Ciara has promised that her new album Fantasy Ride will take her fans by surprise.
The singer has not released a record in over two years, but claimed that her third offering was "all about the fun, thrill and excitement of not knowing what's coming next".
The star, who previously released upbeat R&B singles 'Goodies' and '1, 2 Step', admitted that she has retained some of her old style on the new disc.
"Those up-tempo records are the super-duper core of me," she told Attitude. "They give me energy - and there's nothing like energy - and take me to a whole 'nother space, like your energy level goes to the tenth power."
The 23-year-old added that she hoped her fans would welcome some slower numbers, including single 'Never Ever' which deals with the confusion of a relationship.
"Normally, people expect me to come tempo, tempo, tempo, but this topic holds a special place in my heart.
"It's something I've been talking about a lot with my friends, how a woman often holds on to the hope that a man will change his ways or become more special. That doesn't happen. The relationship just gets dragged out."
