Fantasy Ride (by Ciara, Hip-hop)
common sense media says
Sexy talk makes this an iffy pick for younger teens.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that while this album doesn't contain a lot of four-letters words, the sexy nature of many of the songs makes it questionable for kids' ears. Although the sexy messages are generally shrouded in metaphors and analogies, savvy listeners will probably get the idea of what Ciara means.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
Lots of seductive singing on this album has Ciara talking about how good her body feels and how much men desire her. "Don't be afraid to scream my name, you like it when I turn around and put the arch in my back, I got some moves, put 'em on baby you gonna like that."
Language:
There is very little profanity on the album, only s--t once or twice, however there is loads of innuendo mostly having to do with sex. "I ain’t goin' stop you if you wanna grab my neck, talk sexy to me like that, just do what I taught you, girl, when I give you my heat I need you to push it right back."
Consumerism:
"High Price" is a song that is blinged out on jewelry, cash, and cars. Not only does the song flaunt overspending, it equates romance with consumerism: "Better have a hot pair of Nikes, better buy me anything I like."
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
There's a few brief references to drinking, like mentioning sake in the song "High Price," but nothing major.

Highly anticipated new record from major R&B superstar!
Sexual Content: Explicit and straightforward. "If you wanna grab my neck and talk sexy to me like that", "All night show just you in the crowd doing tricks you've never seen". "Work" talks about shaking that thang like a donkey. "Like A Surgeon" puts Ciara in the role of the naughty doctor, offering sex. "Keep Dancing On Me" features some sexual innuedos. "I Don't Remember" discusses the possibility of a wild one night stand. Violence: N/A Language: S**t is featured in "High Price" and "Echo (Bonus Track)", however both songs are edited. D*mn is featured numerous times in "I'm On (Bonus Track)". Social Behaviour: Ciara celebrates partying and sex. High Price discusses the reliance of numerous materilistic items. Commercialism: "High Price" consistently name drops several name brand items including "Louis Vutton". Drugs/Alcohol/Smoking: "I Don't Remember" talks about a hangover, not remembering what exactly happened the night before, mentioning alcohol (or "drinks") numerous times. Suggestive lines include "I think I had to much to drink".
Overall, a great new CD from R&B superstar Ciara. I would highly reccomend that no one over the age of 16+ listen to this CD. The messages may be confusing to young children and the open discussion of sex and drinking may make for an uncomfortable listen at any age younger than 16.
