Fans have been waiting for Ciara’s third album, Fantasy Ride, for quite some time now. The album was originally slated for a fall 2008 release then subsequently push to winter of 08, then the beginning of 2009. And yet, still no album.

But CiCi promises the wait will be over soon, even going as far to give a release date of May 19 that she insists is “not moving.”

“That day is perfect because I can make sure I can hold down the US as well as the UK overseas. Everybody gets it at one time,” she told Ed Lover of Power 105.1 this morning (Feb. 24) in an interview.

The talented singer/dancer admits the release date is later than she expected, but with the push-back disappointment, she couldn’t hold back her excitement over the new single from the album, the scorching hot “Love Sex Magic” featuring Justin Timberlake.

Unlike a lot of “duets” where a track is sent back and forth between artists, the two stars went into the studio one on one to work on the song.

Beyond what Timberlake brought to the session musically, Ciara walked away impressed by another one of his best attributes. “He’s a comedian. I think that all of us can agree–at least if you’ve been watching some of his stuff lately–that he’s really becoming more and more silly…His personality is amazing.”

The video for “Love Sex Magic,” which Ciara describes as “the best one thus far,” was shot last week. It directed by Diane Martel who worked on past videos for CiCi like “Like A Boy” and “Promise.”

No pressure there, right?
