'Goodies' songstress Ciara has revealed that she recently recorded a collaboration with rap superstar Nicki Minaj.

Speaking to MTV News about their duet on a track named 'I'm Out', Ciara explained they worked really well together and the energy brought to the song really comes across in how it sounds: "The energy of the record is so dope, and it's really for the ladies, and Nicki she just killed the verse."

"She literally murdered it, like she got that throw-back, that thing that she does that's so special. She went in."

Referring to her working relationship with Minaj, Ciara added: "It's just been magical, it's been something special and I feel like the fans have always wanted to see she and I rock together."

Her self-titled album is due to be released on July 8 in the UK and a day later in the USA, with 'Body Party' acting as the record's lead single.
