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.
