Ciara & Future's Romantic Collaboration "Anytime" Surfaces
UPDATE (2/3): After a live premiere at the GRAMMY's official after party, Ciara and Future's "Anytime" has surfaced online. Listen to the R&B couple croon together in a high-quality studio version of the romantic joint. Reports indicate the song was co-produced by Boi-1da, who's worked with Eminem, Drake, Nicki Minaj and other hip-hop heavyweights. No indication whether the track is the lead single off Ciara's upcoming sixth album.
Original Story (1/27): After proudly displaying her baby bump on the GRAMMY red carpet, Ciara debuted a new, heartfelt song at the ceremony's official after party.
"I'm working on my new album now. It's about my fans" the pregnant singer told the audience. "The reason why I'm here and why I stand today is because of my fans. I'm so aware of that and I'm so, so thankful. I want to take this moment to dedicate this song to you guys."
You can watch the dedication in the video above. As for the song itself, "Anytime" features Future, Ci's fiancee, and his signature Auto-Tune croon over a gorgeous production of electric guitars, synth-y violins and booming bass. It also features Ciara cooing lovey-dovey lyrics like, "Baby I'll give the stars to prove I'll be there anytime / Anytime that you need, anytime that you call / Anytime that you fall."
An engagement, a baby and banging new music? Looks like 2014 is going to be a big one for our girl CiCi.
