Blogcritics Goodie Bag: Ciara, Tom Baxter, Rod Stewart, Freerunner, and Mutronium

Here’s the new single “Promise” from Ciara’s highly anticipated sophomore album Ciara: The Evolution, in stores December 5, 2006. “Promise” is produced by Polow, and other producers on the album include Rodney Jerkins, will.i.am, Pharrell Williams, Lil John, and more. “When ‘Goodies’ came out, people labeled me the ‘Princess of Crunk N B,’ but that was just one song, one sound. My first album had a much bigger variety than that, and I’m taking that even further with Ciara: The Evolution,” says Ciara. “For this album, I took my inspiration from many different influences and the sound really reflects that.”

Tom Baxter makes a very welcome return following his critically acclaimed debut album, Feather And Stone, with a clutch of brand new tracks recorded live only last week put together in an EP called Live At The Amadeus. Download the song “Better” for free.
