With the ink still wet on her new deal with Epic Records, the 26 year old and label head LA Reid are wasting no time piecing together her 5th studio album.

And by the sounds of she’s working with, the ‘Promise’ singer looks set to serve up a double dose of retro and fresh.

As earlier reported, producers Hit Boy and Soundz have been cooking up material for the project.

Yet, the ever-trusty Twitter has now revealed that Bangladesh, and the trio behind LMFAO‘s ‘Party Rock Anthem’ have joined the production roster for the as yet untitled LP.

Renown for his hard, gritty, Hip-Hop beats, Bangladesh confirmed his involvement, writing over the weekend:

Needless to say, Ms. Harris has assembled quite the diverse team.

And while I’ve never subscribed to the “she needs to switch up her sound and/or go back to how she was in 04” nonsense, it’s refreshing to see her work with a fresh(er) set of names.

For, if orchestrated correctly, her comeback could be aptly Epic!

  2. CLAUS January 30, 2012

    Nicole and Ciara? The two biggest flops of the music industry together? Funny and interesting.

  3. yuppitsme69 January 30, 2012

    soo ready for new Ciara material and videos yay im happy for her

  4. Gregg January 30, 2012

    Can’t wait to hear the Goon Rock record. It will be cool to hear a dance record from Ciara because she’s actually a dance diva!

    Come on Ciara!

  5. Nahjee January 30, 2012

    Ciara gonna flop harder then kreayshawn did!

  6. aishaaguilerakeys January 30, 2012

    well, good luck to her!

  7. Humberto January 30, 2012

    I love me some Cici. Her discography is perfection, tbh. Even Fantasy Ride, which is “poppier” than her normal style, is a enjoyable listening.

    We are ready, Super C!

  8. Minajesty January 30, 2012

    i think this album is gonna be so much better than her last one because shes working with the right people. cant wait to hear 🙂

  9. Carl Neufville January 30, 2012

    I’m excited, love her but haven’t been feeling her last 2 albums. Much prefer her first 2 and the hood chick that made me gravitate towards her. Sounds like she’s sticking to her roots which is great!!

  10. Jay Jay January 30, 2012

    I like the fact this album will have a variety of producers so it won’t be one sounded like Basic Instinct. I hope the promo and marketing is perfection.

  11. Saxon_Minaj January 30, 2012

  20. junior seven January 30, 2012

    CIARA is just famous because she is LALA & KIM friend.

    SO event with big producers, she will still FLOP!

    people just care about BEYONCE & RIHANNA

    look KELLY ; she had a big hit, but her album still flop hard

    CIARA, have a seat on basquet ball game, & stay KIM & LALA friend

    your carrier is OVAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  21. Kyle January 30, 2012

    I’m not going to speak too soon because I remember I thought she was going to slay with “Basic Instinct” and we all saw what happened with that. But regardless, I am happy to hear that she is working with a slew of producers for this project. I think it has a lot to do with the label’s handeling of the project as well so I hope LA Reid gives her the push she needs!

  22. HeavyHeavy January 30, 2012

    i can’t wait for this era to begin..since she’s still in the studio i guess we aint getting a single anytime soon..maybe march for a june album release…I would like her to release like three singles before she drops the album

  23. An0thrnight272 January 30, 2012

    I’m truly hoping for an epic comeback! I’ve always felt like Ciara has the potential to be iconic! She’s much more entertaining then most of the artists who are at the top of the charts nowadays. Regardless I’ve always been a fan and I’m buying her album

  24. Kingphoenix January 30, 2012

    Ciara coming for wigs I see…Ciara please no ballads or euro-trash dance pop, just make good dance music and maybe some smooth R&B cut., 2012 will be an exciting year in music for sure…

  25. Tarina Pastry January 30, 2012

    im so happy for ciara but alot of her fans needs to be called out like @BasicallyIRunit @ill_Will92 @IllManneredTavi @missezRenee @MS_SWAYZE @LuvaofLuv @iHateChanelle @Telejah @UltimateCiara @iPrinceRobbie & @Sherlzzzz thinks she’s in charge of everything im calling CSquad out!!! a blog is being made

  26. JP January 30, 2012

    I’m actually looking forward to see what she comes up with…I hope her new team is providing her with the right guidance.

