Description

In a definitive and “excellent homage to a star who left this planet too soon” (Questlove), the life, career, tragic death, and evolution of Aaliyah into a music legend are explored—now updated with new material featuring 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 revealed. 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, Normani, and many more—is also celebrated, providing Aaliyah’s discography a cultural critique that is long overdue.

“There’s no better way to pay your respect to R&B’s true angel than to lose yourself in the pages” (Kim Osorio, journalist and author of Straight from the Source) of this “dazzling biography” (Publishers Weekly) that is as unforgettable as its subject.

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

    I don’t feel it’s written with bad intentions but I do feel it goes too much into details that surround Aaliyah and the people in her life and not so in depth on Aaliyah herself. Every chapter is a new subject on Aaliyah’s life and the details on the subjects are 75% of the chapter. 25% Aaliyah comes into detail. Kinda drag
  • Beautifully written

    I thought it was well balanced it gives you insight into her personality. Not gossipy or trashy it was a great story about a very special woman.

    DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. The person who wrote it does not have good intentions AT ALL. Her character is flawed This book is pure fabrications!! no REAL FAN would read this and actually feel they took something positive from it.
  • Nothing but lies and rumors

    This is supposed to be written by a fan but it reads like it was ripped right out of Lipstick Alley.
