Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Serving as both a greatest hits collection and a summary of stuff she'd been working on before her August 2001 death, I Care 4 U is a keen reminder of just how talented the 22-year-old Aaliyah was as a singer and song stylist. Sure, it's easy to have rhythm aplenty when R Kelly and Timbaland are guiding you, but Aaliyah's silken phrasings are her own, and her ability to unearth tenderness in even the most funky jam is a testament to her vision of R&B as musical comfort food. Songs from her three studio albums are well represented. Among them are "I Care 4 U" and "More than a Woman" from Aaliyah, the title track and "Got to Give it Up" from One in a Million; and "Back and Forth" and "At Your Best" from Age Ain't Nothing but a Number. Of course, the universally praiseworthy brand new tracks--"Come Over", "All I Need", "Miss You" and "Don't Worry" are the real goods. --Kim Hughes

I care 4u works in two parts, a semi complete greatest hits package from Aaliyahs excellent but tragically short career. And in second part, 6 cuts of previousely unreleased material recorded between her 2nd and 3rd albums.
To start with the Greatest hits. Most of the best ones are present and correct. Try Again, One in a Million, We Need a Resoultion, More than a Women and Rock the Boat are all here and serve as a reminder that the talented Aaliyah recorded some of the best and most innovative R&B ever. Also included is two cuts from her first album. Back n Forth is excellent, real old skool that first broke Aaliyah back in 1993 plus at your best.
The new tracks are mostly good. Current single Miss U demonstrates Aaliyahs soft but beautiful voice. Come over and All I need are also very pleasing. But the real treat is as always the Timbaland produced, Static written Dont know what to tell ya! Why this wasnt on the Aaliyah album is a mystery, but its all good as its on here. I hope this is to be released as a single as it is amazing! Dirty base, wkd beats and Aaliyahs angelic voice over the top. This typically demonstrates why she is so truely missed and such a void has been left in contemporary R&B.
Overall definately recommend this album - pure class. Only minor complaint is maybe a few more classics could have been included on the disc - maybe hot like fire, journey to the past, if your girl only knew and age aint nothing but a number. Also a biography may have been nice in the booklet.
But in conclusion an excellent cd and the bonus DVD is the icing on the cake. Excellent purchase from a beautiful artist who is truely truely missed. RIP aaliyah.

This beautiful artist who will always stay alight forever has contributed to the music scene in a different and unique way. Her amazing, beautiful, unique, mellow voice makes you want to keep listening to her music again and again and again. This artist is the only one i have come across who is beautiful, spectacular, and does things with style, uniqueness, grace and humbleness.
Every song on this album is brilliantly composed and sung with a sense of individuality in the uniqueness of her voice.
Singing from a young age she sang with Glady's Knight and singing 'at your best (you are love) at only a mere age of fourteen, you can see why she was destined for amazing things.
Her angelic voice haunts us on 'one in a million,' and makes us want to dance to hits like 'try again' and 'back and forth.'
Her talent is endless, with new material on the album after her untimely death, this is one treasurable album that every R'n'B lover must have.
It would have been nice to have alot more of her classic songs on the CD as well as a factfile/biography on Aaliyah and possibly a poster.
However, with an additional bonus DVD of some of her brilliant music videos, i guess i cant complain.
This is one album i would recommend to anyone.
Rest in peace baby girl we're still thinking of you....always x

damn this is the hottest women ever to grace this earth with the voice of an angel or someone who is enlightened with a talent that she shares freely with us mortals. Plus she's got the moves of a silky goddess and the acting talents of one of the greats. This alblum is hot, sounds great, really nice rythums with interesting lyrics a true work of art. The best thing i've ever heard. BUY IT, IT'S THAT GOOD.

An average album.
'I care for you' shouldn't really be looked at as a definitive 'best of', due to the unfortunate and untimely passing away of Aaliyah. Read more
