Ciara - "Da Girls" + 8th Album

[eddy2375]

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?

 

[Verandi]

She saw her pal Kelly defend an abuser and she was like hold my beer! Let me stan an abuser AND a pedophile!

Yikes.

 

[Jersey]

Well she won’t be seeing a hit beyond that tweet going semi-viral so good for her!

This, though my decades-long bitterness is most reserved for Hotline not being released over And I.

"Hotline" was the obvious fourth single from Goodies. I genuinely don't understand what her team were thinking when they released "And I." I would've even considered pushing "Hotline" as Single No. 3 and bumping "Oh" to Single No. 4.

"And I" became kind of a karaoke classic, though. I feel like I've seen so many covers of it on YouTube over the years.

I don't think that its status as a karaoke classic makes up for it destroying Goodies' otherwise very solid Billboard Hot 100 Top 2 run with its peak at No. 96.

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.

 

[Txetxu]

'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.

Let's celebrate a classic instead

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.

 

[LPMA]

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?)

 

[Vasilios]

Good luck winning that stage you speak of.

New single on the way:

 

[Leopold]

Collaboration with Walker Hayes:

Bop.

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.
