Ciara album : Basic Instinct

Released : December 14, 2010

RnB diva Ciara has revealed that her upcoming fourth studio CD will be called “Basic Instinct” and will be out later this year.

After numerous pushbacks and delays, the album is now scheduled to be released on December 14, 2010. The album was executively produced by the singer alongside production and writing duo Tricky Stewart and The-Dream who worked with Ciara on her 2009 album Fantasy Ride.

Three singles preceded the album including the Ludacris-assisted lead single "Ride", which peaked within the top five on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at number three. Other two singles released include "Speechless" and "Gimmie Dat".

In September 2009 Tricky Stewart revealed what had widely been expected, that the singer had been working on her anticipated fourth studio album. At the time the project was set to be produced solely by trio of Tricky Stewart, The-Dream and Ciara herself. Stewart described the studio sessions as "feeling good" with the music "having a good vibe".

Of the record’s theme he said "this record obviously is gonna have tempo to it, but I think it’s gonna have even more substance than the last record. She dances and we always want to bring out what she does that other people don’t." Additionally the trio said that they intended the album to contain no features except for one collaboration with The-Dream, although there would features on remixes. They had wanted to release the album in 2009 but accepted that a 2010 release was more realistic.

Then in an interview with Rap-Up magazine, two songs were name dropped, "Speechless" which was the aforementioned feature with The-Dream and "Gifted". Both songs might appear on the album.

At the end of 2009 Ciara began working with Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins who had also collaborated on Fantasy Ride.

Milk Recording Studios in Atlanta confirmed that Ciara had worked with them on her new album. Miles Walker, an engineer who worked on Usher’s Raymond v. Raymond and Mary J. Blige’s Stronger with Each Tear was involved in mixing tracks for the project.
