Ciara: The Evolution
CML call number: CD R&B Ciara
Chuck Arnold wrote in People: "On her double-platinum debut, 2004's not-so-great Goodies, Ciara was all about doing the '1, 2 Step.' On this follow-up, the 21-year-old R&B star is more concerned with making artistic strides, and she displays significant growth on The Evolution. As a show of her newfound maturity and confidence, Ciara cowrote every song and even tapped a ballad as the first single: 'Promise,' with its grinding groove and '80s synths, sounds like the kind of sexy slow jam Prince might have written for Sheila E. back in the day. But like Janet Jackson before her, Ciara is a small-voiced singer who relies on big-time beats, the better to show off her fly dance moves. And there is no lack of choreographic inspiration from hot club tracks like the crunked-up 'That's Right,' which reunites her with 'Goodies' producer Lil Jon, and the irresistibly funky 'I Proceed,' one of several electro-infused cuts that will have you bringing your best steps to the floor" ("Picks & Pans: Music," 12/11/06, p. 47).
Includes a DVD with music videos for 2 tracks, plus Ciara teaching how to do the moves involved.
