Just over a month after the release of her third self-titled album, Aaliyah died at the age of 22 in a plane crash along with nine other people. The shockwaves of sadness only heightened the impact of this record, released on 17 July 2001, which was also graced by the deft and grandiloquent electronic stylings of her producer-mentor Timbaland. From this collaboration were born the timeless singles More Than A Woman, We Need A Resolution and Try Again. But it would be unfair to this record to reduce it to those few strokes of genius, however superb they may be. Other producers like Key Beats, Bud'da, Eric Seats and J-Dub were also architects of this RnB classic. In fact, it was the latter who provided the instrumentation for the track I Refuse, a single that was somewhat forgotten over the years and which stands out for its gravity and tension. Aaliyah's voice is sublime on Rock The Boat, with complex and beautifully mixed harmonies in the tradition of Mariah Carey or Brandy. The singer was killed on her way to the video shoot for the song on 25 August 2001 in Marsh Harbour, in the Bahamas. But the song is full of optimism, sensuality, excellent synthetic arrangements, and it symbolises the artist's thirst for musical discovery. © Brice Miclet/Qobuz
