Summary

The definitive biography of Aaliyah—the talented R&B singer and artist whose tragic death at only twenty-two years old shocked the entertainment world and solidified her as an unforgettable music legend, featuring new in-depth research and exclusive interviews。

By twenty-two years old, Aaliyah had already accomplished a staggering amount: hit records, acclaimed acting roles, and fame that was just about to cross over into superstardom。 Like her song, she was already “more than a woman” but her shocking death in a plane crash prevented her from fully growing into one。

Now, two decades later, the full story of Aaliyah’s life and cultural impact is finally and lovingly explored。 Baby Girl features never-before-told stories, including studio anecdotes, personal tales, and eyewitness accounts on the events leading up to her untimely passing。 Her enduring influence on today’s artists—such as Rihanna, Drake, Lana del Rey, and many more—is also revealed, providing Aaliyah’s discography a cultural critique that is long overdue。

Eye-opening, moving, and as unforgettable as its subject, Baby Girl is a necessary read for anyone who has been touched by Aaliyah’s music and story。

This book was written without the participation of Aaliyah’s family/estate。

I was given the opportunity to read this advanced copy of this book and I always preface this by saying I'm not a fan of reading, but of course I'm a fan of Aaliyah。 Who isn't ?!? Myself, like everyone else then felt like we grew up with Aaliyah and she was a friend。 Even though she was a huge superstar she always came off humble and relatable。 Since not ever single moment of a superstar's life was tweeted out back in the day we knew only what we read in a magazine or saw on TV。 This book is a c I was given the opportunity to read this advanced copy of this book and I always preface this by saying I'm not a fan of reading, but of course I'm a fan of Aaliyah。 Who isn't ?!?
