Product Description

Description

Aaliyah's debut paved the way for a legion of teen-aged female R&B singers, including Brandy, Monica and 702. Aaliyah is no kid, though; she sings with a maturity that belies her age. Much about her life has changed, but she remains a mature young lady who sings about the ups and downs of true loveexperiences on this follow-up record.
Obviously a trained singer, Aaliyah glides easily between vocal ranges. Her soft style is more refined than the over-exaggerated riffs of other R&B songstresses. As on her first album, she pays tribute to the Isley Brothers, this time with "Choosey Lover". She adds more old-school flavour with her remake of the Marvin Gaye classic "Got To Give It Up".

5.0 out of 5 stars Aaliyah's True Masterpiece, 5 Sep 2001
By A Customer
One in a million is exactly that, An R&B album in a million, EVERY last track is a classic... the title track "One in a million" is a smooth laid back tale of true love, a tune to play with the lights down low... Another song to stand out is the rework of Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give it up" It's been said of covers, either make them sound the same or TOTALLY different... no poor imitations and Aaliyah's smooth vocals along with some help from Slick Rick certainly makes this song appeal to those who weren't yet born when it orginally came out. "4 page letter" is another of this albums stand out songs although Aaliyah takes a break from the classic Timbaland "Beats" and trys her hand at a ballad... ONE IN A MILLION is truly Aaliyah's greatest album as well as an R&B Classic... this is the album that shaped Aaliyah's career as well as changing R&B..... totally one for your collection!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutley Amazing, 4 Dec 2006
By Breathe Music (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: One in a Million (Audio CD)
This legendary album has now become a classic for all fans of soul, R&B, and even pop. Aaliyah's amazing talent and sweet, breathy vocals ensured its success, also contributed by its original signature style courtesy of legendary producer Timbaland and his partner in music Missy Elliot. The album is beautiful, and songs such as 'One in a Million' '4 Page Letter' 'If your Girl Only Knew' and 'Hot Like Fire' have now become anthems. Aaliyahs amazing talent is now legendary although at her time she should have got more mainstream coverage. Many female artists now seek to emulate the style and success of this album, and of Aaliyah.

Timbaland and Missy Elliots huge contribution to the style and sound of this album revolutionised R&B at the time with tripped beats and sassy production to be envied. Aaliyahs amazing ability to be sexy and street in both her vocals and personal style also ensured her success in areas away from music. Aaliyah took a bit of a break after this album, studying at college ,and shooting two films, 'Queen of the damned' and 'Romeo must die' before recording her critically acclaimed third album simply entitled 'Aaliyah'. She had also been offered a part in the Matrix sequels however was tragically killed in a plane crash in the bahamas just after finishing filming the video to 'Rock the boat'.

Aaliyah will always be remembered as a beautiful, humble artist with multiple talents and a singing voice never to be replaced. Her singing style was unique and distinctive as well as beautiful and this album should be bought. All the songs are great but my favourites are 'One ina million', '4 page letter' 'A girl like you' 'I gotcha back', 'The one I gave my heart to' and 'Never givin up'

Enjoy

By A Customer
This review is from: One in a Million (Audio CD)
this is my 1st album from Aaliyah and i have enjoyed it hellva lot! this album is a slow album but her silky smooth voice really pulls it off. my personal favourite are 4 page letter (a classic no doubt) and If Your Girl Only Knew. a brillant start to the album, with Hot like Fire, which carries on through the tracks. defiently something to listen to on a sunday evening when you are just relaxing and remembering all those past loves!
