Superstar Ciara Releases Self-Titled Album Today

Ciara's self-titled new album is released today, July 9th. Ciara's legions of fans had a week-long opportunity to hear the new album in its entirety via an exclusive stream on iTunes (at www.iTunes.com/Ciara).

With the debut of the video for her most recent single "I'm Out," ft. Nicki Minaj (http://bit.ly/1cFtAyf) and an explosive performance at the BET Awards (http://bet.us/11YnxA2), Ciara turned up the heat even higher. And, during the first two weeks of July, it's going to get scorching.

Today, Ciara will also release two new video snippets from a series of five that she created from five different tracks off of the album with the help of director Hannah Lux Davis. "I did video snippets of many of the songs on the album for my fans so they can have the best experience of my music possible," explains Ciara. "I wanted my fans to see the music for the first time while they are also hearing it."

In addition, Ciara's performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live and appearance on Chelsea Lately will air tonight. Starting on July 8 th, Ciara will begin the first of five appearances airing Monday-Friday on BET's 106 & Park. She'll continue the blitz throughout the week with performances on Good Morning America, Live with Kelly and Michael and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Ciara's been rolling full-steam since earlier this spring. Her single "Body Party," earned rave reviews and continues to dominate the airwaves, this week landing in the #1 position on the Urban Mainstream airplay charts and crossing over to mainstream Top 40 radio on July 22nd. The video has had over 15 million impressions since its release last month.

Ciara's already a superstar she's sold more than seven million albums but with 'Ciara' she's taking it to a whole new level. As she said recently, "This album goes beyond my music. It's a new journey with me."
