Today marks the 8th year that Aaliyah has been gone. I can’t believe it has been that long. Aaliyah has been an artist I admired a lot. There has been many talent shows where I danced and sang her songs. I always liked how she had trippy sounds in her music with Timbaland…I guess that is where I got my love for intricate vibes. She had a style of her own and no one has captured it truly since.

I was so upset when I heard the news about Aaliyah’s death. Aaliyah’s passing hit hard since I was really getting into her new music. It is crazy that she left the world so young, basically at my age.

I guess as we get older, we are going to see more and more of our favourite artists leave us. One thing that is great about music is that it will always be left behind for us to remember and enjoy.

Rest in Peace Aaliyah.
