Ciara’s Next Single To Be “Turn It Up” ft. Usher
- ThatGrapeJuice.net
‘Basic Instinct’ may have been a chart disaster, however that isn’t stopping a certain Ciara from pressing on. For, according to a reliable source, the R&B star and her label Jive are set to release another single from the project next month.
The uptempo banger, which is already in heavy rotation on UK radio, is reportedly set to have its accompanying video shot later this month, with dance rehearsals having already commenced before Christmas.
Granted things can and often do change, ‘Turn It Up’ is -as at writing- ‘Basic Instinct’s’ next single offering. A fact Ciara has been alluding to for the better part of this week on Twitter.
Given the LP’s sales, the fact another single is being lifted from it is as sure a sign as any that there is more than meets the eye regarding this whole ‘Basic Instinct’ episode. Scratch that, we know there’s more to the story – yet aren’t at liberty to elaborate. If only…
Still, this has to be the smartest move yet when it comes to the handling of the project. For, beyond being the album’s best song next to ‘Ride’, and featuring the unstoppable Usher, ‘Turn It Up’ is a solid indicator of the type of music Ciara should be making at this point – Pop with R&B sensibilities. Whether it was her or the label pushing this ‘back to my roots’ slant, it’s hella ironic that an outright Pop cut is not only the track most are feeling, yet also her biggest hope of scoring that oh-so-needed-hit. Here’s hoping all pans out well for the immensely talented, yet badly handled Ms. Harris.
