You have to react to the music video of ''We Need A Resolution'',''Rock The Boat'',''More Than A Woman'' and ''Try Again'', it's her best music videos 🔥
Aaliyah has a posthumous album that released in 2002 (it was released after she passed) titled “ I Care 4 U” & it includes 6 new songs “ Don’t Know what to tell ya” “all I need” “Miss you” “Don’t worry” “ Come Over” & “Erica Kane” a couple of these songs will definitely be your favorite Aaliyah songs, u should check it out
Try Again was a #1 hit for Aaliyah on Billboard Hot 100, the first single to become #1 based solely on airplay. It was added as a bonus to the "Aaliyah" album on international editions. It was written by Static Major (R.I.P.) who was a part of Da Bassment crew, a member of the r&b group "Playa" and the featured artist on Lil Wayne's hit "Lollipop". He also wrote most of the songs on the "Aaliyah" album which was also called the Red Album. I had a version of the "Aaliyah" album when it first came out, with a bonus song called "Messed Up" that you can react to if you'd like. I like "Read Between the Lines", it's one of my favs off the album. Aaliyah in a magazine spoke about how she wanted to do a remix/video to that song with a Latin singer like Ricky Martin (who was popular at the time). "I Can Be" was written by r&b singer "Tank", and Aaliyah said she sang it with a ting of sadness to show that the woman in the song is not entirely okay with being the woman on the side even though she puts up that front. Aaliyah wanted to make an album that covered all aspects of relationships: the good, the bad, and the ugly. She wanted to do a world tour for this album but unfortunately due to her passing she never got a chance to. Please react to more r&b albums like: Playa - Cheers 2 U, Tank - Sex, Love, and Pain, Brandy - Full Moon (which was inspired by this album) and Brandy - Never Say Never (which was inspired by the One In A Million album).
The is definitely Aaliyah at her best(this is her most critically acclaimed album). Sonically, visually and lyrically it’s her best, I think “One in a Million is more the easier listen for lovers of traditional R&B, this album isn’t that…it has more variety and color.
Very well said! “OIAM” is my favorite of hers & favorite album of all time but i objectively believe her self titled album is better! But….. if “I care 4 u” was on OIAM like it was originally intended to be & if they added “No Days go by” like it was supposed to be too then I’d probably feel differently!
@@_Shaquille_ honestly I’m glad she saved “I Care 4 U” for this album after doing some research I don’t think she ever recorded it originally she just held on to the demo so that no one else could use it (from my understanding Gina Thompson did the demo). I think Aaliyah may have recorded it when she recorded the Tim tracks for the red album in early “01” I could be wrong don’t quote me (because engineer Jimmy Douglas said Aaliyah wanted Static to do backgrounds on that record but something came up and he couldn’t do it( he wasn’t around in the OIAM sessions), so she did it herself) he also stated that the recording process between OIAM to Aaliyah was very different, she was different( a grown woman that wasn’t a teen girl anymore who became more aware and more vocal) and he didn’t know how to quite take it, he also said she always wanted Static in the room( they become somewhat of a unit). Her voice become thicker and fuller, her adlibs and harmonies were also much more cleaner than the OIAM era, way more confident.
Yes that's exact, Timbaland Missy and Aaliyah had a falling out just some weeks before she passed, because of Barry Hankerson (the uncle of Aaliyah and also the owner of Blackground Records, where artists like Timbaland, Missy Elliott were also signed). Static Major contributed significantly to Aaliyah's work, with the "Aaliyah" album initially intended to feature his compositions exclusively (even Aaliyah wanted an album with Missy and Timbaland, but it was more complicated due to the relations with Barry). However, Barry enlisted Timbaland to produce two tracks ("More than a Woman," "We Need a Resolution") when the album was nearly complete. Static crafted a unique style for Aaliyah, resulting in many excellent songs, Static was very talented. "Try Again," also writted by Static Major, wasn't included in the original album release. It was released in 2000 with a music video, coinciding with Aaliyah's role in "Romeo Must Die," for which the song was made. This album is somewhat experimental, with tracks like "I Can Be" or "What If" blending rock and R&B, haha. Aaliyah enjoyed that kind of music, which is why they included this two songs. Aaliyah didn't change her style overnight. transitioning from "One In a Million" to "Aaliyah" might seem a bit abrupt for you without having listened to all the music she made between the two albums, She has a lot of great songs outside of her albums that i'm sure you can like, like "Are You That Somebody" for exemple, and many other Timbaland productions. It would be interesting to see your reaction to the music videos from this album ("We Need a Resolution," "More than a Woman," "Rock the Boat," "Try Again"), and also "Are You That Somebody." On "I Care 4 U," there are many songs you haven't heard yet. It would be intriguing to see your reaction to her first album as well. You'll see the evolution of her style across the three albums, haha. Maybe your rates are a little low for some songs, it's a really good album, but i can understand you're not used to this side of Aaliyah style, i'm sure you will like more some songs after listen it again lol and after listen the leftover tracks that are not on the album. In the era and style of ''One In A Million'' with Timbaland productions you have : Playa - Cheers 2 U, Timbaland and Magoo - Welcome To Our World, Ginuwine - 100% Ginuwine (who contain a lot of songs that Aaliyah declined), Ginuwine - Bachelor.. etc
Also as far as the sound of this album it had elements of: R&B, neo soul, dance-pop, funk, hip hop, alternative rock, electronica, Detroit techno, industrial rock, Middle-Eastern influences, and Latin music. Timbaland was supposed to produce the entire album but due to the fallout with Aaliyah and Blackground records, only 3 songs of his songs ended up on the album. I like this album a lot, but I do wonder how it would have sounded with Timbaland taking the wheel.
You have to react to the music video of ''We Need A Resolution'',''Rock The Boat'',''More Than A Woman'' and ''Try Again'', it's her best music videos 🔥

"I Can Be"....is 🔥. It sounds so good on nice sound system.
One In A Million is a more traditional R&B album this album is Aaliyah pushing musical boundaries.
Exactly.
