If I were A&R' ing Ciara's 5th album I would have her go for songs that complement her style which is "Aggressive but Sweet". She needs AMAZING BEATS, because she is a Dance/R&B oriented artist. I know people tend to run this one in the ground but she should look to Aaliyah's self titled album and "One In A million " as INSPIRATION only, No copying. Their artistry is so similar it's haunting sometimes. I see alot of Aaliyah in Ciara , as many people have already commented. I think its great she's working with Diane Warren because she needs a "One I gave My heart to" ballad, "Promise " was her "OIAM". I think her real A&R and LA Reid are already thinking of putting her on track with what Aaliyah was creating during her career. I would also place her with Timbaland , and some new unknown producers. I think if she works with Dream , it should be limited to one or two songs.
