About

Released in 2001, Aaliyah’s self-titled third album marked her true arrival. Five years following the singer’s 1996 hit <i>One in a Million</i>, the Detroit-raised singer—warmly christened the “Princess of R&B”—locked in with songwriter Static Major and mega-producer Timbaland to flip the genre on its head, and cement her legacy. Work on the album had begun as far back as 1998, but thanks to her budding acting career—which included roles in the films <i>Queen of the Damned</i> and <i>Romeo Must Die</i>—the singer recorded in fits and stop. But <i>Aaliyah</i> arrived at the perfect time: The album was her most ambitious yet—a record that helped push forward R&B’s mainstream takeover through experimental instrumentation and pop infusion. It was also, sadly, the last album to be released during her lifetime, as the 22-year-old died in a plane crash just two months after <i>Aaliyah</i>’s debut. .
