Today, I’m thinking of Aaliyah and the single, Are You That Somebody. It was a Grammy nominated single performed by Aaliyah, recorded for the Dr. Dolittle soundtrack. The song was written and composed by Static Major, who also sang backing vocals, and Timbaland, who, in addition to writing the song, produced and performed a guest rap for it.

“Are You That Somebody?” was a commercial success, reaching number 21 on the US Billboard Hot 100, number 11 in the United Kingdom, number three in the Netherlands and number one in New Zealand. The song was released in June 16, 1998

Aaliyah will never be forgotten. She brought us a new sound between Hip Hop and R&B.
