Music Biz:
Ciara's Basic Instinct Album On Its Way!
After Ciara's 2009 album "Fantasy Ride" failed to meet expectations -- selling a meager 195,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan -- following the success of 2006's "Ciara: The Evolution," which sold 1.3 million copies, and her "Goodies" debut, which sold 2.7 million -- many counted her out.

But with the help of lead single "Ride" from "Basic Instincts," her fourth studio album due Oct. 5 on Jive Records, the R&B singer/dancer/actress is back with a vengeance.

The accompanying video, directed by Diane Martel, is just as explicit as the lyrics. The clip features Ciara provocatively gliding and bouncing atop a mechanical bull while wearing a wet T-shirt, among other highly sexualized visuals -- so much so that BET Networks banned the video from its channel.

"Ride" isn't the only promising track gleaned from "Basic Instinct" so far; "Gimme Dat," a more uptempo but equally brash song was released as a buzz track. "I've been gone for too long, now it's time I take it back," she confidently opens the song over a lively, bass-driven dance beat. Additionally, a remix to "Ride," featuring OutKast rapper André 3000, was released on the Internet.

While Ciara's album was pushed back a number of times and an official second single hasn't been released yet, her recent chart successes have many rooting for her and the future of her music career. "I am grateful to work with such a talented artist as Ciara," the-Dream tells Billboard. "I've never doubted her talents or her will to succeed."

Quick's Catch Up Interview

He finds Lil' Mama annoying. He wouldn't discuss how he designed his blog's banner. He was afraid I was going to take his idea. Not! He feels that Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon marriage is "staged". Guess what? A lot of people do. Who am I talking about? One of my good friends in the blogging community is Quick. I like to refer to him as Quickster. He runs one of the most popular blogs on the net, "Quick's Catch Up". Anyway I interviewed Quick last year and I allowed my readers (and visitors) to get to know him. Now I have taken the liberty of conducting a brand-new interview with Quick. I came up with this idea to basically see what has changed within' a year period from when I originally interviewed Quick. Name:LaBrandon aka Quick Age: 21 Location/Hometown: Gadsden, Alabama (a hour north of Birmingham, AL) Interview Date: 5/30/2008 Lamar: For those that do not know, how did you come up with the name "Quick's Catch Up"? Quick: Well....
