Review
"Beauty Marks," Ciara's seventh studio album, dropped on May 10, 2019, and let me tell you, it’s a big deal for her! This is her first release under her own label, Beauty Marks Entertainment, and it's packed with talent. With guest appearances by Kelly Rowland, Macklemore, and Tekno, you're in for a treat. Plus, the singles "Level Up," "Freak Me," "Dose," "Greatest Love," and "Thinkin' Bout You" set the tone perfectly.
The album kicked off its songwriting and production phase back in 2016 with a stellar team, including Skylar Grey, Ester Dean, Space Primates, and the master J.R. Rotem, among others. The result? Eleven tracks that are super introspective and personal. The title track, "Beauty Marks," co-written with Skylar Grey, hits hard with its message about finding beauty in imperfections and the transformative power of love.
Critics had mixed feelings about "Beauty Marks," but let’s focus on the good stuff. Fans are loving its honesty and the way it mirrors Ciara’s own journey of growth and self-discovery. The album's cohesive themes of love, resilience, and empowerment shine through and will speak to your heart, especially if you're into R&B that digs deep into the soul.
In the end, "Beauty Marks" showcases Ciara’s artistic evolution and her fearless approach to music. If you’re all about songs that resonate with the ups and downs of life, this album is for you. Vibes for days, amigas! - Sofia
