Aaliyah was becoming more than an R&B star. She was on her way to becoming a global entertainer.
From Romeo Must Die to winning two MTV VMAs for “Try Again,” she was breaking into new territory. Her self-titled 2001 album pushed R&B into a futuristic sound that would influence generations, while “Rock the Boat” earned her another Grammy nomination.
She had acting, music, and a global audience ahead of her. At just 22, Aaliyah was only getting started. 🕊️
