When Aaliyah dropped a duet with DMX to highlight the Romeo Must Die OST, there were two trains of thought. Either you really dug "Come Back In One Piece" or simply couldn't find the vibe. On one hand, combining two superstars over a Parliament sample is sweet in itself, especially when you've got a video that's both theatrical and steamy enough to boost a perceived relationship. On the other hand, their music wasn't particularly on the same wavelength and when this opportunity arose, their backdrop turned out to be a bit [...]
Hip-hop's most controversial star, Chris Brown is set to unveil a new single which will undoubtedly garner much uproar - as it will feature a previously-unreleased vocal recording from late singer Aaliyah . The R&B musician, who passed away in 2001, will make a posthumous appearance on 'They Don't Know' - which is expected to feature on Brown's new album X . That full-length will be released on 16 July, with the Aaliyah-sampling track in question likely to surface prior to that. [...]
Take that, Drizzy. Remember that posthumous Aaliyah album Drake was working on? It appears that's now a thing of the past. Ironically, Chris Brown has swooped in like a fierce hawk to pickup where he left off. Brown is set to release a single singled titled "They Don't Know," which will feature Aaliyah vocals that have yet to surface. The song, which will appear off his forthcoming album X, already has a video in the works, which you can see here . The post Chris Brown to Release "They Don't [...]
"Bittersweet" can't even begin to describe how we feel about this bit of news. Chris Brown announced earlier today (May 14) that his next single, "They Don't Know," features unreleased vocals from the late, great Aaliyah . Think happy thoughts: new Aaliyah vox! It's always slightly questionable when a dead person's unfinished art is arbitrarily shepherded through to a commercial release via time-traveling collaboration, but, ugh, this sucks. Is it Brown's attempt to one-up Drake , who was orchestrating a posthumous Aaliyah album ? We weren't even keen on Drizzy's "collaboration" with Aaliyah, [...]
. Katy B divulgou o lyric video oficial de “Aaliyah”, música que tem a participação de Geeneus e Jessie Ware . O clipe serve para promover o EP Danger , que pode ser baixado gratuitamente pelo site da britânica. A prática de criar clipes baseados na junção de imagens de filmes, séries e outras manifestações audiovisuais não é novidade e nem sempre dá certo. Não é o caso do vídeo de “Aaliyah”, canção que proporciona uma vontade quase incontrolável de dançar só pelo ritmo contagiante. Ao [...]
katy b x geeneus x jessie ware - aaliyah (lyric video) we buzzed over this number back in january , but now it looks like this will be an official single as a wonderfully edited lyric video came out today. using the images of the classic fellini film ' nights of cabiria ' set to this heartbreaking house anthem, it just adds another dimension to one of our fave tunes of 2013. can't wait for the proper video to come out too! to be cont... http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld
Is it just us or does it seem like the new breed of talented beatmakers are getting younger and younger by the week? Chicago-born producer BeazyTymes may only be seventeen years old, but one wouldn't know it when tuning into his excellent latest creation, a remix of The xx's fan-beloved Aaliyah cover "Hot Like Fire" that slyly cycles the track back to its Timbaland roots by adding to the remake's dreamy indie rock slow burn a lightly seasoned lining of rapid-fire trap percussion tricks, the subtle tweak more than enough to earn the cut [...]
The xx has inspired an infinite number of remixes, so what's another one? Some time ago, The xx covered Aaliyah's "Hot Like Fire" and created a delicate, airy thing. Chicago's BeazyTymes, a 17-year-old producer who has an affinity for trap, filters Aaliyah's song one more time and provides it with a gentle, skittering beat. The [...]
We love The xx. Like, LOOOOOVE them. "Coexist" took a minute to grow on us, it was noticeably sadder, more minimal, and just not quite what we expected to follow their debut. Now, a year later, after evolving a bit with the record we are totally geeking out over their full live set at Coachella this last weekend. HINT: Right around 20 minutes, Solange drops in to help the trio with a splendid cover of "Hot Like Fire" by Aaliyah. R.I.P. Follow @godsaveus
California's Coachella festival kicked off in style this weekend, with one particular highlight to those there and the many more streaming online at home being this collaboration between The xx and Solange for a surprise cover of late queen of R&B, Aaliyah . The two acts teamed up during The xx's set, which you can see in its entirity below. The cover of 'Hot Like Fire' comes at the 20 min mark. [...]
Though it may not be the most shocking unannounced addition to the Coachella bill, Solange 's appearance on stage with the XX can easily be counted among the most pleasant surprises from weekend one of the festival. Roughly a third of the way through their nearly hour-long set, the British trio brought out the younger Knowles sister, who sang a bit of "Locked in Closets" (from her True EP) before diving into a typically echoey, gorgeous duet with XX frontman Oliver Sim on Aaliyah 's "Hot Like Fire"-a nod to the modern R&B roots that lurk ever [...]
That's right you read it correctly. A brand spanking new remix from not only World Class Art Thieves, but a song that will definitely take you back... making this a fun blast from the past. Keeping up the easy breezy vibe of the original "Are You That Somebody," World Class Art Thieves incorporate some snare, big bass and a couple climatic builds to turn up the old school excitement. While you might not have heard this song in awhile, it'll definitely be making some noise now. Grab the free EDM download and enjoy! Follow [...]
James Blake ’s discography displays the binary relationship between his base-boned, minimalist production skills and the deft impact of his songwriting. His self-titled debut toyed with rhythm and timing in a way that constructed a new semblance of jazz, which offered a new side to his musical style, especially after several noteworthy EPs that dove into pitch-shifted vocals and R&B samples that were contorted into hypnotic gargles. From the first few notes of Overgrown , Blake ’s voice sounds less distorted and his arrangement, while familiarly sparse, emits a new level of [...]
It's pretty early as I'm posting this-well, relatively speaking-so if you're about to grab some more caffeine, I'd like to offer you a replacement. Put down the sugar and cream, crank up the volume on your device, and put on Ta-ku 's hour-long mix for the L.A. Boiler Room. The entire thing is straight-up mayhem fueled by heavy-as-hell remixes of Aaliyah , transitions from TNGHT to Ludacris , and oh so much more. You can stream and/or download the mix below.
Chicago producer and DJ Matt Roan just dropped his remix of the classic 902s anthem Are You That Somebody. The funky deep house track features a pulsating beat and the soulful vocals of the late Aaliyah. "May she continue to smile on us from Heaven above. SHE was that somebody."

I'm sure quite of few of you might of sighed heavily or hesitated when you saw a remix track of R&B singer Aaliyah .
