Younger generations will finally be able to listen to an iconic piece of 90's music which surpassed all other artists with the genius of innovative production and the sexy, sultry smooth as butter vocals from our One In A Million songstress Aaliyah,

To celebrate this special, happy occasion we decided to take a trip down memory lane and share an exclusive, never before seen article from our archives! This article was printed on Total Entertainment on Sunday, September 7th, 1997. (To view the article in HQ please visit our image gallery!)

Our favourite quote from this article has to be this...

"I just think this is the next level to me. I'm 17 now, so I've grown in a lot of ways – artistically, vocally and the whole bit. I'm having fun, enjoying the fruits of my labor" – Aaliyah
