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 don’t like it!!
shits hot
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.
WTF? I was not expecting her to be singing like that at all.
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
LMAO..okay this is a joke right
ciara is really trying it with this…everyone want to be so different they just start sounding retarded…TRY AGAIN HUNNIE
It’s different, I like it.
I love this shit this is a good look…and LUda ‘s voice is sick….
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.
I like it , fuck what ya heard…
No….
I love it…we need something different..cuz music aint what it used to be…I say go for it Ciara.
Ummmmmmmmmmm. NO!
First listen I said what the hell ? But it’s hot!
It’s different and she’s not doing the typical r&b or pop (stargate) ish.
Get em Ci!!
Ciara is my girl
but is ok maybe it will grow on me.
Love it! It’s a banger!
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..
This is hot – it’s different for her.
i love ciara but i dunno, i think live it will suck cause that doesnt sound like her normal voice, theres been tweeking done, it will be a hot mess
im getting the album though shes my girl ive seen her live 5 times
WHAT THE HELL! CIARA COMIN DIFFERENT LOL
OMG, ewwwww!! I’m sorry CiCi but the vocals on this track suck! Sounds a piping hot one!
I Like it…
Shit is crazy!! It sounds fresh to me
I kinda like the music, but those operatic tones Ciara is trying to achieve made me crack up like this is a big JOKE!!!!
hot hot hot
THIS SHIT IS FIYAHHH!!!!!!
Its like opera/crunk/electro!!!!!
I bet that video is gon be WILD!!!!
HIGH PRICE is my SHIT!!!!
Right along with SUPERNATURAL!!!!
Ciara ALWAYS does it RIGHT!!!!
Fantasy Ride is gon be KILLA!!!
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.
THIS SHIT IS BANGING HOT!!! I AM SO GLAD THAT MY BABY IS COMING OUT WITH HER THIRD ALBULM, AND THIS SONG IS A GREAT WAY TO START IT OFF. THIS IS A CLUB BANGER RIGHT HERE!!! SHE HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!!
~AU VOIR~
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.
THIS IS SMASH, LISTEN TO IT TWICE AND YOU LOVE IT
AND I GET MONEY HAHA SHES SHOUTING SOMEONE OUT THERE SHE KILLS IT
I don’t know but this is different from Ciara vocally. I didn’t even know that was her for a min lol. It’s aight nothing really grabbed me but “Supernatural” was fyah!
me loves it something new thank God
Yep…………I’m feelin it, vocals have a futuristic sound, has a smooth beat.
This HOT than a bitch!
I like how shes so diverse with her music. High Price is crunk,opera and Supernatural is smooth R&B. I LOVE CIARA! I cant wait for Fantasy Ride!
not sure yet
This is like Goodies on roids. Club anthem.
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.
Not Cute. Yuck, sometimes being different IS NOT the way to go hun.
UMMM YALL LAME AS HELL…THIS RIGHT HERE IS CRACK…..AND THAT SUPERNATURAL IS DECENT TOO…CRUNK AND B AINT OLD,IT WOULD DEF B DIFFERENT THAN THESE OTHER SO CALLED R AND B ARTISTS RUNNIN TO THAT WACK ASS POP SHIT THAT (BRIAN) LIKE SO MUCH…SHE NEED TO HOLLA AT KELZ..FIND OUT WHAT HE WAS DOIN WIT AALIYAH VOCAL CORDS…THAN WE WOULD PROLLY B TALKIN BOUT CLASSIC….SHE NEED 2 KILL THAT FALSETTO…THIS IS DEF DIFFERENT AND GOOD……I FUCS WIT IT
I love ciara but ummmmm ???? ……….. ???? ………….
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.
LOve it OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG this shit is amazing…WOOOOOOOO kicks ur bodys assssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i was annoyed with her voice within seconds of the song. she sounds like she’s hurt..
ISH IS CRACK. swag is sumin serious…the girl is a young missy with her innovation.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS A STRAIGHT BANGA! AFTER I HEARD SUPERNATURAL I THOUGH IT WASNT GONNA GET BETTER BUT CIARA KNOCK THAT SHIT OUT AGAIN! THIS GIRL IS THE SHIT!
AND
#41 WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU ALWAYS HATING ON CI CI? YOU SWEAR YOU DONT LIKE HER BUT BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT ON HER SHIT WIT SOME MESS! THAT AINT A GOOD LOOK!
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.
WOW!!! ciara really can’t sing!! she sounds like an out of tune chinese bell! this is just horrible!
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.
Ugly azz Ru Paul lookin’ azz niggas, this song is the TRUTH! GO STRAIGHT TO HELL IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT! DUSTY AZZ HOEZ–SUCK MY DICK!
Hell to the no! I never really understood what the fuss was with Ciara and this confirms it. I can’t wait to see her attempt to sing this live.
These haters make me laugh. This shit is INSANE! “I got a hundred million dollar house on my earlobe”! You cant tell me aint sick! This song is BLOWIN MY MIND!
WTF is this f**kery!! I understand taking risks and all, but this song is a joke
ALL U TONE DEAF MOTHA FUKAS NEED TO QUIT!!! This sh!t is HOT! she’s bringing that new sound, and tryin somethin different. it’s always odd when u hear something like this because it HASNT BEEN DONE BEFORE. she’s a trend setter, if u aint on sit down. I LOVE IT CI CI!!!
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?
idc what none of ya’ll say…this ish is gonna pop in the club!!!!
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.
Lmfao! This is a hot mess! I hated it! I couldn’t stop laughing.
