Ciara Princess Harris (born Oct 25, 1985) is an American singer, songwriter and dancer who broke through in the mid-2000s with the debut album Goodies and hits such as "Goodies" and "1, 2 Step."

Frequently described in reviews as a protégé of Missy Elliott and once nicknamed the "Princess of Crunk"; notable collaborations referenced in reviews include Missy Elliott, Justin Timberlake and Nicki Minaj. Early commercial success (Goodies, The Evolution) followed by less successful later albums (Fantasy Ride, Basic Instinct); the single "Body Party" was noted in reviews as a potential comeback signal.

DeBaser's reviews portray Ciara as a 2000s R&B/crunk figure with early commercial highs and later struggles. The Evolution and the debut Goodies are framed as highlights; later albums are described as commercial failures. Reviews express cautious hope around the single "Body Party."

For:Fans of 2000s R&B, crunk-influenced pop, and mainstream dance-R&B

 The figure of Ciara is an authentic monument to a trend that comes and goes over the span of a few years, a fashion, a flicker that will hardly be able to rise again after its tragic departure from the spotlight and the charts.

 A string of indigestible commercial failures is certainly a bitter pill to swallow, but sometimes a meal of strychnine in the form of low chart positions and skeletal sales can precede a sweet recovery.
