Ciara, Future Pregnant Album: Talks baby gender, new album, and Beyonce comparison [VIDEO]

Singer Ciara is glowing with excitement on her pregnancy with fiancé, Future and the work done on her new album. In an interview with HuffPostLive, the "Body Party" singer admits that's he is in a happy place in her life and career after being in the music industry for almost 10 years and admires singer, Beyonce for her hard work after more than 15 years.

On her pregnancy: "It really is a blessing. It really is the most exciting time in my life. I do have a [gender] preference, but I don't want to say that either. I did have a preference before I found out what it was. I had a preference at first and when I was told what it was I felt like it's gonna be what it's supposed to be. It was definitely different [than what I thought]. My fiancé got what he wanted. I'm excited."

On her new album: "I've been recording on my album. I actually started around Thanksgiving of last year and I'm in the most comfortable creative space I could possibly be in. I actually will be giving my fans something really soon. I'm really excited about it because it's so beautiful and really sweet."

On Beyoncé: "I have a lot of respect for her. I respect any woman that works hard and gets success from the hard work that they put into it. For someone like her, she's been around for almost 20 years, if I'm not mistaken, or at least a good 15. I'm going on 10 and so when I look at women like her, if anything, you can only get inspired when you see other women like yourself striving to achieve their goals. It's great because it shows you exactly what you believe."

 She continued her praises admitting that she is in a different lane than the megastar, but appreciates her work, "I respect Beyoncé. I respect any woman that's having success in this because it's a really hard world to stand strong in, to keep on going and keep reinventing. We all do our own thing and I think that's the great thing about it. What she and I do is completely different and I feel like there's no comparison in reference to who we are as artists, which is really cool. There's a world for all of us to be successful."
