BLACK VINYL Ciara's eighth album is an expansion of her like-titled first EP, released in 2023. All seven tracks from the original release are included. The warm Chris Brown duet "How We Roll," Ciara's biggest single since 2018, led off the EP and takes a prime spot here, while the Lil Baby-assisted "Forever," another well-received collaboration from the EP, reinforces the album's second half. Like the EP, the seven new songs are slick, tinted with vintage sonic references (Evelyn "Champagne" King, the Art of Noise, etc.), and mix it up between slow jams and more dancefloor-aimed material. As ever, Ciara maintains a fine balance between earnest and playful, reflecting on hard-fought financial stability one moment, bragging during another about the scene she makes when she picks up her kids, and leaving plenty of time for romantic and seductive sentiments. "This Right Here" reunites her with Jazze Pha, and the result is very "'1, 2 Step' 2025" with Latto in place of Missy Elliott. CiCi plays it safe with no surprises, and is sure to please listeners who balk at the thought of Ciara leaving her comfort zone.
