She's just released the second single from her latest album, and Ciara has also been hard at work filming a video for it too.

The 26-year-old singer was spotted larking around on a beach in Malibu on Sunday, where she showed off her curvaceous figure.

Wearing a black bikini that featured a low-cut top and high-waisted briefs, the Texas-born star looked incredible as she shot scenes for the upcoming video.

Completing her look with a long gold chain that held a giant cross, and with her blonde hair left down, Ciara splashed around in the sea and was seen laughing as she did so.

When it came to filming more scenes on the shore, Ciara strolled along the sand wearing a black leather jacket over her bikini and later added ripped denim shorts to the ensemble.

It is unknown whether or not this particular video will accompany Ciara's latest single, Sorry, which was re! leased y esterday (Monday) but either way, it's sure to be a hit with her male fans.

One Woman Army is Ciara's fifth studio album and is set for release in November this year, with the lead single, Sweat, having been released in June.

Speaking of the new release, Ciara said a few months ago: 'I'm so excited about this new record. This is the most vulnerable I've ever been in my life and career.

'And I'm so confident with being vulnerable. At one point in time, I was very afraid to be as vulnerable as I am. This is almost like a journal, my own personal journal when you get this record.'
