and The song is also quite long, but ever second is worth the listen. However, unlike her stellar vocal performance on "I Care 4 U", Aaliyah "dumbs down" her vocals, and holds back on her vocal abilities. Aaliyah talks about she's tired of letting her man break her heart. The piano is just beautiful, and Aaliyah's voice is beautiful. It reminds you of the legend of sleepy hollow (the headless horseman). This is arguably her most crafty song off the album. The beat is unique, and the hook is great. Aaliyah tells her Boyfriend she's tired of his bull. She comes with attitude, but stil plays it cool. In This song, Aaliyah channels her biggest idol, Janet Jackson. The album would have been MUCH better without this song. I think this song is considered "filler". Aaliyah fuses hip hop and latin/salsa music in this one. 4/5Īaliyah talks about confronting a cheating man. The song is cool, but the hook is kinda weak. The song talks about A man trying to get at Aaliyah, but he's trying to hard to be smooth. The beat is hot, and it has seductive lyrics. This is an upbeat song, and it's the perfect way to get the party back started after the two previous ballads. This ballad is just beautiful, and it was also Aaliyah's favorite off the album. Alot of older people fall in love with this song and Aaliyah proves that her voice is far more stronger than that of Janet Jackson or Ciara. Aaliyah talks about caring for a man if he is heartbroken. This song has a classic feel, like the temptations or some other music band from the 50's. This is the only song Missy Elliot penned for the album, sadly. I love the beat, and the bridge is the best part. Aaliyah tackles physical abuse in relationships in this one. Aaliyah is telling her lover not to underestimate her. again, Timbaland samples some arabic beats. It's like the sequel to the 2000 hit "Try Again". It's her biggest hit off the album (overseas). If Aaliyah was going for high album sales, this should have been the first single. ![]() If there is ever a way talking about sex in a classy way, Aaliyah does it and does it well. "work the middle, change postiions." Aaliyah is telling her man how to work the bedroom. why wouldnt it be? It's smooth, sensual, and sexy as hell. This song is the biggest single off the album (in the states). Aaliyah plays it cool, telling her haters she's not worried about them in the least thought. In this song, Aaliyah and her songriter Static (who was also her temporary Boyfriend) adresses people that were hating on her and her music camp. This song is the most interesting, the beat sounds like something from TLC's "fanmail" album. Aaliyah never really followed trends and she always put her craft before her sales. I can see why it didnt fair well on the charts. ![]() While 2001 was an era of happy go lucky music full or r & b singers and rapper cameos, Aaliyah takes a different route and comes with a gothic arabic song. The songs talks about problems in a relationship. Lets break each song down.Īh, the first track and first single off the album. A bulk of this album was produced by underground, lesser known producers and songwriters. For one, she only has THREE tracks (four if you include Try Again) That has been produced by Timbaland and only one that was penned my Missy Elliot. On her 3rd Disc, Aaliyah takes a more mature sound, and also a more mature and sexier image.Īaliyah was a risk taker. I loved all of her work since her last album, One In A Million. Let me start this off by saying, Im a huge Aaliyah fan.
