It's never too late to like any album!
I hope you enjoy this, it's an album with alot of heavy bass!

The 'big fat bass' ?

I'll give this album a try.

My Japanese Edition just shipped peeps! 8-)

I ordered the one with the bonus DVD, though my 2 fave videos are not on there; Work and Gimme Dat!

But a bit of advise for Ci:
- get over the matrix move. You have moves in you, so let's evolve
- your sound needs to become a bit more mature. Ride was perfect; Gimme Dat was a step back. And that was exacerbated by the label not supporting it and you using your own cash to pay for the video

I recently discovered Cool On You and WOW!!! Its such a 90's throwback sound for me! I love it! Who produced it?

And again, it breaks my heart to see what Ci's career is going through. Such an injustice! Without a doubt, a handful of artists bring something unique to the music industry (and that excludes singing, cause everyone thinks they can sing). Ci, is most certainly one of the gifted few!!!

I'm so envious! I'm still waiting if they will have that edition here, somehow, but I guess there won't be any CD+DVD edition available here.

My album arrived yesterday! Love it!!! Such a hot CD! Pity there's a label/artist squabble! Boo!
Awesome album! And the bonus DVD is so worth the money even though Oh and Work are not on there!!! Whatever!!!

Highly recommended!!!

Thanks pre + GetBack!

I hate when they deliberately leave off videos - if it had 'em all, it'd be worth getting. That's Right!!!

Totally agree buddy! Half hearted releases!
From what I recall, the following videos are missing:
- Oh feat. Ludacris
- And I
- That's Right feat. Lil Jon
- Work feat. Missy Elliott
- Speechless
- Gimme Dat

That's a lot of missing videos!!! But surprisingly, they included Go Girl!!!

This album is so worth it!!! I'm loving it!!! Though it could have smashed the charts if the label promoted it if they really wanted to. Awesome potential!

She left out some of her best videos! :-?

Oh
That's Right
Work
Gimmie Dat

^All great.

I think this would have helped somehow in the sales if this CD+DVD version was released worldwide!

This album had really potential, with a slightly altered tracklist and support of her label she could ahve done pretty decent

by **emilhot** » Sat May 21, 2011 10:53 am

I have been waiting for Gifted and it's HOT!

Too Hood is okay

by **HBIC** » Sat May 21, 2011 2:01 pm

^^ Yeaaah! That was one of Basic Instinct's best songs! 8-)

Heavy Rotation woul've made a great single had she been in a better position career-wise, at the time.

Such a great, laid-back jam.

LOVE IT the bass is redonkulous in it. Reminds me of a modern Janet Jackson song.

Don't think it would have done much. Jive was done with her.

Yeah, I love "Heavy Rotation". It's such a feel-good song.

by **shake_yo_ass** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 9:45 pm

Whats shes doing these days is really good.

shes being SEEN and thats so important to stay relevant these days.

I remember before Fantasy ride came out she wasnt anywhere.....and the album flopped.

Im glad she has learned having a public persona and recognition is just as important as the music and the hot videos.

I read this article and was so HAPPY!

Agree with you guys on Heavy Rotation!

It just appeared on my shuffle, and just as therealest says, it's a feel good song. I imagined how it would be if it came on the radio, the positive energy is so smooth! Love it.

However. Girls Get Your Money would've been another big urban hit if released properly after Ride, in my opinion.
