Seven years after her debut at just 15 years old, Aaliyah assembled a third studio album that was astonishingly mature.Instead, this collection is an extraordinary romantic exposition of passion and pain.Minnie Riperton, exploring the pains of moving from child star to adult sex symbol.Aaliyah's own instinct for seduction.Timbaland, who contributes just three cuts.Kelly, it appeared that Aaliyah was more than able to go it alone.With expert guidance, it's simple!Click on a tag to find related items, discussions, and people.Why not be the first to suggest a search for which it should appear?The easiest way to shoot video reviews.Aaliyah's third and sadly last album is one that took me by surprise.As well as several amazingly listenable uptempo tracks, their were some really lovely ballads.The song sounds so sad, and her voice is so beautiful and fits perfectly.Well done Aaliyah, may you rest in peace.Your vote will be counted and will appear on the product page within 24 hours."After not playing this for over a year, the fact has been proven true that only time can tell whether an album is more than just good but memorable and this is definitely, and without doubt, the latter.Aaliyah may not have had a huge vocal range but I don't necessarily feel that that's what makes someone a great singer anyway.You can wail as high as you want and have no emotion whatsoever but there's something special about Aaliyah that I find to be very compelling.The only reason I drop a star is because many of the slower tracks are, in my opinion, far too sappy for my tastes...Even if this isn't your thing, you just might be surprised and actually enjoy this.Was this review helpful to you?Ever since she was 15, Aaliyah Haughton has been bringing us the hits, whether they were spawned by R Kelly or Timbaland.Missy Elliott and others have always made contributions to Aaliyah's songs as well.For Aaliyah, that change has come now.Timbaland has Aaliyah as her old self and the results are excellent.Then, out of nowhere, Aaliyah pulls a 360 on everything and she sounds like a very mature 22 year old that has got a grip on her womanhood and everything around her and wants people to see that through her music.It just appears that she is in control of this entire project and not even Timbaland's beats will outshine her.Static of the group Playa does the majority of the writing.Aaliyah telling us a tale about a guy that is trying to get with her that is spittin' the same lines that any other man may say to her at any given time.To the fans of Aaliyah's previous CDs, you might not like this CD or it will take you a while to appreciate this, so it may have to grow on you.CD to Aaliyah fans.Was this review helpful to you?See all 575 customer reviews...ITS NOT ONLY MY FAVORITE AALIYAH ALBUM.ITS MY FAVORITE OUT OF MY TOP FIVE ALBUMS.AALIYAH WAS TOTALLY HERSELF ON THIS ALBUM.Aaliyah at her best
