Our Take
Our Take
Aaliyah's self-titled album, "Aaliyah," is like a whirlwind tour of the late '90s R&B scene, complete with sultry hooks and smooth, intricate vocal runs. The album effortlessly glides between slinky slow jams and upbeat dancefloor fillers, showcasing Aaliyah's versatility as a performer.
Tracks like "We Need a Resolution" and "More Than a Woman" showcase Aaliyah at her most confident and seductive, while "Rock the Boat" and "I Care 4 U" demonstrate her ability to convey raw emotion through her silky vocals. The production on the album is top-notch, with Timbaland's signature beats providing the perfect backdrop for Aaliyah's honeyed voice.
One of the standout moments on the album is the haunting ballad "Try Again," which perfectly captures the ethereal quality that made Aaliyah such a unique talent. The album may be over 20 years old, but it still sounds fresh and innovative, a testament to Aaliyah's timeless appeal.
In conclusion, "Aaliyah" is a classic of the R&B genre, showcasing not only Aaliyah's incredible vocal prowess but also her ability to push the boundaries of the genre. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to her music, this album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates soulful, innovative music. 9.5/10

From her smooth vocals to her effortlessly cool style, she captivated audiences worldwide with her unique sound and undeniable presence. With her groundbreaking debut album "Age Ain't Nothing But a Number" at just 15 years old, Aaliyah proved that she was a force to be reckoned with. Hits like "Back & Forth" and "At Your Best (You Are Love)" showcased her soulful voice and set the stage for her future success. But it was her collaboration with super producer Timbaland on her sophomore album "One in a Million" that truly solidified her status as a musical icon. The futuristic beats and infectious melodies of songs like "Try Again" and "Are You That Somebody?" pushed the boundaries of R&B and cemented Aaliyah's place in music history. Tragically taken from us too soon in a plane crash at just 22 years old, Aaliyah's legacy continues to live on through her timeless music and influence on future generations of artists.

Her music remains as fresh and relevant today as it was when it first hit the airwaves, a testament to her enduring talent and undeniable charisma.
