Aaliyah worked with record producers Timbaland and Missy Elliott for her second album, One in a Million; it sold 3 million copies in the United States and over eight million copies worldwide. In 2000, Aaliyah appeared in her first film, Romeo Must Die. She contributed to the film's soundtrack, which spawned the single "Try Again". The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 solely on airplay, making Aaliyah the first artist in Billboard history to achieve this goal. "Try Again" earned Aaliyah a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female R&B Vocalist. After completing Romeo Must Die, Aaliyah filmed her role in Queen of the Damned. She released her third and final album, Aaliyah, in July 2001.
"5 AM" was released as the lead single on 4 November 2013. It reached number 14 on the UK Singles Chart. "Crying for No Reason" was released as the album's second single on 26 January 2014. It debuted at number five on the UK Singles Chart. "Still" was released as the album's third single on 2 May 2014.
Other songs
"What Love Is Made Of" was released on 5 July 2013 and reached number 21 on the UK Singles Chart; however, the song did not make the album's final cut. "Aaliyah", originally released as part of the Danger EP, received extensive airplay on the likes of BBC Radio 1 and became part of the album.
Promotion
Tour
On 12 November 2013 it was announced that Katy B will be doing a five-date UK tour. A date for London's Roundhouse in October 2014 was added on 17 January 2014. On 5 March 2014, full tour dates for October were added.
Aaliyah is the third and final studio album by American R&B recording artist Aaliyah, released on July 7, 2001, by Blackground Records and Virgin Records. After raising her profile with hit soundtrack singles during the late 1990s, Aaliyah started to work on the album in 1998, but rescheduled its recording around her developing film career. She resumed recording the record in 2000 at Sing Sing Studios in Australia, where she shot her role for the 2002 film Queen of the Damned during the day and recorded songs at night. Aaliyah worked primarily with Blackground's in-house crew of writers and producers, including Bud'da, J. Dub, Rapture, and Eric Seats, as well as longtime collaborator Timbaland.
Aaliyah was an R&B and neo soul record whose music drew on funk, hip hop, alternative rock, and electronica sounds, among others. The producers incorporated synthesizer melodies, fragmented beats, distorted guitar, and eccentrically manipulated vocals and song structures. Much of Aaliyah dealt with the complexities of romantic love and different stages in a relationship. Most of the songs were written by lyricist Static Major, who shared a close friendship and strong rapport with Aaliyah. She viewed the album as a reflection of herself as both a young adult and a matured vocalist.
