Now this is straight up ridiculous! Ciara’s upcoming cd, “Fantasy Ride” has reportedly slid to a Spring 2009 release according to EW. “The response to “Go Girl” (which mind you, is a hot song and video)wasn’t strong enough to ignite an album,” a Zomba rep reported Tuesday. Peaking at #78 on the Billboard Charts, “Go Girl,” failed to be the single needed to propel the “Goodies” and “Promise” singer to the top. According to Zomba there is still hope: “It’s a nice setup single because the video introduces Ciara’s new look and her new body, but it’s not the opener.” With stellar competition from Britney, Beyonce, and Rihanna, Ciara faces a tremendous amount of pressure to move units like her previous chart toppers “Goodies” and “Evolution,” while also trying to show maturity and growth.”Ciara opened very wide with her first album, which gave her a broad audience and crossover appeal. Her second album was a little more urban. With Fantasy Ride, they’re trying to strike a balance [between pop and urban] while looking for the right single.” In related news, Ciara has nabbed Justin Timberlake for “Fantasy Ride.” The collaboration between the two is expected to add extra ‘fire’ to the album that is now up in the air: “Right now, we are anticipating it for spring 2009, but we’re not gonna put another date on it.”
