Gosh, I love “Come Over” so much. So simple yet so addictive.
I actually think of any Aaliyah song it’d be most likely to be a hit today as a new song. It’s really that mellow R&B that contemporary artists like SZA, Kehlani, Jhene, etc love to make.

OFC Blackground Records charged my credit card for vinyls that aren't shipping til next summer Same. But that’s the idea. They charge you now and will send when the vinyls are pressed. They do have a warning upon ordering.

"Poison" with The Weeknd is new on Blackground 2.0 and pulling in R&B adds.

I listened to Poison last night and was so disappointed. Her vocals sound like they were recorded on an answering machine that was then garbled through autotune, and then they did the same with The Weeknd's vocals to match the quality. I don't even know why they bothered with it. They can keep the full album if this is what they thought should be the first single.

Twitter is abuzz with the missed opportunity to make her "duet" partners female artists inspired by her instead of a bunch of men with varying levels of violence against women and misogyny in their history.

Not sure how I feel about this new album...seems like they are trying to milk coins out of her. Especially, when it's not the family's decision...its Hankersons.

What’s the big hurry in releasing the whole album barely a month after “Poison” dropped? They’ve kept this material locked up in a vault for 20 years, what’s another 6 months while they drop a few singles to rack up streams?
Oh wait, the Blackground 2.0 promo team (if they even exist in the first place) haven’t adapted to the typical rollout in the streaming age yet. So the album will be here and gone by Spring.

They continue to do further injustice to her legacy, despite executing the roll out to the streaming releases better than expected.
So many missed opportunities to bring the family together to do retrospective interviews, interesting brand partnerships and visuals that match her stature.
Poison isn't terrible but they missed several tricks in matching her with producers who could bring something interesting to her leftovers, particularly given her history working with weird and new sounds. Unstoppable sounds like it's going to be very uneven.
