♫ HOT OR NOT: CIARA’S “HIGH PRICE”
Monday, May 5, 2008

Ciara has been working on her third studio album, Fantasy Ride (out in early September), and revealed that “High Price” was slated to be the first single. The album is slated to have a more “crunk&B” sound to it and although there is not a full version out, I just wanted to post a little snippet so you guys could take a gander and see how you feel about the new vocal direction that Ciara is chosing to take. The chorus seems to be using some sort of vocal effect which has been prevalent in music as of late, but on the verses, Ciara’s going for a more “opera-inspired” sound. Color me surprised.
CIARA’S NEW SONG IS….
Check out Ciara on MySpace and log onto her official site as they make preparations to release the new album, Fantasy Ride.

I hope Ciara isn’t doing Crunk&B, because it’s old. She needs to show some growth and maturity in her music. This song don’t do it for me.

Is she trying to be an opera singer…the beat kind of reminds me of her song “Oh” on some parts
I vote NO…I can’t get jiggy with this shit. Maybe it will be better when the whole song leaks

Hmmm I’m not sure about this song.
I would have to see her perform it live first to be the judge. The notes seem pretty high

That opera shit is not wassup…..it sounds like shes straining and struggling to hit those notes…if she sounded normal this song could have possibly been hot!

She sounds odd as hell.
And it does give me “Oh”, from the beat to Ludacris being featured.

HONESTLY I CAN SEE THIS CHARTIN AT NUMBER ONE EASILY AND BEING PLAYED IN THE CLUB HARD DESPITE HOW WEIRD HER VOCALS SOUND. I LIKE IT NOT TO SING, BUT TO DANCE WHICH IS BASICALLY WHAT SHE IS ALWAYS TARGETING SO SHE DID A GOOD JOB.

After listening to this for about 3 times…I say its HOT!
It caught me off guard when i first heard it cause I was like WTF
At least she isnt going techno like alot of R&B singers these days (Usher, Beyonce, Chris Brown, Rihanna, ect.)
I can see this song doing good on the charts..

I love love love Ciara, that’s my girl. However, I’m not feeling her lead vocals. The chrous is good and Luda is great as always. The beat is hot. I’m hoping this is the only sing on the album with her singing this way. I don’t think it needs to be the 1st single either.

I agree with #3. The crunk sound is good. And considering how Ciara is always talking about how she doesn’t want to be know for the “crunk” sound I hope the crunk direction is just a rumor, not fact.

had to listen to it more than once to like it…is that a good sign. I like the operatic vocals though…sure is different…but I will have to see the video to love it. Nine times out of ten she always brings a song to life for me after I’ve seen the video for it.

I guess I need to hear the whole song before I’ll judge…
But from the sound of this snippet it is something fresh and different from what’s “IN” right now so i’ll leave it at that.

When I first listened to it, I voted no. But after listening to it a few more times, I will admit that the production is sick. It is very different. I think she may have a winner here.
Go CiCi.

Im hyped she tried something new. Just like when she tried Promise and it worked. This is gonna work out even better. And you deff gotta give her credit for not jumping on the band wagon like everyone else is. This is gonna be a HIt.

I’m definately feelin this CICI! This is BAD! Her opera-singing style is FIRE! It’ll be hard to sing this live tho..
Also, I don’t think she’s going back to her old sound, she’s just stickin to what people like to hear from her which is more of a southern-inspired hip-hop beats. LOL that sounds so diplomatic! Can u tell I’m a fan?

I am nooo hater, but Ciara is horrible. Her voice is soo obviously tampered with. Not once in this song isn’t her song revoked. I can’t wait to see her fuck this up live.

Why does it feel like there is one person saying they like it under multiple names.
My opinion: Try again! It’s bad enough that people doubt your singing skills now you tried this mess to make it worse. Dummy. I predict a bad year for her especially since she insist on doing a movie about singing.
I personally can’t see it being played alot. definitely not to #1. But I think we’re so bored with music that we will except anything.

@ # 51. I usually don’t get involved in ish like this but there always has to be an ignorant one. Just because we don’t agree w/ you we have to suck your d*ck? Are you serious? Please keep all of that foolishness out of the commenting section. Thank you!

I would like it a whole lot better if she would’ve just song it in her regular voice..But I mean I’m feeling the production and it’s definitely different..It’ll probably grow on me..

Monday, May 5, 2008 /
55. is right. You may not like it now cause its something no one has done before. Im sure once we hear the song in its entirety it’ll get better. and then when you hear it on the radio your gonna like it. and then when the video come out your gonna love it. i would bet anything that xactly whats going to happen.
