    This may not be a groundbreaking record, but it’s definitely one that delivers bops befitting of a woman who keeps on performing even when she’s served with court papers on stage.

    She retreads just about every move she has made before, even though the crop of new fellow songwriters and producers almost outnumbers the familiar likes of Ester Dean, Pierre Medor, Christopher "Tricky" Stewart, Rodney Jerkins, Jasper Cameron, and Theron Thomas.

    A mediocre album without the ambition to flirt with the terrible, Beauty Marks manages to land in the middle of Ciara’s discography when boldness is required.

With "Level Up",Her first album in four years, Beauty Marks manages to maintain both essential Ciara with dance floor and balladic fillers. With "Level Up", Ciara perfectly demonstrates her musical talent, whilest in "Girl Gang", we see a side of Ciara that not only feels rebellious, but also feels like filler.

    Plus, you would expect her first album in four years to have more than 11 songs on it, wouldn't you?    … Full Review »
