by Felecia Hatcher

MVRemix: I know you must have a lot of things planned for 2007 what’s your New Year’s resolution?

Ciara: I haven’t really thought about it. I’m pretty sure one of my goals for next year is to be more focused and make sure I meet my deadlines and really stay on it. I have a lot of business goals and they are possible I just have to really stay on it.

MVRemix: I’ve noticed on this album you have taken on a more sexier tone, was that all on you or did you have others influence you to take that approach?

Ciara: Honestly, I’m just being me, beginning with this album, and the title of my album I felt that it was perfect because I had evolved as an artist and a women. In this case a lot of the things you have seen me do are just natural changes, I’m just growing. Even with the “Get Up” video that was something different. Even with the “Promise” video when I was thinking about the making the first scene from my video I thought this was perfect, the track alone just makes a statement. The record is different then what people are used to hearing from me. This record does have a more mature sound, I guess you can say sexier, but honestly I’m just being me and doing what comes to me naturally.

Listening to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” seemed to influence us all at one point in some way. But amongst all the material that floats around, it truly grabbed a young girl from Atlanta, serving as one of the reasons she became inspired to create her own music.

Few of us can remember having a bank account at eighteen that rivals that of most adult professionals. In fact, at eighteen, I don’t believe I have that much exceptional experience to shower people with stories of. Definitely little in comparison to that of “Crunk & B” superstar Ciara, who states that she is in reality, a “simple” girl. A simple girl who has achieved platinum sales before being able to have a drink legally.
