Warning This Review reflects My Thoughts And Feelings So If You Don't Agree with it Remember "keep it light, keep it bright"- Ciara
Read review after the jump.
The first album since the commercial failure that was 'Fantasy Ride' which was released back on (May of 09), Ciara says it's time to bring it back to basic's with her fourth album 'Basic Instinct'. Now as a fan of some of Ciara's previous works, I must say I am highly disappointed with her and this album. the first song 'Basic instinct (U Got Me)' talks about who she had been slipping on her game in the industry and how she was making her big return back to her former glory, well clearly she got lost on her way back to us, because this album see's the return of nothing but her being dropped from Jive Records. now she started these this era with a fantastic start her first single Ride which had major radio airplay and not one single performance or promotion was to be found, then she pushes the album back so many times it's sad (she must have broke the records for the most push backs).
Not to mention the tracks that where leaked on to the web which was basically the whole album, except a few (mind you there is only 11 tracks). I cant for the life of me understand the reasoning for all the push backs, because she had so much time that anything short of a Mariah Carey's 'Emancipation of Mimi' or a Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' would be a failure and guess what it falls and tripped completely short of both of those albums. i'm mad I even took the time to write this review, but honestly this album showed not only no vocal growth it shows no growth as a artist as well. jesus only know's why she let The Dream produce this whole album, his writing skills are too repetitive and why does he have all his singers act like they have a speech impediment when they sing. I give this album a stamp of 2 out out of 5 stars is if you buy this album it's evident that the recession has not effected your pockets and you have money to burn.
Ciara if you see this review its not that I enjoyed writing this review because I would have love to have wrote that this album has been your best album yet, but its not and I shall not tell a lie.
