Album Description
Goodies is the debut album from nineteen-year-old, Atlanta native, Ciara (pronounced see-air-ra). Signed to Jazze Pha's, new label Sho' Nuff/ Zomba, Goodies is the hottest debut urban album this year with production and guest appearances from Lil Jon, Missy Elliot, Ludacris and Petey Pablo. Take the best songwriters and the best singers, add the most exciting performers and the best all around personalities, throw in the hottest looks and the sexiest smiles --- mix them all together and the finished product would probably look and sound a lot like CIARA. The 18-year-old beauty from Atlanta is the latest multi-talented scene-stealer to nudge her way to center stage with attention-grabbing vocals, irresistible songwriting and killer dance moves. CIARA has found herself in the mix with some of the biggest and brightest producers, among them JAZZE PHA -- who signed CIARA to his Sho' Nuff label after working with her for a mere five days -- and his royal crunkness LIL JON, who produced the singer's lead single, the "cRunk & B" cautionary wrist-slapper "GOODIES" - featuring her legendary labelmate, the one and only PETEY PABLO. CIARA is the second artist (the first was USHER and "YEAH!") to release a cRunk & B track. In fact, CIARA co-wrote "Goodies" with "YEAH!" songwriter SEAN GARRETT! CIARA's self-titled Sho' Nuff/LaFace/Zomba Label Group debut is a heaping dose of real life issues conveyed through everyday language and extraordinary production and vocal delivery. In fact, this fresh debut is chock full of "Goodies."

 Ciara Delivers the "Goodies," but in Limited Amounts. October 3, 2004
85 out of 131 found this review helpful
The title song of Ciara's debut is not only the ultimate party anthem of the summer, but it's one of the best singles of the year. This jam has been Number One for over a month, and not without good reason: an infectious chorus, a crunked up groove, and production from Lil' Jon (who did Usher's "Yeah!"), currently one of the hottest producers in hip hop. Sadly, you're not going to find anything else on "Goodies" that will top that single. Tracks like "1, 2 Step" and "Thug Style" are obvious fillers, though others like "Pick Up the Phone" and "Lookin' at You" are decent, if unspectacular, slices of hip hop flavored r&b. But the better cuts are the R. Kelly-penned ballad "Next to You" and "Ooh Baby" which are memorable and make the best use of Ciara's limited vocal range. Beyond the red-hot title song, "Goodies" is standard, radio-friendly r&b with a few nice touches. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give it a 6. It's flawed, but Ciara has some promise.
 More Than Goodies, Great Album September 28, 2004
54 out of 72 found this review helpful
Ciara's Goodies surprised me and it's one of the best albums I have listened to all years. It's not just R&B, according to an insert I received with my album, it's cRunk & B, a hybrid of the two forms of music. The album opens up with "Goodies" featuring Petey Pablo and is featured by the uptempo song "1-2 Step" featuring Missy. This is a real cool song with a crazy bridge, produced by Jazze Pha of course. The next song, "Thugstyle" slows it down a little but it's still something you can ride too. The album is filled with potential hit singles, but one of my favorites is the song, "Pick Up The Phone," another song with a crazy beat. The Ludacris featured song, "Oh," also is off the hook. Whether you like the song "Goodies" or not, please check out this album. T.I. appears on the "Goodies" remix but he doesn't do as much for the song as Petey Pablo did. Other cool songs include "Ooh Baby," and "Hotline," hey the whole album is fly and so is Ciara, so don't sleep on this album. I'm sure a lot of these young female singers will be picking up pointers from Ciara's album.
A mixed bag of Goodies October 7, 2004

Ciara - Goodies (Laface, 2004)
If you're 18 and over, I wonder what in the world are you doing listening to this album anyway. This album is strictly for the 106th & Park fanbase because the subject matter ranges from teenage love, my-parents-are-gone-for-the-nite-so-come-over jams, and what-I-need-in-a-boyfriend ditties. Ciara's voice is still underdeveloped but if J. Lo can get a record deal, then she sure can.
This album is just like a Janet Jackson record (the vocals aren't stong but it'll make you dance). You've all heard the title track and it bumps like any Lil Jon song should. However, that's the only banger because the other tracks don't really compare, even though "1, 2 Step" has potential to be a good follow-up single. The slow jams, though, are what could save this album from going into the discount bin, like "Ooh Baby" and "And I". One-hit wonder? Who knows. But this album should satisfy the kids. We had our Adina Howard so let them have their Ciara. -EJR

An Almost Perfect Album September 29, 2004
11 out of 13 found this review helpful
Ciara's debut album "Goodies" is an almost perfect album. It starts off with the radio-friendly title track "Goodies" and goes straight to another high energy club track "1, 2 Step". With the exception of "Hotline", "Oh", and "Lookin' At You" the rest of the album is mid-tempo but in no way boring. 2 of the best tracks are "Ooh Baby" and "The Title" which both flaunt an old-school sound. ("The Title" even has some nice horns in the background) The "Goodies" remix isn't as bangin' as it could have been but since the original track is so hot fans will enjoy it anyway. Ciara's voice isn't amazing but she can definitely hold her own. Lyrically the album seems geared towards a younger crowd but there's no problem with that. Plus, Ciara wrote all but 2 songs on the CD and she is only 18 so it makes sense that her music reflects herself. With such a great debut album you can only anticipate what her future music will sound like 'cause I'm sure Ciara will be around for awhile.
