Music Video Provided by VIDEOCODEARENA.COM Take the best songwriters and the best singers, add the most exciting performers and the best all around personalities, throw in the hottest looks and the sexiest smiles --- mix them all together and the finished product would probably look and sound a lot like Ciara.The 18-year-old beauty from Atlanta is the latest multi-talented scene-stealer to nudge her way to center stage with attention-grabbing vocals, irresistible songwriting and killer dance moves.The Austin, Texas native a military brat has lived in Germany, New York, California, Arizona and Nevada moved to Atlanta as a child and, since that time, has found herself in the mix with some of the citys biggest and brightest producers, among them Jazze Pha -- who signed Ciara to his Sho Nuff label after working with her for a mere five days -- and his royal crunkness Lil Jon, who produced the singers lead single, the Crunk & B cautionary wrist-slapper Goodies.Dubbed as the First Lady of Crunk & B, Ciara is only the second artist (the first was Usher with his hit single Yeah) to release a Crunk & B song. Says Lil Jon of the newly-formed genre, Crunk & B songs are R&B songs that get you crunk. They make you wanna wild out. [Goodies] is a female empowerment record. The female has the power. The female is in control on this song. This is one of those records for the ladies.Im so happy I wrote Goodies, Ciara enthuses. I pray everybody gets it the way theyre supposed to. In the hook, Ciara warns, If youre looking for the goodies keep on looking cause they stay in the jar. I think we all run across this problem, she explains. A guy thinks youre gonna be with him because hes got the iced out chain, hes popular and all that. But that aint it. That aint gonna make me give you my number and thats definitely not gonna make me go home with you. Its the truth.Jon says he was impressed by Ciaras approach to the song, which she co-wrote with Yeah songwriter Sean Garrett. She did an excellent job on it, says Jon. With this record, its the way she rides over the track, the way she freaks the beat and the stuff that she says to connect her with other women. Shes saying stuff that women can relate to. Guys are always trying to get some from a girl and shes like you cant have it. Thats what makes her stand out and this is one of those records with that undeniable energy where as soon as the beat comes on it catches you and makes you move. You cant sit still when that song comes on. Crunk music, you cant fake because its all about the energy. Its gotta be real.And Ciara is as real as they come. Her self-titled Sho Nuff/LaFace/Zomba Label Group debut is a heaping dose of real life issues conveyed through everyday language and extraordinary production and vocal delivery. The album is a complete work of art and a masterful mixture of messages for the young and not so young.On Thugstyle, a song she wrote with songwriter Johnta Austin (Toni Braxton, Aaliyah) Ciara displays her true round the way girl nature. Its kinda how a guy would talk to a female, always spittin game, she explains. To me, its a little slick. Its just a fun record. Everyone loves to sing along with it.Looking at You and Pick up the Phone with their groove-heavy tracks and sassy vocals, are signature Ciara, who says the latter, written and produced by Austin and Jazze Pha, talks about something that everybody goes through. I love this record because its so real. I say, You know it would be nice if you could call somebody and let somebody know that youre alright.I know you see me on the caller I.D. so pick up the p-h-o-n-e.The slow and sweet And I, which Ciara did with producer Adonis, is about loving someone for who they are and not what they have. And Ooh Baby, written by Sean Garrett and Keri Hilson (Reuben Studdard, 3LW) is about good old-fashioned infatuation. Im just really into this guy, Ciara explains, in character. I consider myself a round-the-way girl, down to earth and basically the kind of guy I like is like this guy who pulls up in the F-150 pickup with the crazy banging system. Hes a round-the-way dude, kinda hood. But Im like really into him.With its easy-to-relate-to subject matter, the album is listener-friendly and accessible to anyone who knows even the slightest bit about keeping it real. The songs are very catchy, says Ciara. Theyre for all demographics, all age ranges.Theyre not as personal as I want to be. Id rather be more personal on the second album, once I grow a little more.Considering the short time that shes been in the music business about three years Ciara has grown plenty. She admits that shes a bit more mature than the average teenager. Throughout life Ive experienced a lot more than the typical 18 year old has. And being in this industry makes you develop more quickly than a typical child would. You mature faster. But much of Ciaras growth and maturity come from her determination to pursue her dreams. I remember watching Destinys Child perform on TV one day. Thats when I made up my mind: Hey I wanna do this. I watched my peers around me and they were worried about whos wearing what, going to school, trying to talk to somebody and I was like Im trying to be somebody. What can I do to get there as soon as possible?Ciara set her sights on her dream and went after it. I wrote down on paper that I had a goal to be a professional singer and I wanna be there soon.I had to sacrifice a lotta things and I think that was the key thing to get me there. I cut out going to the movies, I cut out hanging with my friends, I actually told some of my friends This month were not gonna hang out or talk on the phone. I dont have too many friends anyway less is better for me. I cut out the boyfriend actually I had my heart broken so I was really like, Im bout to do this. Im bout to be on top.From there, things moved swiftly: She joined a girl group, left the group to go solo, nabbed a publishing deal and eventually hooked up with Jazze Pha, whom she refers to as her music soul mate. God really put him in my life for a reason, she says. Our vibe is incredible.And now Ciara is ready to share her vibe with the rest of the world, but Its not just about penning clever lyrics and singing and dancing to a banging track, she says. My goal is to deliver a positive message and let people know theyre not the only one going through things.Ive been blessed to be able to counsel my peers. Im here to deliver a message and I think the impression that you make is very important. I dont wanna write records just to write. I wanna have a message to everything that I write. That gives you longevity.
