Aaliyah, Aaliyah (2001)
Aaliyah's finest album was released just after her untimely death in 2001. Aaliyah (the album) has no shortage of great songs, and the magnificent production by Timbaland doesn't hurt either.
Aaliyah brings her typical R&B subject matter on things like love and pain with songs like the stand outs I Care 4 U and More Than a Woman which were chart toppers for weeks. Pop this one into your player and you can be promised the fruits of the long, hard hours Aaliyah must have put in the studio to get these results. From the very first song, We Need a Resolution, you'll be singing (or humming if you're singing impaired) along. This has got to be one of the better contemporary R&B albums ever and I am positive there were, and will be, many a new person conceived while their parents were listening!
On Extra Smooth, Aaliyah relates to us about overly suave men trying too hard to push up, saying "coming on strong, six pack showing/ he's too cool for his own shoes/ nothing rude but way to sure for me" Okay, I get the message shawty (good thing I didn't opt for the six-pack)!
All tolled, Aaliyah is hands down a great R&B LP.
Rating: 9 Platinum Teefs
Buy or Copy: This is definately a buy! If you don't buy it for the love of the music, then get it for the absolutely gorgeous pictures of Aaliyah on the insert.
