Ciara - One Woman Army (2012)

Wasn't the "problem" that Wake Up sounded like Pour It Up, which sounded like Bandz? I loved it anyway, just saying that I understood that to be the issue people had with it. This time around Future is the story rather than Mike Will Made It, and apparently that's more easily digestible, not least since there's romance involved.

"Wake Up" doesn't really sound like either of those songs imo. a bit like "Tony Montana" and a bit like "Karate Chop," but not as similar as "Pour" is to "Bandz."

Wasn't the "problem" that Wake Up sounded like Pour It Up

but it doesn't

i didn't really see anyone having issues with "wake up", no one really talked about it, but i'd guess that the ~story~ wasn't buzzy enough as you say. SIGH @ people, etc

(also if these people are the rap internet it stands to reason they prefer ciara sexy and naked to ciara swagging like a rapper)

true

ok stop

'wake up no make up' sounds like soulja boy

I dig it

"Wake Up" isn't even one of the (twelve!) songs listed in the 'recorded tracks' section of the wiki page for the album

this is what's up

haha i like how it inserts the word "pussy" into the "put your hands on my [moan]" part. "Got Me Good" might still be my favorite of her recent singles, it sounded so great with horns when she did it on the VH1 Divas thing.

this is also what's up

it is. would love to hear ciara over these insane uptempo bmore beats for original songs

al did you hear this bmor eedit of the new destiny's child?

oh i had not! schwarz is my boy, though. i was very proud of Pharrell on the orig for finally using the "Think" break instead of doing his own half-assed Bmore drums

and a dope jersey club edit of "Sorry"

really into 'body party' now, don't even particularly know why either

at first i thought ships' 'tony montana' comparison was a bit of a sour stretch but now i'm wondering if maybe future didnt put one of his mystical all-consuming romantic spells on it for real

lol you mean "Wake Up"? cause that's the one that i said sounded like "Tony Montana"

oh! my bad. i think cos i'd already read that future co-wrote bp i already had it in mind etc

hats off to another irl lol dn btw

:)

Do we know what songs are going to be One Woman Army yet? Body Party, Sorry, Got Me Good, Sweat, Wake Up No Makeup, Sophomore?

lol

I assume Future Albini (at least co-)wrote "Wake Up..." too?

yeah he did

Lex is right about "Wake Up No Make Up".

It makes me want a How To Be A Lady style effort helmed by Mike Will Made It.

it's o....k. there have been at least three better songs associated with this campaign.

she's released a 10-song track listing via instagram (?!) http://instagram.com/ciara/

1. I'm Out (feat. Nicki Minaj)
2. Sophomore
3. Body Party
4. Keep On Lookin'
5. Read My Lips
6. Where You Go (feat. Future)
7. Super Turnt Up (feat. Ciara)
8. DUI
9. Livin' It Up
10. Overdose

- YASSSS Livin' It Up and Sophomore made the cut
- but no Got Me Good or Sweat? Got Me Good wasn't that much of a flop surely?
- or Sorry, for that matter? she shoulda chucked the Future remix on
- (feat. Ciara) ?!?

Got Me Good wasn't that much of a flop surely?

her only single to date to not even make the r&b charts

No Wake Up, No Make Up? Damn...

yeah wtf @ track 7

obv just a typo... i'd wager it's another nicki feature. didn't she say in an interview that she was on two joints?

"super turnt up" ft. nicki would def have some potential

seems pretty idiotic to especially create a graphic and still include a typo like that http://instagram.com/p/YHMH5SyHvA/

the other Ciara will be her rap "persona"

someone on twitter told me that it's another future joint, so i imagine it'll turn up elsewhere as "future ft. ciara"

the other Ciara will be her rap "persona"

I WOULD ACTUALLY LOVE THIS

the album is also now self-titled

there's two Ciaras on that cover. The plot thickens...

maybe she finalized the cover photo and then went "wait, 'one woman army' doesn't quite work with that picture"

Terrified by those horrifying, Photoshop-elongated forearms

ciara feat. ciara would have been great

makes sense with the cover

lol yes

wait where's sorry, they made that song grow on me and where is it

PS i've been late to this thread but body party remix is cray

link??

think the orig body party sounds so good 2 my ears & ive played it so much that no remix could possibly improve it

yeee i wrote about that kutcorners/marvel bootleg like two weeks ago? it's great

omg it's so good on a saturday night

the kutcorners mix isn't good enough for me to like a rando fb page in order to d/l

kinda forgot about "body party", it's nowhere near as great as "got me good" or "sweat" or "sophomore" or "wake up..."

"feat ciara" = she raps on this song. it's pretty dope.

"overdose" is The EDM One, i think it might be the best song on the album

whole thing is mostly bangers, think "body party" might be the only ballad
