| Song Listing |  |
| Ciara is the latest crunk sensation from across the Atlantic, and the first female artist to take on the relatively new genre. Her debut album features collaborations from some of the biggest names in hip-hop, including Missy Elliot and Ludacris. The album also features her #1 single Goodies.
| | Album Notes and Credits | Notes & Personnel Info |  | Personnel: Ciara (vocals); Jazee Pha (rap vocals, various instruments); Petey Pablo, Lil Jon, Ludacris, Missy Elliott, T.I. (rap vocals); R. Kelly (background vocals). |  | Recording information: Hitco, Atlanta, GA; Circle House, Miami, Florida; Sony Music Studios, New York, NY. |  | As a rare female voice in the world of crunk, Ciara is in the unique position to offer a counterpoint to the multitude of hits like Lil Jon's "Get Low" and Petey Pablo's "Freek-a-Leek," which feature men going into clubs and calling out any attractive female. On Ciara's breakout single, "Goodies," the singer coos sultrily--but forcefully--about her independence and how she refuses to be treated like an object, even enlisting the aforementioned Lil Jon and Pablo help out, producing and guest rapping, respectively. It's no wonder "Goodies" was a 2004 summer smash, with its singularly disarming combination of an empowering message backed by an intoxicatingly sexy beat. |  | |  | Ciara's debut record takes its name and direction from the aforementioned hit, backing up her outstanding single with a slew of aggressive, seductive dance-floor hits cut by sweet ballads (a la Beyonce), as the vocalist asserts both her self-dominion and her natural vulnerability. It certainly doesn't hurt to have a friend in Jazze Pha, one of the ablest producers in the game, who seems to have an affinity for Ciara's every sway. Nor does it hurt to boast guest shots from Missy Elliott (on the "Goodies" companion piece "1,2 Step") and Ludacris (on the sinister "Oh"). With GOODIES, Ciara reveals depth beyond her potent first hit. | Producer: Jazze Pha; Andre Harris; Adonis | Engineer: Charles Sanders; Leslie Brathwaite | Musical Guests |  | Petey Pablo |  | Missy Elliott |  | Ludacris |  | T.I. |  | Jazze Pha |  | R.

| | Artist Overview | | Not yet 20 years old when her debut single, "Goodies," hit number one on Billboard, former military brat Ciara quickly established herself as one of R&B's most promising young stars. Originally a protege of producer Jazze Pha, Ciara has since gone on to work with the biggest names in hip-hop and R&B, including R. Kelly, will.i.am, Missy Elliott, Lil Jon, 50 Cent, and Pharrell, among others. Ciara's sophomore album, THE EVOLUTION, debuted at number one on the charts in late 2006, and marked a step away from the bubblegum sexuality she flaunted on her previous album and toward a more mature persona, both aesthetically and personally. |
