Ciara - "Da Girls" + 8th Album

Her team not releasing “C.R.U.S.H.” and “Addicted” from The Evolution: Bonus Track Edition is a bitter grudge I’m enthusiastically taking to the grave. Slaps on the hand aren’t enough to be honest!

Is there a reason "That's Right" never got the proper push it deserved, particularly given they shelled out for a video?
 
And I is nowhere near as good as the other three, but I can imagine it made sense at the time to go for a "let's show the artist's range"/"ballads sell the album" kind of single. Probably could have released another bop before it and saved it for single #5 though.
 
'Hotline' was fucking wasted as an album track.

The Evolution got the right singles, though. Fantasy Ride too, although 'Work' should have received a massive push instead of the little promo it got. That was a bop and a half.

Basic Instinct: Turn It Up.
Ciara: Livin' It Up.
Jackie: Kiss & Tell.
Beauty Marks: Girl Gang.
 
She saw her pal Kelly defend an abuser and she was like hold my beer! Let me stan an abuser AND a pedophile!


Damn, this week has been brutal. The amount of artists I’ve had to scrap from my Spotify playlists. They’ll never get that 0.00000000032 cents from me ever again.

I can imagine it made sense at the time to go for a "let's show the artist's range"/"ballads sell the album" kind of single.
I've always been curious—do ballads really sell albums? I get the logic, but I don't think that releasing a ballad as a single is necessary unless the artist can really sang—and Goodies-era Ciara could not.
 
She’ll be performing a medley of Better Things (sans Summer), Jump and a new song on Rockin’ Eve, and she said that ‘winning’ would be the theme for 2023 (album title or new single hint?)
 
Me and my boyfriend were watching youtube while being high last night and I played him Dance Like We're Making Love, which left him speechless. He then asked me to "introduce" him to Ciara's catalogue and that was a fun run.

But really, what a song and video, maybe one of my most favorite pop videos ever.
