♫ NEW MUSIC: CIARA - “NEVER EVER”
Monday, January 5, 2009

Ciara releases her “first” single from her new album, Fantasy Ride. The new single is produced by Polow Da Don and features Young Jeezy. Even though “Go Girl” wasn’t that great of a choice for a single, “Never Again” definitely isn’t leaps and bounds above that. I appreciate the sample, but I was expecting something great, considering that Polow did produce her hugely popular first single from her last album, “Promise.”
I don’t know, I’m a little iffy about Ciara’s project. There have been a few songs that I’ve really dug (”Echo” and “I’m On”), but the thing about it is, so much material has leaked, I’m just not sure what the album is going to consist of. We’ll see. Hopefully, we’ll have a new release date for Fantasy Ride as well.

This song represents the death of the return of the 80’s. I am tired of all monotone hooks and elevator music baselines. The 80’s are considered old for a reason. Please go back to originality. Thank you for your time oh and shake and pop sucks ass too.

Ciara was never really THAT creative anyway…imo…its producers and writers who assist with her projects are who deserve the credit…or lack there of. Her voice is pretty one dimensional and there’s only so much it can do. Its either heady and light or deep/low. She needs to try songs that show off different sides of her voice…

Not feeling this at all, from a lyrical, sound, or a production standpoint. Ciara and Powlow both let me down. I say Ciara should scrap this whole “Fantasy Ride” bs and go back to the drawing board, because the only song that was good was “High Price” She has got to come harder if she wants to keep it. I don’t understand it either because I loved every song on the Evolution. SMH!!!

THIS TRACK IS HOT BY ANY MEANS….I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS EVERYBODY IS LOOKING 4, BUT I HAVE WATCHED CIARA’S CAREER FROM THE START AND THIS IS DEFINTELY ONE OF HER BEST SINGLES…..THIS TRACK IS PURE FYRE…AND ONCE AGAIN I ASK “WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING?”..GIVE THE GIRL CREDIT….

# 6, This has nothing to do with Bey, I don’t know why her name was even brought up. Ciara is Ciara, and Beyonce is Beyonce. But as for the song, its a nice song, but it is nothing special. This song will most likely get slept on just like Go Girl. But Imma still support Ci Ci, because she is very talented. I’m feeling Brian, this album go around is just not doing it for me! I was hoping the postings were true about Jive shelving this album so she could start fresh, I think thats what she needs is to start fresh and come a lil harder, because singles create buzz which creates album sales and all of her “first singles” have not been too hot.

another ms no talent here. ciara and rihanna are on the same level but at least ciara can dance. her song is very weak. I think she will flop this time

Please, let’s stop with the first crap…….this is a far different planet then that trash box of a blog site that shall remain nameless…..I digress, this Ciara song is wack. I was growing in excitement after “Go Girl” and “I’m On”, but this is just a little too weak for me. I am a fan of Ciara and I never compare her to other female chicks in the game because what Ciara brings to the table is very different, unique, and exciting, (especially if you have seen her in concert) but this doesn’t create the buzz that she is looking for. I would have liked to have seen Ciara exploding out the box, giving me something very uptempo, dancing, energy, exotic moves, etc. I would have liked to see Ciara give me more Ciara, not a lot of features and guest appearances, but expounding more on the creativity of her talent. This is her third album and I expect more and I know she has it in her to produce better, but this song doesn’t do it for me, sorry Ci-Ci.

once again…”what are yall expecting” really. dis song go hard for a slow jam and yall know it….why is it so hard 4 yall to like a song…and yeah comparisons have to fly because if beyonce releases anything you automatically love it, regardles…this track is fyre and imma stick wit dat. To me, she did the unexpected and its a good song….

This is NOT a single…. not a TERRIBLE song but not a single… But who knows, radio (and its sometimes SHALLOW listeners) may surprise us… It may catch on and take off…. but from the looks of comments on this site (as well as other sites), her “internet fans” are not really feeling it….

