Ciara interviewed with Maxim magazine to discuss her new album and show off that toned body we’re all so envious of. See the photos below!

So what does a guy have to do to win you over?

I mean, like every girl out there, we want a guy who’s comfortable in his own skin, who lets us grow, and who challenges us. But when it comes to superficial stuff, I mean who doesn’t like a good, hard body? You don’t have to be all crazy, just in shape. And have a neck, please!

You were just in the studio finishing up your album. Give us a glimpse of that awesome life.

It’s the coolest, can’t lie. I go to the studio at, like, noon, and there’s a lot of dancing and, of course, singing. There’s a cook who whips up food, and we sit around and joke and record until the wee hours. Then we head home, get up, and do it again. I feel blessed I get to do this for a living.

The album is called Basic Instinct. Are you channeling Sharon Stone? And more important, do you own an ice pick?

I have ice cubes in my freezer. That’s about it. The album is about our basic wants and desires. But

I have to say, Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct was smart, a little shady, and she definitely had a sexy gangsta thing going on.

You’re from the ATL, a great food town. What are your guilty-pleasure chow spots?

The Varsity chili dogs and cheese fries, but they get crackin’ in your stomach! My favorite is the Waffle House’s chicken melt, hash browns, and sautéed onions. It’s far from fancy. It’s just good Southern cooking.
