Hasta La Ideas

Aaliyah’s catalogue continues to be released on streaming services and physically, and her stunning third (and final) album, Aaliyah, is available for pre-order on vinyl now. The 2001 record (with production by Timbaland, Bud’da, J. Dub, Rapture and Eric Seats) features elements of various genres, all buoyed by Aaliyah’s featherweight, silken vocals. Recorded mostly at Sony Studios in NYC and Sing Sing Studios in Melbourne, Australia, the album features some of the artist’s best-loved songs including “Rock The Boat” and “More Than a Woman,” with its squelchy bass effects and soaring digital strings. This re-release will also include “Try Again,” the lead single from the Romeo Must Die soundtrack, that initially was only included on the European and Japanese versions.
