Grammy Award winning artist Ciara stopped by Music Choice to chat with me about her “Body Party” music video (released today!), new self-titled album Ciara (out July 9th!), and lots more… you won’t want to miss the 26:30 mark where “CiCi” teaches me her famous “Ride” dance moves!

About her boyfriend, Future, and what she looks for in a man:
“I like someone who’s confident and someone who knows what they want and isn’t afraid of expressing that. I like someone who likes to have a good time. [Future] is a man — and you know what that is right away when you see it. There’s nothing like when a man is just simply being a man and shows up that way.”

About her new self-titled album:
“["Ciara"] ended up being the best title for this album in particular. The One Woman Army hasn’t gone away; I want my fans to know that. It’s now just a part of the whole movement and journey that is me. It’s a solid combination of R&B and pop. More than anything, I want you to feel something. I want you to feel authenticity, where I come from as a person.

Watch the entire Ciara Music Choice interview below:

Richie was joined by some other notable names looking to “do something” good, including model Karlie Kloss, EXTRA’s Maria Menounos, photographer and TV personality Niguel Barker, and Kat Graham (who performed a special surprise set).

The campaign, which kicked off in June at Heart of Los Angeles with Cody Simpson and Hilary Duff, continued at Osborne High School in Atlanta with Ludacris and Keri Hilson.

At midnight on June 19, pop star Justin Bieber tweeted: “My new album ‪#BELIEVE‬ is finally Out on ITUNES and IN STORES!! Enjoy OUR ALBUM!! thank u”

We, along with Bieber fans all over the world, have been waiting for the release of this album. Justin has been teasing his third album for weeks, releasing hits that feature super stars such as Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Ludacris and finally the whole album is out just two weeks after the singer’s 18th birthday. It features dance songs, ballads, a little R&B, and shows that Bieber really is maturing with his age. Justin’s manager Scooter Braun tweeted that “Believe” is already the # 1 album on iTunes and then thanked everyone for their support and said this is “just the beginning. WOW! Looks like everyone has a serious case of Bieber Fever!

Congrats Justin!

Justin Bieber has released another hit for his fans, this time featuring rapper Ludacris. “All Around the World” is the third single release from Beiber’s upcoming album “Believe” and is definitely going to be on everyone’s summer playlists. It is a catchy song featuring electronic beats that make us want to dance!

According to the TRACK LIST released in May, the album will feature other popular artists including Nicki Minaj, Drake, and Big Sean. This new style is different from what Bieber has been singing in the past, but it makes us even more excited for the album, which is set to release June 19!
