“CIARA: LIVE IN CONCERT”

Ciara Plans a 20-City tour to Preview Her New Album, Ciara: The Evolution

(New York, NY – October 10, 2006) In the weeks leading up to the release of her highly anticipated sophomore album, Ciara: The Evolution (La Face/Zomba Label Group), multi-platinum R&B/Pop sensation Ciara will take the show on the road with a kinetic 16-city club tour accompanied by four major radio concert stops. Each hour-long high-energy club date will feature fan favorites, #1 singles “Goodies,” “1, 2 Step,” and “Oh,” as well as current hit “Get Up,” new single “Promise,” and other never-before-heard cuts from her new album, Ciara: The Evolution, due out December 5th.

“Previewing the new record in a small setting gives my fans an exclusive experience where they can truly hear and see exactly where I’m going with Ciara: The Evolution,” Ciara explains. “It’s about so much more than just my personal growth – it’s about the evolution of music, the evolution of dance, the evolution of fashion. I want to bring a taste of all that to the fans in a one-on-one environment to get them excited for Ciara: The Evolution.”

Fans are already excited by the soon-to-be major hit, first single “Promise.” “Promise,” written by Ciara and produced by Polow (Fergie’s “London Bridge,” Pussy Cat Dolls’ “Buttons”), will impact radio October 16^th. The video, directed by Diane Martel, will debut on BET’s Access Granted on October 25^th, which is also the star’s 21^st birthday! Alongside “Promise,” current hit “Get Up” will be included on Ciara: The Evolution.
