Title: The Evolution
Review: Artists seem to worship the word "Evolution" as it not only appears to be the title of Ciara's new album but also Robin Thicke's latest album. Ciara's "Evolution" is like Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation". It is somewhat formatted like the classic 1989 album. Ciara, clearly influenced by Jackson has done what she does best..make dance music. Dance music that goes hard with vocals that are easy on the ears. Ciara's obvious influence, Jackson can be recalled on the breezy Rodney Jerkins produced, Make It Last Forever. The song is one of the albums many highlights. The hook and melody is pure pop perfection. I could see this as a future single. Unlike Jackson, Ciara doesn't stick to just one in-house producer as she did with her previous album, Goodies. Ciara hauls in big name producers such as the aforementioned Jerkins, The Neptunes, will-i-am, and Sean Garrett to name a few. All of this makes for one of the more enjoyable discs of 2006.Personal Highlights include:Tracks 4-18*****
