Ciara is back in full force.  After premiering her new single “Sweat” featuring 2 Chainz and promoting the comedy That’s My Boy, the R&B chaunteuse  jetted to New York to host a listening party for her new album One Woman Army on Wednesday night.  Celebrities and tastemakers packed the room as she played tracks off her first album since 2010’s Basic Instinct.

Her Epic Records boss L.A. Reid and music mogul Jermaine Dupri toasted her with champagne, while guests including pal La La, producer Tricky Stewart, and “X Factor” alum Marcus Canty.

The album, due in October, received rave reviews from attendees.  Among the records heard was a “summer banger” with Rick Ross and a ballad called “Sorry.” DJ SNS also reported hearing a collaboration with Nicki Minaj.
