She was innovative, futuristic, and effortlessly cool. We never got to see her fully mature as an artist, which adds to her overall mystique. Aaliyah choosing Missy & Timbaland to work with in 1996 also reshaped the sound of R&B as we know it TODAY.
she’s still more relevant than a lot of your favs living and breathing today— not just because she passed, but because her music, style, and aura was that innovative.
There’s PLENTY of artists who died and we barely speak on them— but she’s different. She’ll forever make bitches seethe and pressed because she’s the mf QUEEN. 🕊️
