Now estimated to drop in April after a slew of failed release dates ‘mdash; and with Beyonce rallying the single ladies, Britney conducting the circus and Rihanna disturbing the masses ‘mdash; there’s hardly chart room for Ciara’s Fantasy Ride. Luckily, the Net’s leaky faucet has bestowed ‘Turntables’ upon the disciples of the goodie -flaunting goddess, a soon-to-be hit with enough sweat-drenched synth to hold us over ’til spring. Producer Danja’s high-octane bounce showcases Chris Brown as a babyface Midas, backed by Indian-girl chants that slide and grind against a steady crack-thump-thump. While the exotics too closely recall Busta Rhyme’s failed ‘Night Rider’ attempt ‘Arab Money,’ this hip-swayer will likely fare better on the charts than Ciara’s forgotten ‘Go Girl.’
