Untitled

Aaliyah is the self-titled third and final studio album by American R&B singer Aaliyah, released by Blackground and Virgin Records on July 17, 2001 (see 2001 in music) in the United States. The eponymous album is sometimes called The Control Album.[3] It was primarily produced by Keybeats, with additional production by Timbaland, Bud'da, Jeffrey "J-Dub" Walker and Static Major, and lyrics by Static Major and Missy Elliott.

It was also nominated for a 2002 Grammy Award for Best R&B Album among many other awards. In April 2001, Aaliyah spoke highly of the album stating "It is her version of Control".[4]

Background

Production for the album started in 1998, but with the record of Romeo Must Die Aaliyah had to postpone the recording of the album. Soon after she began filming scenes of The Queen of Damned, recording resumed in October 2000. With filming ending in Australia in December 2000, production of the album went into full-force stateside and in Europe. The track I Care 4 U was recorded in 1996 for the album One in a Million, but was not completed in time for mastering One In A Million.[2][2]

The first single from the album was intended to be "Loose Rap",[5] with a dance-oriented video to accompany it but for unknown reasons, "We Need a Resolution" was released as the lead single instead.

Musical style

In a 2001 interview, Aaliyah explains the genre and style of the music:

"It still has my signature style, but more of a rock flair to it. I feel each song has something you don't normally hear today."

"Just think about love. Most songs are about love. I got happy and sad love songs together."

"Now that I'm older, I mean that I'm an adult now, and I want that to show through on the album. So my writers and that, we talk, you know, they ask me how am I feeling, just as a person, you know this point in my life, the things I want to talk about, and they incorporate what I told them.. in the lyrics."

Though Aaliyah did not co-write any of the songs on her latest studio project, as executive producer she added more creative input during the making of the album than she did on her previous two albums. The album, which was Aaliyah's most experimental, became a crossover hit while still keeping Aaliyah's huge popularity in urban music. Aaliyah worked on the album while simultaneously filming Queen of the Damned, in Melbourne, and this influenced the sound greatly on a few songs. The album is mainly composed of soul ballads, electropop/rock songs and contemporary R&B songs. The contemporary R&B/hip hop song "We Need a Resolution", the Marvin Gaye-influenced "Rock the Boat", the dance-pop hit "More Than a Woman" and soul ballad "I Care 4 U" were released as singles worldwide. The second side of the album includes "I Refuse", which was exclusively released in France, and the hard rock "I Can Be" and "What If".

Cover

While the main cover of the album, photo taken by Albert Watson, shows Aaliyah in wearing a long gold tank top, with the picture painted red, other cover similar to this cover come in orange,[6] while the European and re-release edition comes in white.[7] The official alternative cover shows an animated version of Aaliyah against a dark-purple background with her name (which is also the name of the album) and the Aaliyah-styled "A (Λ)" (which represents Aaliyah herself).

Releases and promotion

Aaliyah was released through Blackground on July 17, 2001. Aaliyah co-hosted MTV’s Total Request Live in July 2001 to promote the album. Aaliyah performed the expected second single "More Than a Woman" on Live with Regis & Kelly, The View, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in July 2001.

Tour

Aaliyah performed the expected second single "More Than a Woman" on Live with Regis & Kelly, The View, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in July 2001. She had more concerts scheduled in different countries, but did not have the chance to due to her death.[1][8]

Commercial

U.S.

Aaliyah debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 and the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums with 190,000 copies sold in the first week.[9] In the week of her death (seventh week) the album rose to number one on the Billboard 200 and two on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums] with 337,073 copies sold and more than 1,000,000 shipments in the total. As a percentage of sales increased 800%, making the biggest increase in sales in history.[10][11][12] The album was certified two times Platinum by RIAA for shipments of 2,000,000 copies or more.[11] It also became the third album from Aaliyah to receive the award of multi-platinum.[11] The album has sold more 2.95 million copies in the US.[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]

The album spent 282 weeks on the Billboard 200, making it one of the longest stay in the Billboard 200 albums chart. The record has since been surpassed by Taylor Swift, when her self-titled debut album stayed for 283 weeks.[21][22]

Physical copies of the album are out of print in the United States, but there have been rumors that the album is slated for a special edition tenth anniversary re-release in 2011. But is available for download in iTunes.

World

The album debuted at number two on the charts worldwide, with more than 330,000 copies sold. In the week of her death the album rose of number 25 to number 1, with more than 888,000 copies sold.[11][23][14]

Until the release of I Care 4 U (December-2002) the album had sold more 9 million copies worldwide.[11][24][14]

To the date the album sold more 13 million copies worldwide (12 million physical copies and 1 million downloads via Internet). The album is her biggest in sales in the world.[15][16][17][18][19][20]

