Ciara (Uh Huh) Returns With the Mesmerizing 'Level Up'
Entertainment
Never count Ciara out, because if you do, she will always return to hand you your ass while dancing hers off. A bolt out of the blue that just keeps zapping at 150+ BPM, “Level Up” is frenetic enough to be a surreal blur of stimulus. This is particularly true for its neon-tinged video, which was directed and choreographed by Parris Goebel. As they stomp, thrust their hips, and run in place while lying on the floor sideways, you have to wonder if Ciara and her troupe even have time to breathe.
