Product Information

Writing for Rolling Stone in August 1972, Stephen Holden said, "I've always liked Jackie DeShannon's singing — a gently throat-catching but never maudlin style — though on record after record her talent seemed too often to be thrown away on inferior songs with shlock arrangements.

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. Idolator's Christina Lee echoed the same sentiment, stating: "Instead of expanding on how her life has changed, though, Jackie finds Ciara settling into her comfort zone.

Recording and production [ edit ] The Record Plant (Hollywood, California) was one of the studios where the album was recorded.These songs are good fun, though they aren’t as revelatory or forward-thinking as ‘Body Party’ or the rest of 2013's Ciara, the best album she's made. There is a particularly harrowing piece of programming on Disc One with Billy Don't Be a Hero followed by Seasons in the Sun, only the brave can endure without a lump in the throat and something unexpecetedly aggravating the tear ducts. While finding the fashionable cover songs relatively inessential, he believed DeShannon was compelled to sing better on the more rhythmic productions and that her own written songs remain the LP's essential performances. It was rumoured that Luke produced two songs, "Dance like We're Making Love" and "Give Me Love," [4] which was later confirmed.

Lullaby" contains elements of " Love, Need and Want You" written by Kenneth Gamble and Bunny Sigler and contains samples and portions of " Dilemma" written by Cornell Haynes Jr. 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". On January 14, 2015, Ciara announced the title of her album would be "Jackie" via her official Twitter account.
