Ciara's Third Album Has Some Goodies

After taking two years off since her sophomore album Ciara: The Evolution, Ciara is back in the studio working on her newest release Fantasy Ride. The title itself explores an innovative process Ciara has taken in developing her latest project, in where she plans to have three separate discs, each with different themes.

The first disc, Groove City, will provide slower songs with intimacy in mind. On Crunktown, Ciara has expressed the vibe as more club-conscious to the former. On the last disc, entitled Kingdom Of Dance, she will feature up-tempo records that give her more creative freedom. All together, the album itself will be between 15-18 tracks long.

Along with her albums tentative fall release, Ciara will also be making her theater debut in the off-Broadway now-turned movie Mama I Want To Sing! Co-starring alongside Lynn Whitfield and Patti LaBelle, Ciara plays the character Amara Winter, a young aspiring singer who finds herself split between the gospel of her family and the success of mainstream celeb-life. The movie hits theaters October 10th through 20th Century Fox.

Fantasy Ride is looking at a September release on Jive Records.
