"  Ciara, Ciara Ciara is the first to admit it: She&amp;#039;s not a ballad singer. But who cares when, on this energetic self-titled LP, she&amp;#039;s playing to her strengths? Her fifth album finds CiCi returning to &amp;quot;Goodies&amp;quot; form (and to producer L. A. Reid, who discovered her), with odes to getting down in every genre, from the fun, &amp;#039;80s-ish &amp;quot;Overdose&amp;quot; to the sexy slow jam &amp;quot;Sophomore,&amp;quot; and, our favorite, the aggressive head-thrower &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m Out,&amp;quot; which brings a killer Nicki Minaj hook. Still, when Ciara writes, it&amp;#039;s neither a beat nor a melody that she thinks of first; instead, she imagines how her body will respond to the song. (Check out the lead single, &amp;quot;Body Party,&amp;quot; for the most evident representation.) The resulting collection of songs promises to have us dancing all night. Now, if we could just master Ciara&amp;#039;s moves.

Based on the ferocity of revenge fantasy &amp;quot;Final Warning,&amp;quot; it&amp;#039;s one to be reckoned with. (Out on July 9) "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
