I remember seeing "Try again" on a hotel tv in Las Vegas back to back with D'angelo's "untitled" and thinking: r&b is going to be something to watch for the next few years. And it was true--for a while.

in retrospect, it's striking how she has not in fact been replaced by anyone. you can see/hear her influence all over the place (ciara, cassie, etc.) but if anything a little distance makes her seem more distinctive. and boy do her records still sound good.

recently i read some random last.fm user claiming that the baby sample on "are you that somebody" was from a home video of aaliyah herself at 18 months. i hope that's true!

i remember exactly where i was when i found out - hmv oxford, in the dvd aisle. on the phone to a friend who also loved aaliyah. had to take a moment in a quiet corner of the shop.

I was in Germany, getting ready to leave Luebbeck to head for Luzern, Switzerland on tour with the BSO; the only people in the choir who even knew who she was were me, my wife, and a friend we'd made before joining the chorus who encouraged us to audition.

OK, I'd never heard "Don't Know What To Tell Ya" before and this is pretty awesome, but it's still pretty weird to rep for a random German edition of the album with a few bonus tracks when the original LP is great as is