    I’m hoping we have more successful Black entertainers in 2012.

  27. stop it haters January 30, 2012

    @JUNIOR SEVEN i think the word your lookin for is CAREER not CARRIER lmao u dumbass if you gone hate at least know your words and spell them correct SMH

  28. stop it haters January 30, 2012

    ANY WHO CONGRATS TO CIARA ILL BE BUYING THREE!!! I SURE SIR WAS ONE OF THE 37000 THAT BOUGHT BASIC INSTINCT AND I GOT A AUTOGRAPHED POSTER AND CD. I MET HER SHE REALLY COOL AND DOWN TO EARTH I ALMOST CRIED TO SEE HOW PEOPLE HATE ON SUCH A SWEET POSITIVE PERSON. SHE HAS NEVER DONE ANYTHING TO ANYONE AND SHES ONE OF THE FEW ARTIST WHO ACTUALLY DOES CARE ABOUT HER FANS AND GIVES HER ALL

  29. Tarina Pastry January 30, 2012

    im calling everybody from csquad out the blog is being made by tea_spiller hope yall didnt forget about him

  30. CSquadron January 30, 2012

    im sorry, but ciara is stupid. She is REALLY stupid.

    This b**** has been given a FRESH start with a new label, new a&r, new team and shes working with producers she could have worked with three of four years ago.

    I knew this would happen, I knew LA Reid would sign her and then let her do what she wants JUST so he can focus on acts that will make him more money.

    If i hear one song about ‘lovin the atl’ or ‘getting down and crunk’ or any other kind of generic urban dance song, i will officially stop giving a f***.

    Its becoming too hard to stan for someone who doesnt realize how epic they could be if they worked with NEW people. Why not bring in Dr Luke, Max Martin etc to blend her urban swag with a top 40 radio sound!!!!

  31. Tarina Pastry January 30, 2012

    hope csquad didnt forget about tea-spiller yeah its going down!

  32. @CIARALOVER January 30, 2012

    @TARINAPASTRY YOU SOUND SO STUPID LOL WHO DEDICATES THEIR TIME TO SOMEONE U DONT KNOW OR LIKE HAHAHAHA HOW SAD!!!! I GUESS ONLY BUM B****** DO THAT RIGHT? LOL

  33. RYK101 January 30, 2012

    love me some cici but people need to realize that not because those people produced a hit for OTHER artists they can re-create the magic for ciara, i say this because people is starting to hype this ambum way too much and that’s something that can backfire, it’s better not to say anything and surprise people cause if ciara flops one more time then her career is over

  34. Tarina Pastry January 30, 2012

    @CiaraLover i forgot about you bum but csquad needs to be called out & im the right b*tch to do it & my good bro tea-spiller already dragged half of them they was scared the blog we putting together is crazy the other stan teams gon be laughing at yall!

  41. KINGOFHEARTS January 30, 2012

    I like Ciara but I’m here for Cassie’s comeback in 2012. Good luck to both of them tho.

  42. r seven January 30, 2012

    @kingofhearts please we talk about SINGER not MISTRESS

    CASSIE is just good to suck DIDDY D***, so she better stay on diddy pant

  43. Marvin January 30, 2012

    @TARINAPASTRY Oh you do? What’s my Twitter name then?

  44. Ciara is a superstar January 30, 2012

    @CSUADRAN

    LOL! I hear u but I think Mr Reid knows what he is doing as exec producer. Don’t forget he has helped Rihanna, Usher, Pink and Beiber become arena artists. I like this direction and I think he knows “lovin the Atl” is not a hit record.

    I hope she brings something hot for R&B/hiphop fans that have held her down in the past and also give the pop fans what they like.

    She doesnt have to chose either pop or r&b b/c she can do both like Breezy, Usher, Beyonce, and RiRi. It looks like that is what theyre doing.

    Get em CiCi!!!!!!!!!

  45. thecool January 30, 2012

    Aye The Neptunes are set to be producers on the album as well

  46. r seven January 30, 2012

  54. @CIARALOVER January 30, 2012

    THIS B**** DOES NOT WANT WAR!!!!

