ithinkheknowsoutsold Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 Such a good album, Overdose is one of her best songs and I think it could've been a huge hit for her had it been promoted better
professor2000 Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 It’s crazy seeing how much y’all liked this album…I swear ppl hated it when it was first released I like her debut better (prob cause of nostalgia), but this album was good too.

She was serving quality, hunger, versatility and ambition. The first two albums had some amazing singles but were FULL of fillers (excluding her best song Thug Style). We do not stan numbers in this house People dragged her for the Fantasy Ride rollout but it was so ambitious to do a triple album. It ended up being a really special album imo. Her second album I agree was mostly filler with some killer singles like Promise. I still love that when everyone was dragging her for flopping and spending her own money on MVs she served this which imo is SO underrated and an absolute serve of an MV: 1

I stanned hard when this came out. I miss hungry Ciara. Basic Instinct is by far her most underrated album. What happened with it was solely due to the label dissolving at the time. Unlike her other flops where she was also to blame to varying extents, she got everything right for Basic Instinct. The music was hot, the street hype was there and she was giving serve after serve out of her own pocket or on a shoe-string budget (Ride cost less than a WorldStarHipHop production). Her label just kept pushing the album back and letting things leak. Ride was a big hit for her and they did nothing. 1
WEEKND Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 Living it up should have been a single “Thats why this lil trini girl gets the top checks” A whole bop

collin Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 Her best and one of the best albums of the 2010s, it deserved to be huge.

I don’t know how she went from this to everything that came after. Especially Jackie being half rejects from One Woman Army. What even was that i am still beyond mad they ended the era shortly after Overdose was announced a single. I loved that song already when we only had the snipped a year prior I wore out that Overdose snippet. It turned me into a stan back then. It deserved a music video at least. 1
KLatz Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 I constantly go between this and Fantasy Ride, but I think this might be my favorite CiCi album It gave everything you could want from Ciara as an artist and was filled with smashes I just wish we got promo and a video for Overdose because that is one of my favorite pop songs ever
HASHTAGPOW Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 Not releasing Overdose is still a mystery to me 1

Can’t really push a song titled Overdose when you’re about to be a new mom. The other options wouldn’t have worked either— Super Turnt Up? Livin It Up was an option but two Nicki feature singles back to back is weird.
Jay L Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 Ciara delivered with this one definitely one of, if not her best album. Body Party and I'm Out no skips on this album tbh

Then it kept getting delayed every other week. It was hard being a Ciara stan from 2008 - 2012.
KING ACE Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) Why does she ignore this album? She doesn’t even acknowledge this project at all. I’m confused, 10 year anniversary and it’s silent on her end. This was the last album i like from her. She is so disconnected from her fans, why doesnt she make like this anymore?

bestfiction Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 I used to play this album a lot. Lemme revisit it today!
Theshigo Washidu Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 Truly her best album. Future may be a mess, but he definitely had her in the right lane musically.

What do you mean by this? I dont think he contributed much or anything at all Anyway, I wonder why she doesn't Go back in this lane? Clearly pop isn't for her.........well it could be but she doesn't have a good ear for pop hits Edited July 10, 2023 by KING ACE
