“The singer’s seventh album moves between frothy pop-R&B and stale empowerment anthems that leave her talents largely underused.”
““I’m a groundbreaking woman – I get loud when I wanna,” sings Ciara on this album’s third single ‘Dose’, a Darkchild-produced R&B jam with a swaggering marching band flavour. It’s a totally admirable sentiment, but one that ‘Beauty Marks’ never really lives up to: Ciara’s solid and likeable seventh album will please longtime fans, but probably won’t restore her career to its early noughties glory ”