  55. Jordan January 30, 2012

    AS LONG AS HER STUFF STAYS LOCKED UP.

    Her biggest problem is leaks. Case closed.

  56. SUNNY January 30, 2012

    EVERYBODY WHO LEFT A NEGATIVE COMMENT ON HERE IS PRESSED.COM LOL
    HOW ARE YOU GONNA SAY “I DONT CARE ABOUT HER” BUT YOU TOOK TIME OUT OF YOUR LIFE TO READ THIS POST THEN LEFT A COMMENT.

    CIARA IS LIVING HER LIFE AND DOING WHAT SHE LOVES ALL YOU HATERS ARE MAD BECAUSE YALL CANT SAY THE SAME FOR YOURSELVES!

    CIARA IS VERY TALENTED AND SHE MAKES GREAT MUSIC. ALL ARTISTS FACE DIFFICULT TIMES BUT THEY GROW AND GET BETTER.

    NO MATTER WHAT CIARA HAS FANS THAT LOVE HER SO SHE WILL DO JUST FINE.

    WITH THAT BEING SAID IM VERY VERY EXCITED FOR HER NEW PROJECT

  57. Gessicunt January 30, 2012

    Tarina Pastry is a sad ass, 12 year old, insecure b****, lowkey Ciara fan, and DIE HARD CSquad fan. STAY MAD, BOO!

  58. Tea_spillers January 30, 2012

    lmaooooo that flop stan base u call the C-Squad is about to come to a End ………………………………. @tea_spillers

  59. LiveLoveLaugh January 30, 2012

    @Sunny couldnt have said it better. I agree 100% well said…These no life fools, who waste their time leaving negative comments on a posts of an artists they claim to “dislike” are pressed, no life, idiots with nothing better to do but hate on someone who is more successful then them, someone who is very talented, who accomplished alot, and living her life..they arent doing nothing with theirs.

    Can’t wait for album #5, the haters can stay mad cause.Ciara stay winning, while they stay losing.

  60. LiveLoveLaugh January 30, 2012

    These haters are pathetic parasites who waste their time online 24/7 every day hating. So pathetic. Ciara has accomplished alot, hatings only want to point out someone’s flaws, but what have yall accomplsihed in life? I’ll wait..Im positive the answer is nothing.

    Ciara is a somebody who is doing something right, since she got you haters so pressed and mad, you haters will continue to be nobodies. With no life, education, or no accomplishments…

  61. number1k9 January 31, 2012

    Lets hope the record can produce hits. Too bad Crunk died, and she didn’t really continue it for her sophomore album…kinda helping kill it. Because she really rode that “genre” well.

    Hell Ci kinda killed it by releasing “And I” instead of “Hot Line” or at least “Thug Style.”

  62. number1k9 January 31, 2012

    P.S.

    Bangladesh actually produced “Hotline,” [2004] so another new collaboration with them should be hot. She was on him before he worked with other R&B/Pop singers like Beyonce on “Diva,” [2008] and Rihanna on “Cokiness (Love It)” [2011].

  63. number1k9 January 31, 2012

    @ CSquadron

    She worked with Dr. Luke, on ‘Fantasy Ride’ …. track was hot, check it out, it was called “Tell Me What Your Name Is.” My fave from the album!

  64. KINGOFHEARTS January 31, 2012

    @r seven you are mad. lol

  65. therealest January 31, 2012

    @junior seven

    ‘your carrier’??????

    YOU ARE A DAMN FOOL!!!!!!!

  66. Chocky123 February 2, 2012

    YES…!!! Real music is FINALLY MAKING A COMEBACK!!!!

  67. CIARA FAN!! February 2, 2012

    I BELIEVE ITS WORTH THE WAIT! CIARA IS COMING TO SLAY THIS TIME! HOPE THE HATERS ARE READY BECAUSE WITH THIS ALBUM SHE WILL BE #1 ON THE CHARTS, #1 ON THE MUSIC CHANNELS, ETC.
    LOVE ME SOME DANG #CIARA

  68. Diarasopretty February 17, 2012
