J.Que, record producer and songwriter, who is also part of The Cluch (Like a Boy), shared new photo of CiCi on his Instagram profile: “Caught up @Ciara… #ATLiensInLA”. It looks like they were in the studio, but we don’t know if they were recording, listening new Ciara’s songs or just hanging out. I decided to post this picture because it’s always great to see our beautiful girl! :)

Also Luis Navarro, Manager/A&R For Epic Records, tweeted about CiCi:

@DaEpicLuis
In the studio with my girl @ciara cooking some new hotness up..nobody works as hard as her! @EpicRecords #WESOEPIC #LATENIGHTGRIND

Harvey Mason, Jr., music producer who worked with CiCi on the new album, answered questions about new Ciara song “One Woman Army” on his twitter page:

@CR4WLFC did you produce one woman army? and if so is it a dance song?
We did produce that song. Hopefully u will hear it soon.
is there anything you can tell us about the song? is it uptempo? pop? possible single? ANYthing please.
Sorry. You will have to wait to hear it. I think u will like it.
@Only_Theo I heard One Woman Army may be the first single.! Is it as amazing as I think it is?
It’s completely amazing in my opinion. Nothin on the radio like it.
@_TeamCIARA did you produce in ballads or midtempo records with ciara? i love your ballads and mids too! :)
Yes.

The song is co-written by Ali Tamposi and Livvi Franc. Ali talked about it in her interview with BMI.com. We posted it here.

CSQUAD’s clearly doing great job in getting new information about the next album. This time they found out that CiCi will meet legendary songwriter Diane Warren in the studio in next week. She wrote on her twitter:

@TeamCSQUAD she doesn’t have patient fans!:O) She’s supposed to come in nxt wk.
@TeamCSQUAD I don’t have much patience eithe haha no judgement

It’s been a while since Ciara started recording her fifth album. Her fans already are so impatient about new music. Because CiCi keeps everything hush hush, some of her fans keep tweeting producers and people she worked with asking them for some information. Look what they wrote:

Harvey Mason, Jr.

@TeamCSQUAD It was amazing. She is so talented and such a hard worker. We had a great time creating w her.
@DiaraSoPretty She still has her roots in R&B but has stretched to make a big, widely accessible album. It’s a combination of pop & RnB
@DiaraSoPretty I think this will be her biggest album. It’s an amazing body of work!
@FckYeahCiara Our tracks were a combination of pop & R&B. I bit of both but all sounding very fresh and consistent. (I hope)

@HarveyMasonjr I can’t wait to hear your tracks with Ciara. Seems like it (the album) will be more Pop tinged than the others, right?
@Only_Theo I’d say yes.

Lisa Ellis

@DiaraSoPretty There is no question that the music is pure growth and she is razor focused! (Cc: @ciara)
@HarveyMasonjr Harvey, your writing and production is on fire… Can not wait to make history for our girl! Bravo! #art #music

We can’t be more excited!

The producer upload photo with CiCi on his Instagram: “Me in Cici Makin magic in the studio”. Last time these two were in the studio together was at the end of January, we posted about it here.

22-year-old songwriter Ali Tamposi, who wrote for Kelly Clarkson (“What Doesn’t Kill You (Stronger)”) and Beyonce (Save The Hero), talked about working with Ciara in her latest interview with BMI.com. She also revealed new song title “One-Woman Army”. Yesterday, she tweeted a photo (on the left; click to enlarge) from the studio: “Killer 3 weeks with my lovely ladies @livvifranc and @ciara and of course the unbelievable underdogs hiiyah“.

You’re a full-time songwriter these days. What’s life like?
Honestly, I really can’t even believe that this is a real job. Today I’m going to the beach because my session doesn’t start ’til six. But there are weeks when it gets really intense. I usually try to take Sundays off but there are weeks when Sunday comes that I’m a wreck. And then there are things that are mellow and cool and easy. Like right now I’m working on a Ciara album, and she’s been great. It’s Livvi Franc and I who are doing most of the writing for it, and it’s been really cool and laid back so that’s been fun. There’s a lot of angst and edge in [Ciara’s] music and we’ve tried to be really conceptual and write things that haven’t been done before and real strong women empowerment songs. This what I’ve been really wanting to do: Focus on one project. So we’ve been doing that the last few weeks now.

Is there a topic you haven’t covered in a song but want to?
I really wanted to use, for years, the title “One-Woman Army,” and I just used it with Ciara. I had it initially as “One-Man Army,” and I changed it and it’s [about] a strong, really independent woman that if you’re going to be a part of her life you have to be strong, a fighter, a solider. It’s a really strong song. We’re working on that right now.

Here you can read full interview.

It’s been a while since Ciara started recording her #5 album. When it seems, that we gonna get the release date, CiCi is still in the studio working hard! Today she was making music with Harvey Mason, Jr. and Damon Thomas known as The Underdogs (their latest work is “Turn Up The Music” by Chris Brown). Ciara sent a photo via twitter with the duo (you can see it above) and wrote “N DA STUDIO WIT DA BOYZ..@harveymasonjr & Damon! The ENERGY is CCCRRAAZZY!”. She also was in the studio yesterday.
