Album Spotlight: Aaliyah - One In A Million

-
For Aaliyah's second album; "One In A Million" she hooked up with the then unknown production team of Missy Elliott and Timbaland. While Timbaland supplied the beats; Missy wrote the songs. The album resulted in a 17 song collection of songs that deal with everything you would come to expect of any R&B album in the late 90s era. This album was released in 1996 during the time there was no Brandy or Monica album on shelves. It gave Aaliyah a great time to reintroduce not only herself but Timbaland and Aaliyah.

The album took a minute to catch on but once it finally did; it took off in a really big way. There were the singles; the sassy; "If Your Girl Only Knew" and the slow groove; "One In A Million". There are a lot of fun songs here and they are all very memorable.

Some of my favorite songs are "A Girl Like You" featuring Treach of Naughty By Nature; "Giving You More"; and "I Got'cha Back". Just thinking about these songs recalls many memories for me. Lately I have been listening to a lot of older albums in my collection and it is time I dust this one off and play it again.

Many people are aware of this album especially after Aaliyah's passing in 2001. Aaliyah was always someone ahead of her time and this album is proof of that. If you haven't heard this album; you should check it out!

You all, my readers, my visitors; my supporters; you have made this post one of the most successful posts on my blog. I kept wondering what it was about this post, that made it so successful; one word: JANET! The fact that Janet has new music on the way makes this post even more of a hot topic. As its been said before, no one sings about sex quite like Janet Jackson. Her songs, ooze with the right amount of sexuality perfect for a night of steamy sex. Take a look back at a number of songs Janet is responsible for delivering her in trademark breathy delivery. I took the liberty of adding a few other songs that didn't make the list before.  "Warmth" This song begins with echos of Janet saying "...in my mouth". By then you should already know what this song is about. Janet sings about the "warmth" of her mouth and how she pleases her lover; Jermaine Dupri at the time. This is a very sensual song and it is one of the most explicit Janet has ever record...
