will appear on her forthcoming album, she debuted on Power 106 LA on Friday afternoon live on air. And of course Ciara's been getting wonderful feedback from it. Especially because of her rapping skills. This is not the first time that the R&B princess will rap on a song, remember "You Got Me?" 

"Ciara" will hit the shelves next month - July 9 and she will be headlining her own show in London this Friday - June 14th @ the IndigO2. 

New Music: Ciara - I'm Out ft. Nicki Minaj

Ciara's new album is probably going to be what we've been waiting from, from Ciara in a long time. Ciara has no limits for this new album and I'm excited for it to drop.

The "Body Party" singer has dropped her brand new single "I'm Out" which features Nicki Minaj. C-Squad and the Barbz have every reason to get excited for this song - it's a jam!

I'm liking this side of Ciara - her music recently has been unexpected but also hits! Ciara's self-titled album will hit the shelves on July 5.

New Music: Ciara - Body Party (Remix) ft. Future & B.o.B

I personally don't think that this song needed a remix... But I do like this upbeat version to the song though!

All in all - Ciara's latest single "Body Party" is a tune by itself and has been doing extremely well on the charts and on the radio. But now the song has a remix to it which is also produced by Mike WiLL Made-It featuring Ciara's boyfriend - Future and B.o.B - so it's an Atlanta remix.

"Body Party" remix samples Ghost Town DJ's "My Boo" heavier than it did in the original version. The video to "Body Party" is still the best video I've seen in the longest. Watch it here if you're still yet to watch it.

Ciara's fifth studio album 'Ciara' drops on July 9.

New Video: Ciara - Body Party

Okay now Ciara! *Z Snaps all over this new video!* YES Ciara! Werk now honey!

If you was sleeping on Ciara for a minute now - you better wake up! Ci-Ci's new video to 'Body Party' is here and she is werking it!

The Mike WiLL Made-It produced song was written by Ciara's boyfriend - Future and even stars Future in this new video as her love interest. The video is based on their relationship of how they met and no better two to play it than Ciara and Future. Their chemistry is so real! Aw, I love their love! Ci-Ci takes it from the dance floor to the bedroom keeping it sexy but classy. 

I loooooooooove this video - of course Ciara brings choreography, her sexiness and swag to this new video. This song has an old skool sound to it and she brings that visual to life in this 90s inspired house party video!

I'm definitely loving this whole old skool vibe from Ciara... R&B's slowly coming back. I'm excited for her album!

The video was shot by Director X in Atlanta and features cameo appearances from ATL's finest - Future, Trinidad James, Ludacris, Jazzy Pha, Stevie J, Joseline Hernandez and Mike WiLL Made-It!

Ciara's self-titled album drops on July 9. Enjoy the new video to 'Body Party' below.

Flicks: Magazine Covers Special!

Rita Ora covers Elle Magazine's "Women in Music" issue alongside the likes of Alicia Keys (which can be seen below). Ora dressed very vintage, old school Madonna with a twist of the new school in this photoshoot spread. Rita Ora spoke with Elle Magazine on music, Jay-Z, the Spice Girls and more. Read below:

On her childhood idols, the Spice Girls:

"I just remember watching them - not even meeting them - and I was completely mesmerized. It feels great to meet someone who is not human, but is."

On meeting Jay-Z in 2009 after her 'big break':

"I didn't think in a million years that I'd fly to New York to meet one of the biggest music moguls of our time."

On not allowing her label dictate her music:

"That should never be allowed! It's like somebody telling you what to sing."

On her Marchesa MTV EMA dress:

"I went up to [Marchesa designer - Georgina Chapman] and said 'Hi, I'm Rita. Nice to meet you. I need to wear your dress.' She was like, 'What dress?' They've got 10 million dresses. I said, 'Look, I have your dress as the screen saver on my phone. This red dress needs to be on my body.'"

With her new album coming out - Ciara graces the cover of UK magazine - NOTION. Ciara revealed the photo via her Instagram page - looking very high fashioned. The digital magazine issue is still yet to be released via Notion.

Wearing a Jean Paul Gaultier dress on the cover of Elle Magazine - Alicia Keys posted this photo on her Facebook page as one of the "Women in Music". Above is Rita Ora who also graces the cover. A highlight from the interview with Alicia Keys - she spoke on her approach to music, saying:

"There's not one thing about Girl on Fire that's like any of my others. I'm in a totally new state of mind... This album is like saying I am who I am, not who you want me to be."

