CIARA EYES LATE SUMMER RELEASE FOR NEW ALBUM....

Ciara is currently recording her third as-yet-untitled album and Billboard have exclusively revealed that the singer's upcoming album is tentatively slated for either August or early September. It is also reported that the singer has already garnered tracks from DanjaHandz, The Clutch, Polow Da Don and T-Pain [SOURCE]:

I wasn't expecting the album to drop so soon. This means we're likely to hear a new single by May/June at least. I'm kind of peeved she's jumped on the T-Pain bandwagon like everybody else. Why people think he's the shit I'll never know. He's straight wack to me. As for the Danja and The Clutch, I'm really excited about those. And Polow Da Don was expected because he's been there from day one. Overall, yay, I'm really excited about this album. The singer is also hard at work shooting her lead role in the upcoming movie adaptation of the stage play, "Mama, I Want to Sing." which co-stars Patti LaBelle. The movie is expected to hit theaters later this year.
