The way life goes...

Review Score: (10/10)
Sad and weird it is, but the fact is that I hadn't bothered listening to Aaliyah before. All I knew was that she had starred in "Romeo Must Die" alongside Jet Li.

Now, I found out this morning she had been killed in a plane crash yesterday, in the Bahamas. So I figured: let me see who this girl really was!

And I saw myself listening to her music, to be gladly surprised that she's not the common type of R&B act at all: she died at 22, so that makes this 1994 album a remarkable feature, having recorded it age 14! If you listen to the sample tracks above, you'll be as amazed as I continue to be...

I know her music will live in the hearts of all her fans, and will continue to gain the respect she well deserved. The biggest irony of all is that barely a month ago, her new album had hit the stores, one which the majority of the public reviewers here in Amazon have termed 'more mature' and 'eclectic'.

R.I.P. Aaliyah
