Ciara's 'Fantasy Ride' Official Cover Art


An official cover art for Ciara upcoming third studio album "Fantasy Ride" has come out. The cover art mainly shows a close-up look at the singer with her name and the title of her new album attached on the corner of the artwork.

"Fantasy Ride" was previously slated for U.S. release on April 7. Produced by T-Pain, The-Dream, Ne-Yo and Justin Timberlake, the record has been pushed back and now set to be released across America on May 5.

That's Your Opinion

Van Morrison told The New Yorker that the Beatles seem to be a major turning point for music in the U.S. but says they just weren't that important historically in the U.K.

"I don't think 'pre-Beatles' means anything, because there was stuff before them. Over here, you have a different slant. You measure things in terms of The Beatles. We don't think music started there. Rolling Stone magazine does, because it's their mythology.

"The Beatles were peripheral. If you had more knowledge about music, it didn't really mean anything. To me, it was meaningless."

Aerosmith Music

Aerosmith is set to hit the studio later this month to begin work on their new, Brendan O’Brien-produced album, Blabbermouth reports.

“I’m really quite impressed with some of the new music we’re putting together — we’ll have a true-to-the-spirit-of Aerosmith record on our hands,” guitarist Brad Hamilton said.
