Ciara's "Ride" May Be Just A "Fantasy"


Ciara was to release her third studio album, "Fantasy Ride" in October 2008, than December 2008, than March 2009, than again April 7, 2009. Well it seems Zomba is not quite ready to release it to the public just yet.

Ciara's "Fantasy Ride" has been pushed back once again from April 7 to May 19, 2009, a whole 7 weeks later. I wonder if the album will ever actually be released. Instead of pushing it back they should have released it in November 2008 and if it bombed than have her start working on another album. Obviously the tracks that have been released such as "High Price," "Go Girl" and "Never Ever" are not that great so why would her fans want the entire album.

I am still confused as to why they decided to release "Love, Sex. Magic" as a single when they have the song "Echo" which is 10 times better than any of the tracks I've heard. I guess because "Love, Sex, Magic" features Justin Timberlake on the duet and usually anything he touches goes Top 10.

Zomba released a statement saying that "Fantasy Ride" will have a worldwide release date of May 19, 2009 for the entire world and will be coming out that day and there is no other option. We will see. At least with other artists such as Missy Elliott and Timbaland they have pushed their albums back and said "2009" and did not give a release date. That is the smart option because than the fans don't get angry because the album keeps getting pushed back.
