Ciara Prepares To Finally Push That Fantasy Ride Out Of The Garage

And that Fantasy Ride has definitely been in the garage for a very long time. If I recall correctly, her third album was supposed to be released in the Summer of 2008. Although it's been a while, things are finally looking to come together for the DIVA! Fantasy Ride will be out in one week, May 5th. Her third single, "Love Sex Magic" just made it into the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, her video is running all of the countdowns, and I'm starting to see some good promo too.

PressPlay below to watch the first installment of Ciara's 'webisode' on YouTube. The best part of the video is the fact that she actually shows you exactly how she has grown as an artist and an individual.

She introduces us to her vocal coach (and actually lets us watch as she works with her), sings an excerpt from "Like A Surgeon", and does some dancing with her choreographer. Also, you'll get to meet some of her close childhood friends in ATL.

I can truly say that she has come a long way. Make sure to cop Ciara's Fantasy Ride when it hits stores on May 5th.
