Rezension
2005 erschien diese endgültige Compilation mit 25 Titeln, die noch einmal ihr einzigartiges Talent verdeutlichte. Es ist kaum unwahrscheinlich, daß Aaliyah Haughton, wäre sie nicht mit gerade 22 Jahren bei jenem Flugzeugabsturz am 25. August 2001 ums Leben gekommen, die größte von allen im R’n’B geworden wäre, selbst eine Beyoncé überstrahlend. – Erstmals auf Vinyl. (2005/2022)

Das Best-Of neu aufgelegt
20 Jahre sind vergangen, seit Aaliyah, eigentlich Aaliyah Dana Haughton, bei einem tragischen Flugzeugabsturz ums Leben kam. Die US-amerikanische R’n’B-Sängerin und Schauspielerin war damals gerade erst 22 Jahre alt.
Ihren Durchbruch hatte sie mit dem Song »Try Again«, dem Titellied für den Film »Romeo Must Die«, in dem sie auch die weibliche Hauptrolle spielt.
Im Laufe ihrer Karriere veröffentlichte Aaliyah drei Studioalben. Mit weltweit über 30 Millionen verkauften Tonträgern gehört sie heute immer noch zu den erfolgreichsten R’n’B-Künstlerin der letzten 30 Jahre, war und ist Vorbild für viele Künstler dieses Genres. Bereits im Jahr 2005 erschien mit »Ultimate Aaliyah« ein umfangreiches Best-of der Sängerin mit zwei CDs. Die erste CD ist eine Greatest-Hits-Kollektion, die alle wichtigen US-Hits von Aaliyah (in ihren LP-Versionen) und zwei ihrer kleineren UK-Hits enthält. Die zweite CD trägt den Titel »Are You Feelin’ Me?« und enthält Material aus Soundtracks und Studioalben ihres Labelkollegen und Freundes Timbaland.
Erstmals auf Vinyl.
