Listen to Ciara’s latest offering “Paint It Black”.
Ciara, who released her latest album Jackie back in May, lends her voice to the soundtrack of Vin Diesel’s upcoming movie The Last Witch Hunter. The R&B singer shows off her vocal versatility with a cover of the classic “Paint It Black” by The Rolling Stones. Premiered by Rolling Stone , Ciara also discussed what’s next after Jackie, her great relationship with Missy Elliott, and being a fan of the legendary rock band.
Are you a fan of the Rolling Stones?
“I’ve been a fan of theirs. I wasn’t a fan to know every song of theirs, but I definitely have been a fan of the Rolling Stones, but it’s just so cool when a moment like this comes along.”

Is “Paint It Black” a song that you’ve wanted to cover for a while now?
“No, to be honest with you, it was actually a surprise for me when I got the call from Universal Publishing and Lionsgate. When they asked me to do this, I was like, ‘Absolutely. This would be an honor.’ I had never thought to cover this song. It was never on my radar to cover it, but when the opportunity came along, I was very thrilled, because I love what the producer Adrianne Gonzales did. The direction that she went in was actually a sound I’ve always wanted to play with, and it just didn’t get any better than being able to cover a Rolling Stones song. I feel like it pushes the edge and the limit for me, in reference to what people probably expect from me. So this was so many cool things in one. It was a huge honor, and then creatively I just got to really have some fun that I don’t usually do in my music.”
