Word is Ciara and Timberfake are scheduled to film a video together this weekend. I'm assuming this will be her first single in Europe. More details to come...
**UPDATE**
per rapup.com
Ciara and Justin Timberlake will put their best feet forward when the two dance machines team up for Ciara’s new single, “Love and Sex and Magic.”
Rap-Up.com has exclusively learned that the Zomba labelmates will shoot a video for the song on Friday in New York with director Diane Martel, who helmed the clips for “Promise” and “Like a Boy.”
The Timberlake-produced track will appear on Ciara’s third album Fantasy Ride, scheduled for release this spring.

DAAAAAAAAMN. It looks like Jive has decided to spend all of Teeth Brown's advance on Ciara videos. Is the new strategy to release all the singles with videos but no other promo before putting out the album? They spittin videos/singles like the Octimom pushes babies.
3 weeks after releasing her first single "Never Ever" Jive puts out Ci f/ Timberfake "Love Sex & Magic" as the 2nd single. It was only a matter of time before the 2 falsetto singing/loving artists got together. The 2 share a manager. The demo was on youtube already.
The beat is similar to his sound on his last album, specifically "Sexy Ladies." It gives that 80's Time/Prince retro funk vibe. I guess pop will eat this up. Her current "Never Ever" is slowly climbing the urban charts and goes for ads to impact crossover on March 2nd. It's already impacted in Sweden and Germany even though that was not targeted. On March 2nd this new single with Justin goes to the European market. The video is being shot today and tomorrow. I guess that's what this single is for. Her negro base will not appreciate this.
After about 3 listens at high volume, I understand why they released it. Besides the fact that Timberfake is a international crossover magnet, the song has an eclectic sound. He wrote this and produced it for Ciara.
This experimental thing Ci is doing is out of control. I should applaud her audacity to truly give us sounds out of her comfort zone. We all know Ci could easily put out a crunk hip hop record and get the spins we expect from her. But she refuses to do what we expect from her. We'll see how long this defiance lasts.