Singles

  • "We Need a Resolution" (featuring Timbaland) the first single, was released during late April in the United States. "We Need a Resolution" reached number fifty nine on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the issue dated June 9, 2007, and remained on the chart for sixteen weeks. The song received moderate success internationally. "We Need a Resolution" reached the top 20 of the UK Singles Chart and the top 30 in Canada. The music video premiered on BET's 106 & Park and MTV's TRL on April 26, 2001.
  • "Rock the Boat", the second single (US), was released in early August. Aaliyah started promotion for the expected second single "More Than a Woman", but the single was pushed back because her label felt "Rock the Boat" was a summer single that needed to be released. "Rock the Boat" served as the second single in America while serving as the third single internationally. On the Billboard Hot 100, the song entered on the chart September 8, 2001 at number fifty-seven[25] and peaked at number 14 in its twelfth week.[26] The song stayed on the chart for twenty-five weeks.[27]
  • "More Than a Woman", the third single (US), was released in November 2001. Promotion for the single started in July 2001 but was eventually pushed back. In the Billboard Hot 100, the song entered on the chart dated issue February 2, 2002 at number seventy-one[28] and peaked at number twenty-five in its ninth week.[29] The song stayed in the chart for twenty-four weeks.[30] The song ranked fifty-eighth on the 2002 year-end chart.[31] On January 13, 2002, the song became Aaliyah's only number one hit in the United Kingdom, selling 32,081 copies for that week. It became the first time in UK chart history a posthumous release has taken over from another posthumous release when the song was replaced by George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord", and the first time that a woman has had a posthumous number one single. All together, the single has sold 347,563 copies in the United Kingdom. The song reached the top twenty in Ireland and Switzerland.
  • "I Refuse", the fourth single (France only), was released as a double A-side single along with "More Than a Woman". "I Refuse" was a moderate hit, peaking in the Top 30 in France at #25.

The album received generally positive reviews from most music critics.[38] At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 76 based on 14 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".[38] Rolling Stone's Ernest Hardy described it as a "near-flawless declaration of strength and independence" and noted Janet Jackson and Alanis Morissette as musical influences on the album.[39] Chicago Tribune writer Brad Cawn called it "cool and glittery neo-soul music, equal parts attitude and harmony, and all urban music perfection".[43] Simon Price of The Independent complimented Timbaland's production and stated "In many ways, this album is the true successor to Destiny's Child's Writing on the Wall (rather than their own Survivor); so much so, in fact, that you could choose to hear it as an 'answer record'. Further evidence that black pop is the avant garde".[44] Jam! writer Darryl Sterdan commended Timbaland's "kinetic, high-tech slap 'n' bump soul-hop grooves" and called the songs "immaculately produced".[45] The A.V. Club's Nathan Rabin noted that the album "feels surprisingly cohesive" and viewed that it establishes Aaliyah as "a major artist in her own right".[34] Joshua Clover of Spin stated "Deeper than anything she's delivered before, Aaliyah's a hard record; almost never does a song roll over and beg to be loved".[41] Slant Magazine's Sal Cinquemani wrote that it "provides a missing link between hip-hop and electronica" and found Aaliyah's metaphors "more fully-developed and far sexier".[40] Craig Seymour of Entertainment Weekly gave Aaliyah a B+, saying it "creates a largely, up-tempo thrillingly melodramatic set" that "takes a melancholy—at times sinister—view of matters of the heart".[35] However, Seymour also stated that Aaliyah "missteps when she tries to stretch outside of her musical comfort zones", specifically mentioning the Latin pop "Read Between the Lines" and the nu metal "What If".[35]

Similarly, some critics have dismissed "What If" as being too technical, calling it the R&B version of King Crimson.[46] Los Angeles Times writer Connie Johnson perceived a lack of songwriting depth, stating "everything is light, pleasing and image-conscious, but lacking the personal revelation that gives music some immediacy".[36] John Mulvey of NME gave the album a 7/10 rating and called it a "tasteful album fails to transcend 'satisfying'".[37] Yahoo! Music's Dan Leroy noted that its "mature, midtempo funk can't quite keep down Aaliyah's still-kittenish vocals".[42] In his consumer guide for The Village Voice, critic Robert Christgau gave Aaliyah a rating of ((3-star Honorable Mention)(3-star Honorable Mention)(3-star Honorable Mention)) honorable mention,[47] indicating "an enjoyable effort consumers attuned to its overriding aesthetic or individual vision may well treasure".[48] Time magazine named Aaliyah one of the ten best albums of 2001. The magazine wrote of the album, "A siren of subtlety, never wailing when a whisper would do, Aaliyah blended genres with alluring ease. For her, hip-hop/soul and muted alternative rock came together as easily as lovers interlocking fingers. A plane crash claimed Aaliyah's life in August, but on her last CD her soul is forever in flight."[citation needed] In a retrospective review, Allmusic writer Stephen Thomas Erlewine called it one of the "strongest urban soul records of its time".[33] Christian Hoard of Rolling Stone gave the album 4 out of 5 stars in its 2004 Album Guide publication and viewed it as significant to her legacy, stating "Aaliyah had grown from studio puppet to a powerful R&B archetype—a more self-aware Ronnie Spector for a time that requires more self-awareness of its young adults. Sure, Timbaland sculpted her sound throughout, but Aaliyah imprinted herself upon those beats—as a catalyst, she's equaled only by Missy Elliot herself".[49]
