Album Description
Available in:
Fantasy Ride is the third studio album by American recording artist Ciara, first released on May 3, 2009, by RCA Records and LaFace Records. The album was recorded between 2007 and 2009. Ciara was executive producer on the album along with co-executive Mark Pittsand, Ciara worked with several record producers, including Blac Elvis, Benny Blanco, Blade, Jasper Cameron, The Clutch, Darkchild, Danja, Dr. Luke, Jason Nevins, Jim Beanz, Los da Maestro, Ne-Yo, Osinachi Nwaneri, Polow da Don, The-Dream, Tricky Stewart, Justin Timberlake, T-Pain. The album featured several guest vocalists, including Justin Timberlake, Ludacris, Chris Brown, Young Jeezy, The-Dream, Missy Elliott.
The album combines R&B and hip hop sounds from her previous albums along with a new pop and dance direction. Fantasy Ride received generally mixed reviews from music critics, who complimented its slow jams and the club tracks, and Ciara's vocal performances, with some critics calling it "a consistently sexy listen" with other critics calling it "Ciara's smoothest ride ever." However, some critics found the album to be a "dud" and others saying "Ciara seems to go almost unnoticed.
The album debuted at number three on US Billboard 200, with sales of 81,000. Fantasy Ride beacme Ciara's third consecutive album to debut within the top three on that chart, making her only the fourth female artist to do so during this decade. As of 2 August 2010, the album has sold 195,000 copies in the US failing to match the success of previous albums Goodies (2.7 Million copies) and Ciara: The Evolution (1.3 Million copies).
The album has spawned three commercial singles: the US R&B top ten "Never Ever" with Young Jeezy, worldwide hit "Love Sex Magic" with Justin Timberlake, and "Work" with Missy Elliott, which only reached top 60 on international charts. It also spawned one US radio single "Like A Surgeon". A compilation album titled Fantasy Ride: The Mini Collection was released in late July, the album also garnered numerous accolades including one nomination at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, and one nomination at the 52nd Grammy Awards.
User Album Review
When listing great pop stars of the 2000s, it's more than likely that Ciara will be unfairly forgotten. Yet from the dirty bass of original hits Goodies and 1 2 Step to the effortlessly elegant Like A Boy she's proven that she's a force to be reckoned with. Still only 23, Fantasy Ride is her much-anticipated third album. After a lengthy delay by her label, it's a record that's been jam packed full of the right writers, producers and collaborators from Darkchild to Ludacris to Missy Elliott to Dr Luke. The question is, though, was it really worth the wait?
Love Sex Magic, a sizzling collaboration with Justin Timbalake was the perfect song to relaunch Ciara to the post-Timbaland explosion marketplace. But despite its crunchy bassline and star turn, it almost feels like a song Rihanna or Nelly Furtado turned down. Much more convincing is the second Justin scribed track - the jerky G is for Girl. Reminiscent of some latter day Destiny's Child, its grunting bassine and eastern vibe combined with a fierce rap breakdown turn it into an anthem with real Ciara attitude. Similarly the Knightrider sampling Echo could be mistaken for an Aaliyah club track save for her singing, ''Ciara's got the moves and the curves''.
It's just as exciting to hear the slow jams as the club tracks, thanks to the detailed and often strange sounding backing tracks. She uses her silky vocals on softer tracks such as the Ne-Yo produced I Don't Remember or the delicate Never Ever to great effect. Only Like A Surgeon with its somewhat bizarre sex/hospital metaphors may leave you at a loss for words.
A record that manages to make you dance as much as retreat to the bedroom, Fantasy Ride is an album which could take Ciara to the much deserved next level. Beyonce better watch her back.
