Editor's review
Ciara's claim to fame is she's the first lady of "crunk 'n' b." If you're wondering who comes up with this stuff, in this case it's rapper Lil Jon--the man responsible for her naughty radio hit, "Goodies." If Ashanti dropped the good-girl act she'd probably sound something like Ciara does on her new single, "Promises."
Biography
The new single "Promise" from Ciara's highly anticipated sophomore album Ciara: The Evolution, in stores December 5, 2006. "Promise" is produced by Polow and other producers on the album include Rodney Jerkins, will.i.am., Pharrell Williams, Lil John and more.
"When Goodies came out, people labeled me the 'Princess of Crunk N B,' but that was just one song, one sound. My first album had a much bigger variety than that, and I'm taking that even further with Ciara: The Evolution," says Ciara. "For this album, I took my inspiration from many different influences and the sound really reflects that."
Ciara: The Evolution is the follow-up to 2004's triple-platinum Goodies, which spawned three #1 singles ("Goodies," and "1,2 Step," and "Oh") and earned Ciara four Grammy nominations (including Best New Artist) , five ASCAP Awards for Songwriting, three Teen Choice Awards, two BET Awards, two MTV Video Music Awards, Two Lady of Soul Awards, a Vibe award, and the Female Entertainer of the Year Award from the Soul Train Awards. Ciara has also proven to have the magic touch at radio, as all the songs she has been featured on – "Like You" (Bow Wow), "So What" (Field Mob), and "Lose Control" (Missy Elliot), which won the two a Grammy – quickly went Top Ten.
