Aaliyah’s final and self-titled album “Aaliyah” was launched 20 years in the past immediately!

Roommate, 20 years ago today, the beautiful and talented Aaliyah released her third and final album – just weeks before her untimely death in a plane crash. Although the album was sad because of her death, “Aaliyah” is still considered by many fans as her greatest work.

Aaliyah may have changed, but their incredible music lives on. Happy Anniversary!
