I've been waiting to hear unreleased material for years. I was just under the impression that there wasn't much left. I remember some time between 2003-2005 there was rumors of them doing an album like Minnie Riperton's posthumous album where they took vocals from uncompleted songs and had other singers finish them and turn them into duets.
I wonder if they'll push a single and I wonder how radio would react.

I hope the album gets promoted/done well, and doesn't fall to the wayside like Michael Jackson's Michael or Left Eye's Eye Legacy albums.

It would be nice to have some quality Aaliyah material if there is still some remaining in the vaults. I Miss you and Come Over are two of her best songs in my opinion.

Well, from what I've heard, Blackground apparently can release new Aaliyah material without her family's permission. I remember seeing a Keshia Chante interview where she was saying that the much debated biopic was being developed without Aaliyah's family's knowledge of it. So maybe this is a similar situation to that?

^ The guys who run Blackground are family members of Aaliyah. She is the reason that label was founded in the first place.
Edit: Rashad (Aaliyah's brother) said that no there is no new album on the way. I remember Missy saying on twitter that Rashad had control over Aaliyah's music.

DRAKE HINTS AT POSTHUMOUS AALIYAH COLLABORATIONDrake has never been shy about his love for Aaliyah. The “Take Care” rapper has tattooed the late singer’s face on his back and sampled her song on his debut Thank Me Later. While he never got a chance to work with her while she was alive, he revealed that a posthumous collaboration may be in the works. “I have some great Aaliyah news coming soon. Some special things,” the 25-year-old told Tim Westwood. When asked if it had to do with a rumored posthumous project of her unreleased recordings, he remained coy. “Just some special things, you know. Great things for music, period.” Drizzy shared his admiration for the “Try Again” songstress, who passed away at the age of 22. “I think more than anything Aaliyah always made music that was never uncomfortable for me to listen to,” he explained. “You know it’s hard for me to ride around to a female singer because at the end of the day, you’re a man, but she always kept it so G with the writing and the melodies. It was something to ride to, especially when it was chopped and crewed. That’s when I used to love Aaliyah the most.” www.rap-up.com/2012/03/31/drake-hints-at-posthumous-aaliyah-collaboration

As nice as it would be to hear Aaliyah on the radio again, I don't know how I feel about them releasing a possible "new" single with Drake on it. Aaliyah never even heard Drake as an artist in her lifetime. Something about an Aaliayh song where she wouldn't have even heard how it would sound before her passing doesn't seem like an Aaliyah song at all. Touching up the production is one thing, but adding a whole different sound and composition to a song?

I'm curious to know if it'll be a sample, or an unreleased song/vocal from Aaliyah. I remember Missy said a long time back she was going to complete the unfinished Aaliyah songs; maybe it's coming to fruition this time!

Just saw her Behind the Music segment for the umpteenth. :'( :'( :'( I miss her still.
She had so much more to deliver to us. She was just rising.

She would have been up there with Beyonce. RIP ITA - There seemed to be a void with a smart, savvy, cool woman on the scene when she passed. She was destined for bigger things, but her destiny had something else in mind. Beyonce was really the one who captured that - smart, voice, dance, movies, etc. A well-rounded artist. I don't have a problem with hearing Aalyiah on a Drake tune - since he is a huge fan - doubt it would be anything tacky. Aalyiah would've been great on TC.

It is still sad how this plane crash could have been prevented only if the passengers had patience and waited a day.

A new project definitely seems to be in the works.
Timbaland on Power 105 this morning:
“I know they tryna drop some Aaliyah records. I got something that I never put out. I’m trying to get one done now just for the fans, but if [Drake] do it, it should be with me and him and Missy. The best decision what the fans would want to see is all three of us. It can’t be something to make money off of ’cause I think it’s wrong to make money off the dead.”

I wonder if the new music coming could perhaps be related to the highly rumored biopic for Aaliyah. As much as people downplayed the idea, it was published by many reputable sources when it originated, and I remember reading a recent Keshia Chante interview in which she said that the movie's producers were trying to work something out with Aaliyah's family...

Sometimes, I really dont think that crash was an accident.

I only wish Drake's verse didn't use profanity, since most of Aaliyah's music did not have any. Does anyone know if the Haughtons are in support of this? I remember Rashad mentioned that an album wasn't in the works.

Drake needs to leave her alone. I wish he wasn't on the track at all. I'm all for 40 producing/remixing unreleased tracks but I'm not here for Drake rapping all over them and being one of the executive producers. Blackground is owned & run by Aaliyah's uncle and cousin so they can release the music without her parents and Rashad's consent but I hope they got their blessing.

Aaliyah has always been my favorite and i understand the concern alot of fans have over Drake and this project, but i think the song does Aaliyah justice and iam so very stoked that once again we get to hear that beautiful voice

How does one acquire old Aalyiah demos? I guess her family/management/label sold them to Drake and .40?
I thought they would be locked up in a chest in Timbo & Missy's basement.
Thanks.

Her uncle is a bloodthirsty shark and could give a f$ck about people's feelings and consent. I just feel really weird about the track. Really weird. Drake was not needed on the track. He profanity laced verse and boasting was unnecessary. I feel that Tim and Missy should be apart of this project. I feel Barry proposed a deal that if they got Aaliyah's vocals that Drake and 40 will have to work with Blackground Artists (ie. Jojo "Demonstrate" and more for her album).

I thought they would be locked up in a chest in Timbo & Missy's basement.Aaliyah has a slew of tracks that were both incomplete and near completion that she did with Rapture, E. Seats, Bud'da for the Aaliyah album that weren't included with other outside producers. Since Barry commissioned those studio sessions he owns the rights to her music. I know her and Tim/Missy have about 30-40 tracks that could be released with proper mixing. Tim has a heart. Barry doesn't.
