Even though I wasn't supposed to eat it (story for another day), my fortune cookie last week said "Your love of music will be an important part of your life." My last fortune before that said "You will have a party," so how'm I gonna be skeptical? But I already agree, music is a big deal in my life. If you know me, you know my car stereo is gonna be playing R&B/hip-hop or something in Spanish 99% of the time. And if you really know me, you know I love me some mid to late 90's music. I've got to MOVE, or I at least have to FEEL it. You bring an artist to me and I promise I will not diss it before I hear it. But that's just FYI, I digress. I like sharing music that I love and after doing so and having discussion about it with friends recently, this is just to share about an artist I love and to share some tracks I love.
A-a-l-i-y-a-h.
Fly female R&B artist, cool demeanor, always positive (check out interviews and videos), determined, and accomplished. Died young, 22 years old, in an accident no one could have predicted, and with a life that only continues to bring positivity to others. I would never ask for more in an artist. I don't have "idols" but she's the closest I would have in my past, besides the elementary days of falling in love with JTT and Brad Renfro (RIP). I could talk about her and that style of music for days. I could also get into deeper thoughts and emotions regarding her music and her death but a public blog is not my way of doing that. Last thing is that I think it's important to note that much of her music that I love was produced by Timbaland. But anyways, here are some tracks I like, from her as well as some other artists. ENJOI:
