More Details On Aaliyah's New Album

Eleven years later and singer Aaliyah remains relevant. Aaliyah's label is gearing up to release more music for her fans who have been missing her beautiful voice and musical style. There have been a lot of rumors about this album on who's producing it and etc. Drake recently came out and said that he and 40 are going to be the head guys over the album.

Someone took to Aaliyah's facebook page saying that the record label and family will NOT be supporting this album. Aaliyah's cousin Jomo Hankerson along with his father Barry Hankerson stated they will be forseeing the album. Jomo went on to say that Drake and 40 will have a huge participation with the album but will not have TOTAL command of the album.

The Blackground label will promote and support this album as stated by Jomo. Jomo stated Missy Elliot and Timbaland WILL be apart of this album. The next single could very well be a Missy song that went unheard which they are getting in the studio to refresh for the album. Jomo and Barry Hankerson are said to executive produce the album with 16 unreleased songs set to hit shelves later this year with co-production from Drake and 40.

They are on contemporary artist to help and give contributions on the album. When asked why they were doing this Aaliyah album Jomo simply stated 'it's time'.

 Jomo Hankerson stated:

'We really felt like it was time', explained Hankerson. 'There's a real new generation that doesn't know her necessarily, and we wanted to continue her musical legacy with this new generation. That's one of the reasons why we wanted to do very contemporary music. We didn't want to make it a nostalgic project; we already did that with the I Care 4 U album.'

Are you here for a new Aaliyah album or should they just leave it alone? I am certainly look forward to it. I stanned for Aaliyah before I knew what a Rihanna was. The girl was just so smooth and a beautiful person inside and out. I just hope they do the album justice and don't mess this up.
