"Back in the Day Today - The Aaliyah MashUp Tribute" comes up with some of Aaliyah's greatest hits in all brandnew versions. From new renditions of her smash songs "Try Again" and "Rock the Boat" to Jazz remixes of her classic tunnes such as "Are you that somebody", this album also includes cover versions by aspiring upcoming artists.
Furthermore, today's greatest artists of the likes of Usher, Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga take over Lili's work and re-interprete her tracks in a new individual way. The most touching track however obviously is the first entry by Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men & Aaliyah herself which still helds the record for the longest run on #1 in the US Billboard Hot 100 charts with 16 consecutive weeks. I'd like to take the opportunity and dedicate this song to my friend André Porzel who untimely passed away in March 2010.
We, the people who created these songs in memory of the late Aaliyah for the 10th anniversary of her passing hope you will enjoy this album.
