Ciara Touts Good Love In Her "Speechless" Video

The R&B songstress Ciara has created a sexy, sultry video for "Speechless" the second single taken from her upcoming fourth studio album "Basic Instinct," which represents a return to her urban roots, and is expected to arrive in U.S. on November 30. It is written by Ciara with the help from The-Dream and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart. "Speechless" is a midtempo, R&B love song, featuring trumpet-sounding synth beats. The lyrical content of the song consists of the protagonist confesses how perfect her significant other is.
Ciara delves deeper into relationships on the heartfelt "Speechless." On this duet with The-Dream, Ciara clamors for more time with her man while celebrating the feelings she has for him. More than material love, Ciara seeks the type of relationship where commitment is more than financial. "I look forward to a person taking time to hear me out," she explains. "Spending time with me means more than anything. A bag is cool. It lasts for the moment. A shoe is cool. It lasts for the moment. But, if you spend time and you actually take a moment to hear what I say or get involved and support me, that's the best feeling in the world."
Ciara can't get enough of the man in her life in her latest video. The 'Goodies' hitmaker plays safe in the Colin Tilley-directed music video which features sillouette of her among other tame scenes. The video is creatively and originality shot, it begins with a black sillouette of Ciara which resembles the single cover artwork, and is a recurrring image used throughout the video. It crosses between this and another scene where explores the sexy side of her through the outfit, abs-revealing short t-shirt. She moves rhythmically to the music. In the video's third scene she is braced against a stone wall where she grinds to the beat of the song. This last scene is the only one shot in color.
Ciara has been laying low as of late, but for good reason. The 24-year-old ATLien relocated to the West Coast to work on her latest effort "Basic Instinct." Ciara wanted to push things further than she ever has before. "With this album I wanted to take it back to the basics and bring back the bass," says Ciara. "At the same time, I'm still showing my growth and trusting my first instinct, my basic instinct on everything - my music choices and creative choices." "Speechless" is the record with her and Dream together. The Grammy Award winning R&B/Urban Pop singer is pulling out all the stops to make this her best work yet. "You have to know that your life is in your hands," she said. "You determine your destiny."
