Jackie: The Album Vol. 2

Product Information

The album was further promoted by a second single, " Dance like We're Making Love", and Ciara embarked upon the Jackie Tour. This success, however well deserved, can sometimes overshadow the long career of a performer who was one of the most important artists in the development of soul music. The album was not commercially successful, charting for two weeks on the Billboard Top LPs with a peak position of 196, [3] but critics have generally appraised it favorably. This 3 CD box set features 68 tracks from various artists, including David Cassidy and Donny Osmond.

Before, I would have said ' Goodies' was my favorite album, but now I believe 'Jackie' is my best body of work. Ciara also spoke about the overall themes of the album, commenting: "Not every song on this album is super autobiographical, but at the heart of it all, it talks about things that are real. It was preceded by the release of the lead single, " I Bet", which debuted at number 96 on the US Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 43. Nolan Feeney of Time noted that "'Jackie' rivals 2013's self-titled quasi-comeback as Ciara's most consistent and self-assured record to date.

Following the announcement that "Dance like We're Making Love" would serve as the album's second single, "Give Me Love" was given an official US urban contemporary impact date of June 9, 2015.

Following their very public break-up, Ciara's album release was further postponed to 2015, [6] and during this time the singer "quietly" recorded new music, while concentrating on motherhood.

Following her departure from her previous record label, Ciara signed a new deal with Epic Records, and released her self-titled fifth studio album in July 2013. In an accompanying essay, Gavin Edwards said Atlantic's repeated attempt to "take an accomplished pop chanteuse and let her make a lush Southern soul album" may not have had the commercial impact of Dusty in Memphis, "but it was almost as stunning.At the end of the day genres and labels are insignificant when it comes to a man like Jackie Wilson. Dan Weiss of Spin found out that "the strong-heeled 'Jackie' is far from conservative, and possibly more daring, with three of the year's best songs at the very top, middle, and bottom ('Jackie [B. Fly" has "'80s electro sample" and a "zwurpingly odd Squarepusher chords", [25] with lyrics where Ciara insists that both her and a former lover should find happiness elsewhere.

Writing for New York Daily News, Jim Farber claimed that the album "features the most upbeat, and fun, music of Ciara's career.

Despite a couple of humdrum country soul songs on the first side", Christgau highlighted DeShannon's original compositions – "Vanilla O'Lay" and "Anna Karina" – as well as her cover of the 1971 Alice Stuart song "Full Time Woman".

Even though there has been musical and personal growth, this album really takes me back in time, to when I didn’t overthink the creative process. In September 2013, producer Mike WILL Made-It revealed that Ciara had begun work on her sixth studio album. AllMusic's Joe Viglione later said Jackie generally plays in the "adult contemporary folk" genre and, while Wexler, Mardin, and Dowd keep DeShannon in a relatively restrained musical space, "her voice is in great shape, and the music is created with loving care, making for a satisfying chapter in the singer's impressive body of work.
