Ciara

Ciara’s new single ”˜Gimmie Dat’ is a nasty dance-floor throwdown, with the Atlanta singer spitting verses about shaking her ”˜Georgia peach.’ Too bad that Ciara and her executive producers, the-Dream and Tricky Stewart, haven’t come up with enough songs like it. Ciara mostly turns out safe, uptempo jams that are either übersexed or full of half-baked feminist exhortations (”˜Girls Get Your Money’). On the standout ”˜Turn It Up,’ Ciara and Usher just hit the club ”“ an instinct she should follow more often.
