SOHH reports:
R&B singer Ciara has confirmed the authenticity behind a recent letter directed toward Jive Records describing her frustrations on the label and aim to be released.
While not delving too many details, CiCi did say the letter was also an eye-opener for her fans as well.
"You know what, I think the best thing for me to say is that that letter was from, you know, my heart, it comes from a real place and it was really about me talking to my fans and letting them know where I am and, you know, being real and honest," CiCi explained in an interview. "That was my reason for writing it and I guess it's better for me to take the letter for what it is and I don't want to say too much more right now but it really, again, was from a real place and I just wanted to say what I felt. And God-willing, I believe everything is going to work itself out. And fall into place the way it's supposed to. So right now I'm just enjoying myself, still working hard, it never changes. And I'll just be patient and let the chips fall into place the way they're supposed to."
In a recent interview, the hitmaker explained why record sales do not always determine an artist's longevity in music.
"Even though my last album didn't do as well as my previous ones, I was still able to go out and make money and tour," Ciara said in an interview. "Every day is not always the perfect day. Artists that I have loved and admired, who have had a long career, have not had every record or song or video that was always the right choice. Selling records are becoming smaller fraction of branding and building a long-lasting career. You can sell a lot of records, but can you tour? You can sell records, but where does it go beyond that? That's a part of building a brand for yourself. If you can walk away from your career and are successful touring, you'll always be straight. Artists like Madonna have been doing it for years. She may put out one single, do a tour and gross over $200 million."
