He will never ever, never ever love you.") It peaked my interest, but when even that song failed to catch fire, I certainly had myself convinced I had this bitch beat.īut then! That song! That video! That ear-licking! "Hot" wasn't quite the word to describe the fiery collaboration that would come to be "Love Sex Magic". But "Never Ever", the official first single from Ride, was an excellently soft, sweet and smooth track, sampling Harold Melvin's "If You Don't Know Me By Now" with a twist ("If that boy don't love you by now. The truth is, Fantasy Ride was quite the ordeal, suffering from repeated pushbacks since late '08, largely due to singles that failed to lift off- "Go Girl", featuring T-Pain, was a clip from last fall that fell so flat it failed to even make the record. But today, "Goodies" is one of the strongest hip-hop dance songs in recent history, and five years later, after two passable albums and successful singles like "1,2 Step", "Oh", "Get Up", "Promise", and "Like A Boy", she's tried again and again to convince me that she's here to stay. I thought it'd be a great single for a one-hit wonder. Because from the beginning, I had her marked as a failure.Ģ004's "Goodies" was a funky new sound that smashed into the industry, introducing the world to a fresh-faced young girl with solid dance skills and singing that was, well, mediocre at best. Ciara leaves her mark with Beauty Marks, and we just hope that she doesn’t leave us waiting too long between this album and her next one.Review Summary: A sexy, spacey rollercoaster of an album. There’s her hit “Level Up,” “Dose,” “Freak Me” featuring Tekno, “Greatest Love” and current single “Thinkin Bout You.” Although we’ve already heard half of the album prior to its release, there are still a few surprises to be had, such as “I Love Myself” with a Macklemore feature in the year 2019, and the hopeful women’s empowerment anthem “Girl Gang” featuring Kelly Rowland. In addition to the title track, Ciara includes all five previously released singles on Beauty Marks. This album is about celebrating the journey that leads you to those Beauty Mark moments.” Adversity ends up giving you wisdom and character, and persevering through all those challenges makes you so much stronger. Of the project, the artist has said, “My mantra throughout the process of recording this album was about reminding myself that the scars you get from going through life are actually your beauty marks. “If nobody’s perfect /Then all that I want is to be imperfect with you / ‘Cause you take me as I am / And I take you as you are,” CiCi sings on the chorus over stark piano.įor the rest of the album, Ciara gives us a contemporary pop vibe with a mix of uptempo dance tracks, mid-tempo grooves and a few ballads. The song “Beauty Marks” is a sweeping power ballad about the one you love finding the beauty in your flaws. The whole video just tugs at your feelings from beginning to end. While we weren’t expecting to see Ciara with her legs thrown up in the air, it is very touching to see the family bonding with their newest addition. After the nuptials are over, the clip takes us directly to the delivery room. From there, we get hallmark moments, such as her father tearing up before he walks her down the aisle and her son Future running around the church.
The video starts with Ciara and Russell at the altar, with the minister talking about the bonds of marriage. The video for “Beauty Marks” gives us an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at Ciara and Russell Wilson’s wedding and the birth of their baby girl, Sienna Princess Wilson.
