Time sure flies! This week’s From The Vault salutes a release that tastes as fresh today as it did when it was released two decades ago. Today’s pick is Ciara’s ‘Goodies.’
CiCi’s signature hit turned 20 this week and places into context a career and journey that has gifted the masses so much.
Arriving on June 8 2004 as the singer’s first-ever release and the lead offering from her like-titled debut, the sassy jam continued the early 00s girl power declaration of independence autonomy over self and sensuality.
As would become custom for Ciara, the Jazze Pha-produced track’s accompanying music video proved just as integral to its success. Boasting swag in earnest and choreography aplenty, the Benny Boom-directed visual sold CiCi’s stage blazer status straight out of the gate.
Commercially, the release stands as one of the singer’s most successful, speaking at # on the Billboard Hot 100 and being certified 3x Platinum for US sales of 3 million units.
Here’s toasting a release that continues to resonate to this day.
Too bad she didn’t re-released the album with some unreleased, b-sides and remixes
