Ciara has finally dropped the visual for her new single ‘I Bet’ which is set to feature on her upcoming sixth studio album ‘Jackie’ titled after her mother.
Ahead of the video release the mother of one sat down for an interview with Australian reporter Kate Waterhouse to reveal some details on the album including her ongoing wish for a collaboration with Janet Jackson.
Tell me about your coming album.
It will come out in May and my album is called Jackie, which is my mum’s name. It’s inspired by how I can now see the world through her eyes, being a mum, and so that’s where the title came from.
What is the process for you when putting together an album?
Making an album for me, I always have a vision of what I want to do, but this time I was super specific because I feel like it’s such an important time for me, personally, professionally and musically. I am doing everything I could dream of for this album. Sonically I am so content; I had my dream team of producers who I always wanted to work with.
As a new mum releasing a new album, how have you juggled it all?
You know what, I thank God for my dad because my dad is basically my nanny, he would look after [my son] for me when I had to work. I had a system, basically had to create a routine and I was in it like a machine … It’s a whole new world being a mum because you want to be there with your son but you also have to go and make it happen. Babies ain’t cheap and babies gotta eat [laughs]!
Did you know you were going to get straight back to work?
Yes it was my plan – I’m a true businesswoman, I’m about my business and I’ve got to do what I’ve got to do.
Is there something on your bucket list?
There are many things. I hope to get more Grammys, and I want to do a world tour. I want to do a collaboration with Janet [Jackson] – I think that would be really cool. She’s queen!
While we anxiously await the album get into the new video below, which is complete with form fitted body suits, choreography and some really great slow motion shots.
