Ciara 'Goodies' 20th Anniversary Reissue Removes R. Kelly, Seemingly Adds Windows Pop-Up Sound

To celebrate 20 years since the release of Goodies on September 28, 2004, Ciara has reissued the album via Legacy Recordings. On both the vinyl and digital editions, R. Kelly's feature on "Next to You" has been removed in light of his numerous convictions for sex trafficking, racketeering, child pornography and the like.

In addition to the two bonus tracks and Dipha Barus remix of "Goodies," however, there has another less-intentional change to the vinyl pressings. People on TikTok who purchased the hot pink 2LP reissue have noted that Ciara's Missy Elliott-featuring hit "1, 2 Step" now also seemingly features the unmistakable Microsoft Windows pop-up sound.

While the beat-switch certainly feels era-appropriate, it's probably a mistake. Either way, it's pretty funny, and makes me think of Kelly Rowland texting in Excel in the music video for Nelly's "Dilemma." The early-aughts were a simpler time.
