Confirmed: Ciara's Basic Instinct Due October 5th

After online speculation, Billboard have confirmed that Ciara’s upcoming third album Basic Instinct will now arrive in stores on October 5th.
In a new article published on Billboard.com, “Ride” producer Tricky Stewart has discussed the unexpected success of the single, as well as Ciara’s impending comeback.

“The track has caught on because it’s infectious, memorable and returns Ciara to her fan base,” Stewart says. “The last album we had a number of people in our ears not believing in our vision. This time Ciara drew the line and really fought for what she believed in.”

Good move. Ciara definitely needed more time to release another single, and to promote and perform. Bring on “Gimmie Dat”.
