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 love experiences 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
flavor with her remake of the Marvin Gaye classic "Got To
Give It Up."
