» Ciara - Fantasy Ride

After several months of delay Ciara's third album is finally here! If you are a committed Ciara lover, this album is definitely for you, yet in my opinion, the album doesn't show the best of her ability.

Ciara has a mixed variety of songs and gives more of a soulful crunk and sensual feeling to the album, but there are too many ups and downs in the album that they could have done either with or without. Just when you think a song is going to get better it takes a wrong turning. I feel that it just did not work well and the album does not live up to the hype which surrounds it. She collaborated with Justin Timberlake Love and Sexy Magic, Missy Elliot Work, Ludacris in High price, Chris Brown in Turntables, Young Jeezy in Never ever and the Dream Lover's thing, some of these collaborations were not needed; it just made the song worse.

I quite liked Never ever featuring Young Jeezy. The video definitely supports the song. The album did not do anything for her vocals it just suppressed them. It was as if she was trying out different tones in each song.

I cannot see any growth in this being her third album, she needs to go back to her basics because I feel she has experimented with too many new things on this album and it has just has not worked for her. I feel she is following with the trend of ‘sex sells' in the current music industry. If you listen to her, you can see similarities to Lady Gaga and Beyonce's sexual style.

I think if it was not for her sexed up music videos the album itself would not be as popular.