Im not sure about this one. It will probably grow on me eventually. I know this shouldnt be a single she should stick wit the dance tracks as singles. Her song And I didn’t do that well but Promise did just because it was a track u could dance to even though it was a slow song. I think cici know where she goin’ wit her album. Let’s hope it actually comes out!!

this shit was whack!!!!!!!!!!!!!
echo and rattla…. are pretty dope and the sound ciara fans are most familiar with coming from ciara— uptempo dance tracks
26.
WHERE YA BOSS AT?
Monday, January 5, 2009 /
As a Ciara fan i can say when i first heard this i was VERY dissapointed..
i mean i love ciara for her high energy dance tracks not saying that she
cant deliver on slower songs (cuz she can) but its not wat she does BEST…
however after a couple listens i kinda like this song.. its cute and its catchy…
i dont know how well it will do on the charts but im sure we will see soon
i really hope ci’s next single is a uptempo

I had the speaker up real loud,and I guess that was polow at the beginning;It scared the crap out of me. Anyway, I like the end of the song.

ciara brush the diva remix haters off lol i like how she aint just doin’ somethin’ you expect from her, which ya’ll thought was an uptempo track. this song is a slow jam everyone needs to listen to and it gives a good message. can’t wait to see what the video is gonna be like!!!

Ciara is pure fire. For the ones who out here hatin need to quit it on some real shit. You all try to put her down, and put her out there like she has no talent. She has a lot of talent. She dances, and can defintiely sing. No she’s not a Beyonce, so Beyonce’s name should have never been brought up, she’s just Ciara. This album is going to be greatness. The other songs that leaked (well at least most of them but like 3) are for her mixtape anyway. So the best has yet to be heard, but on another note “Never, Ever” is pure greatness; it’s not total single material, but has a chance of being in the top 10’s..so get out of here hataZ!
Peace

Thats a hot picture of her.
I’m 50/50 on the song. I mean I like some parts of it, like the bridge and Jeezy’s verse. The chorus though is annoyingly repetitive.

WHAT THEE HELL WAS THAT?
Ciara’s career is officially over. This song is boring as hell and just straight garbage. LMAO @ her trying to promote this single at the end of Diva, in which she trashed also. “Look out for my new single Never Ever”. Just stop Ciara, if this aint a flop than IDK what is.

You guys are a little too hard on Ciara. Her new tracks are on constant rotation on my Ipod. The track “Go Girl” is hot, the video for that is crazy.
I dont understand why everybody is giving her such a hard time.
Did anyone hear the track “Explode” or “Echo”, those are quality tracks.
Stop comparing her to Beyonce, let the girl live.
Keep your head up Ciara, I know its not easy….

Wow, I was hoping for more. This song is weak, and shows how limited her vocals are. I’ve bought her previous albums and I must say that i’m truly not happy with this song at all. She needs to go back and rework this project and give her fans something they can really sing their teeth into, because this trash she is putting out is not worth my money at all. Sorry CiCi!!!!!!
I need real R&B. I’m waiting for Monica’s album to hit!

iI know people now who swear UP and DOWN Single Ladies is GARBAGE! But shoot its #1 on charts and for some more weeks to come and they say same about DIVA! This song is just as good as them so I see this as a hit!
57.
farah
Monday, January 5, 2009 /
We know she going to kill the dance moves she did that in Go Girl but know one cared about that single.
I Don’t know about this song I’m not saying it will grow on me because it won’t I like Go Girl I wished it would sky rocket on the charts but it didn’t I don’t think this will either. Polow is a good producer but I think he should give her another beat. I maybe this will be a hit for her I don’t know. Ciara I think should comeback in the summer thats her best bet. or stick to old formula and you guys know what that is lol

ok radio song…but half her album has leaked and nothing spectacular. i am wondering what is left on the album.i think we have been spoiled by her previous music. uptempo music. so far nothing but love songs except go girl. her fans will support her. i am not a fan of the new ciara, i liked the old one better, but she has to do what pleases her. good luck .

I kinda of wish Ciara would have took the theme of her album “fantasy ride” literal with beats and lyrical content actually reflecting a world of fantasy. I kinda wish she would’ve pushed the limit with this latest album……..ahhh
This song is cute; it took a million listens for it to grow on me though lol. However, this song doesn’t really suggest a fantasy ride which is supposed to be the theme of her album?!!!! I don’t know……I’m still and will always be a ciara stan though

I don’t know why people are acting like this is the first slower song Ciara released. What was “Promise”? Wasn’t that a hit? Yes. I like Go Girl better but this song is cool. Anybody that heard her first album know there are a lot of slow songs on there.
Ciara is on her third album, why keep doing the same dance songs all the time?
To those saying the whole album or half the album leaked…how do you know how many songs she recorded for the album? For all we know none of the songs that leaked will make the album.

Ciara need to regroup and try to do songs that really fit her.
