"Entertainment Weekly" placed Ciara's upcoming third solo disc, "Fantasy Ride" onto their Summer music preview issue. Check out what Ciara had to say about her upcoming Summer album release...

"The first stop is Crunk Town, the second is Groove City, and the third is the Kingdom of Dance. You're gonna hear up-tempo songs that you're used to hearing me do, but there will definitely be a good amount of midtempos, ballads, and sensual songs. The goal is to show my growth. My last album was called, "The Evolution", and things have changed since then. I'm pushing the limits even more - I'm not holding back".

The ATL-based R&B singer also talked about four tracks including the Tricky Stewart-produced lead single, "High Price" featuring Ludacris. The three tracks in question that Ciara talked with "EW" about are "Work", "When I" and "Echo".

In related news, JD captured behind the scenes footage taken on the set of Nelly and Ciara's new single, "Stepped On My J's." [Necole Bitchie has photos of Nelly and JD partying at Luckie's after the video treatment wrapped.]
