Breathtaking!

Ciara quite literally stuns in the newly unveiled cover for her sixth studio album, ‘Jackie.’

Due in May, the project is led by single ‘I Bet‘ and features production from the likes of Dr. Luke, Polow Da Don, Rock City, Harmony Samuels, and Diane Warren. The set is also being supported by a multi-city US tour – which is also set to kick off in May.

Fans who pre-order the album can enter into an exclusive pre-sale which sees them get access to tickets for the tour first.

We’re loving the cover! It appears to pay stylised homage to the artwork for Janet’s 1993 self-titled LP. Beautiful!

Naturally, his comments went viral and many deemed them as JD spitting venom in CiCi’s direction.
