At your best you are love!
Excuse us while we sit in our feeelings a little after watching this beautiful serenade by the multi talented Mya.
#ESSENCEFEST
This is our tribute to the legacy of Aaliyah Dana Haughton.
Let’s take it back to 1994, when we first met Baby Girl.
To begin this celebration and give our flowers to a true icon, Mýa takes the stage to perform the song that introduced Aaliyah to the world: “Back & Forth.”
#ESSENCEFEST
I’m PROUD of these women: Normani, RyanDestiny, Mya, ChloeBailey, & Seyvn. With less than a week of rehearsal, they were committed & Focused on this Aaliyah tribute. #Fatima, who was behind all the original moves, worked with each of the girls tirelessly. The original band members who played for Aaliyah also came together for this moment, along with some of her original dancers🕺🏼Nisan, Mona, Blair, Tia, Marley, Derrick, Pavlo, Karl kani, Roger & Aylx. The entire team you are so APPRECIATED for your hard work! 🙌🏾
We wanted to use the original content from the original videos, but we do not own it unfortunately🙏🏾 Again, thank you to everyone involved for giving their all. 🫶🏾@Essence much love to you all🙏🏾
Thank you @RAD_6, for just being Amazing🙏🏾
Aaliyah, you are FOREVER LOVED! It’s only 1 of YOU🫶🏾
25 years ago, Aaliyah released her self-titled third and final album.
Known to fans as The Red Album, the project marked a more mature, futuristic chapter in her artistry and helped define the sound of R&B in the new millennium. ❤️
