Сиара: Жас өнерпаздың жолы мен «Goodies» альбомы

2004 studio album by Ciara

In her mid teens, Ciara formed the all girl group Hearsay with two of her friends. The group recorded demos, but as time went on, they began to have differences and eventually parted ways. Despite this setback, Ciara was still determined to reach her goal and signed a publishing deal as a songwriter. After leaving the group Hearsay, Texas native Ciara earned a writing job via her manager, for Atlanta's Tricky Stewart and The Dream's RedZone Entertainment, penning songs for Mýa and Fantasia among others. According to Ciara, no one believed in her dreams of hearing her own music on the radio until she met producer Jazze Pha in 2002. She began production on her debut album later that year. Recording sessions for the album took place at Chocolate Factory, Chicago, IL; Circle House Studios, Miami, FL; Darp Studios, Atlanta, GA; Doppler Studios, Atlanta, GA; Futuristic Recording Studios, Atlanta, GA; Ground Breaking Studios, Atlanta, GA; Hit Factory Criteria, Miami, FL; Hitco, Atlanta, GA; Patchwerk Recordings, Atlanta, GA; Phoenix Ave. Studios, Atlanta, GA; Sony Music Studios, New York, NY; Studio 609 Recordings, Philadelphia, PA; The Studio, Philadelphia, PA. In early 2004, Ciara wrote a demo with record producer Sean Garrett, co writer of Usher's crunk hit "Yeah." After hearing a demo, crunk producer Lil Jon, who also produced and was featured on "Yeah", began to work on the full record, to have it released on LaFace. When talking about the album's theme, Ciara said it was universal, stating, "It's about everybody. You'll have songs with different emotions, happy, sad, 'my heart is broken.' What everybody goes through." On her success with the preluding title track, Ciara said, "I'm very content right now. I take everything a day at a time. Every time I hear good news, I'm shouting out, 'Praise God.' Everybody around me is so excited, I still haven't got it. I haven't really felt it like they're feeling it for me."

The album consists of bouncy dance music mixed with crunk, combined with either R&B, pop or hip hop music. and this is contradicted as she hints at teasing sex. incorporating a hip hop and dance pop feel, deriving influences from 1980s electro music. The song's music video, which is similar to that of "Goodies", takes place at a block party, and was nominated for Best R&B Video at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards. In May 2005, Ciara mentioned that the album's fourth single would be "Thug Style" or "Pick Up the Phone" or maybe even "And I". The final choice, "And I", was released on August 30, 2005, and only managed to peak at ninety six on the Billboard Hot 100. The music video for "And I" is loosely based on the 1992 film, The Bodyguard, and NBA player Carmelo Anthony portrayed Ciara's love interest. In December 2005, The Washington Post reported that "Hotline" would be the album's fifth single, but the release failed to materialize.

Goodies debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 124,750 copies in its first week. The album also topped the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart, before being dethroned by the Usher's Confessions. In its second week, the album dropped to number 10 on the chart, selling 66,000 more copies. The album spent a total of 71 weeks on the chart. On October 10, 2006, the album was triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of over three million copies in the United States. As of June 2010, the album has sold 2.7 million copies in the US. In Canada, the album debuted at number 35 on the Canadian Albums Chart. The album was eventually certified platinum by Music Canada for sales of over 100,000 copies in Canada. In the United Kingdom, the album charted at 26 in on the UK Albums Chart, and spent 20 weeks on the chart. The album was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for sales of over 100,000 copies in the UK. In the early and mid 2000s, "Goodies" joined other crunk music hits produced by Lil Jon in climbing to the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 charts, along with "Get Low", "Yeah!" and "Freek a Leek". "Yeah!" and "Goodies" were the first tracks to introduce the substyle of crunk music and contemporary R&B, called crunk&B, to the public. Both of those tracks (performed by Usher and Ciara, respectively) were essential pop hits of 2004. Since then, crunk&B has been one of the most popular genres of sung African American music, along with electropop, the genre that replaced crunk and crunk&B in the charts in 2008. After the album's lead single reached the summit of the US Billboard Hot 100, it spent seven weeks at number one, becoming the longest running number one debut single by a female artist since 1977

The album's lead singles success exemplified urban music's commercial dominance during the early 2000s, which featured massive crossover success on the Billboard charts by R&B and hip hop artists. The work helped Ciara earn several nominations, including Best New Artist at the 48th Annual Grammy Awards. Several Goodies singles received several nominations at different ceremonies, which included "1, 2 Step" being nominated at the 48th Grammy Awards for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. In retrospect of Goodies, Bryson Paul wrote for ThisIsRnB on the album and where it placed Ciara in pop culture. "With the Crunk era at its peak, Ciara added a sexy female perspective to the gritty punk influenced genre, and — along with the likes of fellow ATLien Usher — helped create the subgenre now aptly referred to as Crunk&B. [ ] the young songstress separated herself from an all star pack of new singers that included Rihanna, Ashanti, Nivea and the juggernaut trio, Destiny’s Child. As she rose to the top of the charts, CiCi was often compared to greats ranging as far back as Janet Jackson to the late Aaliyah". He concluded: <blockquote>"Goodies is often referred to as Ciara’s best work and for good reasoning. It was with this album that the return of R&B to Atlanta was pushed further as it served as a solid follow up to the release of Monica’s 2003 “After the Storm” and Usher’s iconic “Confessions” album that was released just months before. And at a decade and a half later, the album still resonates with today’s pop culture. The album’s vibe is one that patents its own signature choreographed flow — both physically and vocally. Displaying perfect sequence, delivery, and explosiveness thanks to the crunk injected 808s, Goodies helped set the standard for a new era of talented R&B stars." He continued, "16 years on, the influence of Goodies can be felt, most notably on the debut single by Normani, Motivation, on which the former Fifth Harmony singer pays homage to Goodies and several other quintessential '90s/'00s music videos in her visual". Several recording artists have also cited singles from Goodies or the album itself as an influence or personal favorite of theirs, such as Normani, Ari Lennox, Latto, Lizzo, Kaash Paige, and Alana Haim.
