She has already jammed with Gladys Knight in Las Vegas, eloped with influential R&B mogul R. Kelly, and scored two platinum albums--and she's just barely graduated from high school. No, she is not your average teenager, nor is she just another pretty soul singer. On One in a Million, Aaliyah expands on the smooth grooves of her massively successful debut album Age Ain't Nothing but a Number, and shows that all the life experiences have not gone to waste. The production and songwriting talents of Tim 'Timbaland' Mosley and rapper Missy Elliot give the songs on One In A Million a seductive edge with laidback grooves and cool hip-hop licks; but what really makes this album rise above is the full-grown singer at the controls. On the title track, a magical ballad, Aaliyah casts a cool spell with layered voices and a smoky delivery. With the assistance of Slick Rick, she turns Marvin Gaye's "Got To Give It Up" into a funky hip-hop jam for the end of the millennium. While with "4 Page Letter," one of the album's high points, she intricately details the end of love affair. Artists twice her age could only hope to create a work of such clarity and resonance. --Aidin Vaziri

This album is Hot Like Fire February 6, 2010
I'm sixteen years old and love all kinds of music. Aaliyah is one of my favorite singers and I find it such a tragedy that a talented beauty had passed so soon. I remember being six when I heard about her death, close to 9-11, which shows that 2001 wasn't a good year. I loved We Need A Revolution and listened to it whenever it came on the radio. When I heard she died, I wondered who she was when it showed her singing the song for We Need A Revolution. I was upset because I knew we wouldn't have an artist as a good as her. The first CD of Aaliyah I got was Age Aint' Nothing But A Number which is a combination of hip-hop and R&B. The album cover showed her with sunglasses and baggy clothing. It showed she was young and just getting into the music business. Her follow up CD One In A Million was in my opinion better than the first CD. Her album cover on One In A Million was a contrast from the first one. She was still wearing those glasses, but something about the album cover looked more mature than the first one. Despite her only being seventeen, she was the most mature teenager out there with her songs on the CD. I would recommend this album to eclectic music lovers and people who love old school hip-hop and R&B.
The key tracks are:
One In A Million
Girl Like You
If Your Girl Only Knew
Got To Give It Up
4 Page Letter
One I Gave My Heart To
Never Giving Up
Everything's Gonna Be Alright
Hot Like Fire (Album Version)

This is the UK 1996 Recording by Blackground Records done in Snapper Edition Digi-pak style. This R&B album is one of the best; it's a one in a million experience from a one in a million artist! The Snapper Classics Edition replaces the standard jewel case for the digi-pak opens up with beautiful white and black lettering CD disc artwork and fold out flaps on each side with diverse photos on each flip. This music is timeless, classic and definitely masterful in sound. Aaliyah did this album with her new management featuring key players like Timbaland, Missy Elliott, and Jermaine Dupri to name a few. Song-writing including Diane Warren, Missy Elliott, and Rodney Jerkins to name a few. This was a phenomenal direction definitely a path for more street R&B hip-hop mixes for others to copy, imitate, or just embrace!
This album has a nice R&B/street style blend of smooth styles meshed with dark styles nicely portraying a mixture of themes relating to love and romance as well as the heartbreak that goes with it and how to feel strong and uplifted! Regardless of my moods I find this album to get me going. It is the type to fit any one particular feeling. Aaliyah's vocals are soft, soothing at times and emotionally "on fire" on others. The beauty in her style is the uniqueness of how she sings behind the music without being lost but complimenting the vibe --very R&B, and very addictive!
The songs flow nicely bringing positive sensations on tracks like "Everything's Gonna Be Alright", and "Never Givin' Up". One of my favorite songs would have to be "Choosey Lover (Old School/New School)" for the lyrical song writing, catchy beats, and emotions displayed. "Heartbroken" is also a nice track displaying how being taken for granted is not the way to go. She sounds so sincere and so profound as if she were experiencing it. Another favorite would have to be, "Never Comin' Back" as it shows strength despite adversity; truly empowering for sure! The last 2 songs definitely end it nicely bringing deep felt lyrics and singing on "The One I Gave My Heart To" and some hip-hop flair on "Came To Give Love (Outro)" with references of spreading love, getting the party people waving their hands and doing "the rodeo".
All the songs are excellent as there are no fillers to bore or make a person fall asleep. This has a romantic vibe easing to get the stress removed if you have or to feel at ease. The singing is soft yet powerful with no shouts, harshness to the ears, or annoying yells. She sounds like a sensational R&B artist like no other. The catchy synths, drums, and background production is most definitely a plus and to be recognized as spectacular too. New listeners get music that will never loose its power or effect; this is a phenomenal album worth the price!
This won't disappoint, get to hear music with emotional depth, class, R&B 100% and a passionate artist who gave it her all and went even further proving she is ONE IN A MILLION no matter how much time has passed. Aaliyah is here in spirit, soul, and energy; let's keep her memory strong, alive, and cherished!

I AM SURE WE ALL MISS AALIYAH. IT WAS JUST A TOTAL LOSS FOR ALL OF US WHEN SHE PASSED. BUT SHE HAD THE CREATIVITY , HER OWN STYLE AND HER OWN SOUND. NO ONE CAN BE LIKE HER. THIS CD IS GREAT.