Nice one Alicia Keys. I like that statement from you!

If it isn't Mr Joe Budden - one of the funniest slicked spoken guys on reality TV today. After having a kerfuffle with cast member - Consequence on the reunion of Love and Hip Hop: New York, Joe Budden gets suited and booted for the cover of Bleu Magazine. Budden speaks on his drug-use, Love and Hip Hop, and on being open.

On his drug use:

"I was popping Mollys all summer. When I was doing it, I hadn't slept in five days. It has a lot of side effects, a lot of side effects,"

On joining the cast of Love and Hip-Hop:

"Everything Joe Budden related is transparent; every bar, every verse is transparent. Now you're just getting a picture to go along with it. Any time I can broaden awareness, I have nothing to hide."

On being so open and candid:

"I try not live with regret, as long as you live with them you'll die with them."

Big Boi will kick off his "Shoes for Running" tour in the States today, but before that - the rapper graces the second edition of the men's issue of BE Magazine.

Big Boi is definitely one of the coolest and most down to earth artists out right now, picking out highlights from his interview - Big Boi spoke on how it feels to kick off his "shoes for running" tour as well as why he chose to start his foundation - Big Kidz.

On how it feels to kick off his "Shoes For Running" Tour:

"To play your music in front of fans that love it, it's the best feeling in the world. Just jamming out with all the walks of life."

On why he chose to begin a kids foundation:

"Easier to mold a young mind than to repair an old one..."

Wow. What a statement. Makes you think doesn't it?

Well, well, well... If it isn't Ms Olivia Pope. If you watch Scandal you'll know what I'm talking about.

Kerry Washington - as we all prepare for the season finale of season 2's Scandal, the beautiful Kerry Washington features in Fashion magazine - InStyle Magazine. Washington's spread is titled 'Notice a Pattern?' which we sure do - wearing all sorts of prints and looking very classy and showing off some legs. Kerry Washington brings Spring to life through her clothing, vibrant looks, beautiful body and smile. Peep the rest of the pics below.

Ciara: New Album Name, Reveals Album Cover/Tracklisting and New Release Date

Ciara has been allover her Instagram page making sure that we know her debut album is coming out THIS year! Over the last couple of days Ciara has been uploading lyrics and pics of the tracklisting to her new album, but the Goodies singer never released the album artwork and here it is (above). The cover came out on the UK iTunes chart over the weekend and sparked a lot of conversation about the album title.

Ciara will simply name her album 'Ciara' leaving 'One Woman Army' out in the dust - which is actually devastating because I loved that name. But I guess that's what happens when you're not exactly a "one woman army". Ciara has also changed the album release date from June 4 to July 9. (-___-)

Either way, let's just hope it's worth the worth - Body Party is a jam as it is. The video to that will be out next week! Ciara doesn't have much features but three - Nicki Minaj, her boyfriend - Future and Herself, so is that two? I don't even know. 'Sorry' and 'Got Me Good' will not appear on the album though. Check out the tracklist to 'Ciara' below.

One Woman Army: Ciara Gets Suited Up For 'Annex' Magazine

Ciara is looking like she's about her business on the cover of Annex Magazine "Diane" issue. Ciara just released her single 'Body Party,' which was written by her boyfriend - Future and produced by Mike WiLL Made-It!

In this "Diane" issue, Ciara dishes on her upcoming album 'One Woman Army' which is set for a June release, as well as her inspirations - name dropping everyone's favourite - Kendrick Lamar, read what the Superstar had to say below:

About 'One Woman Army':

"I am approaching this record in a different way than I have any other project before. While recording "One Woman Army" I have been running towards my fears and allowing myself to be vulnerable in many ways; for the first time I allowed myself to be completely open in the music making process. I can honestly say this is the most that I've ever had making an album."

On her [Ciara]'s inspirations:

"I really love listening to artists like Lana Del Ray, Kendrick Lamar, Drake just to name a few. However, I continue to find inspiration from the generation of greats such as Michael Jackson, Prince and Madonna."

I love this interview with Ci-Ci, check out the rest of her photos from the photoshoot for the magazine, which is out on newsstands on March 18; as well as the BTS photoshoot!
