Ciara’s new album has been derailed. Orginally scheduled to be released on December 9th, Fantasy Ride was then pushed back to January 2009 and now according to Entertainment Weekly, has officially been pushed back even further, to Spring of 2009. The first single from Fantasy Ride, Go Girl, failed to spark an interest with fans, peaking at #78 on the Hot 100 chart before falling off after only four weeks. “The response to ‘Go Girl’ wasn’t strong enough to ignite an album,” says a rep for the Zomba Label Group. “It’s a nice setup single because the video introduces Ciara’s new look and her new body, but it’s not the opener.”

Tiffany Evans is back in the studio working on her sophomore album, Ponytail Krush, slated for release on Columbia Records in early 2009. The 16-year-old describes this release as a coming-of-age project, which she calls an “emancipating experience.”
“When I sat down with my manager and the record label, I told them I did not want to be limited in the type of songs I recorded this time around. I want to make music for everyone. I describe this album like turning a radio dial and no matter what type of music the station plays, you can find a Tiffany Evans record on the playlist,” said the pint-sized singer. In an effort to create a universal album, Tiffany Evans titled her new album Ponytail Krush. “Anybody can wear a ponytail. No matter the age, male or female—ponytails are for everybody—just like my music is for everybody,” explained the Bronx native.
