Aaliyah's debut paved the way for a legion of teen-aged female R&B singers, including Brandy, Monica and 702. Aaliyah is no kid, though; she sings with a maturity that belies her age. Much about her life has changed, but she remains a mature young lady who sings about the ups and downs of true love experiences on this follow-up record.
Obviously a trained singer, Aaliyah glides easily between vocal ranges. Her soft style is more refined than the over-exaggerated riffs of other R&B songstresses. As on her first album, she pays tribute to the Isley Brothers, this time with "Choosey Lover." She adds more old-school flavor with her remake of the Marvin Gaye classic "Got To Give It Up."

Editorial Reviews
Included in Rolling Stone's Essential Recordings of the 90's.
Rolling Stone (05/13/1999)

3 Stars (out of 5) - ...With her smooth, sweetly seductive vocal firmly to the fore, she works through a set of predominantly slow and steamy swingbeat numbers, all clipped beats, luxurious melodies and dreamy harmonies...
Q (10/01/1996)

...ONE IN A MILLION resides on a different plane than the legion of sophomore attempts that produce only one or two gold singles....Aaliyah is ready to showcase her mature side. Her best songs are about relationship woes...
The Source (02/01/1997)

...Aaliyah's voice is tender--slightly stronger than [Janet] Jackson's anemic falsetto, but with the same pop appeal....The hip hop-inspired production is solid and supportive...
Vibe (10/01/1996)

      CD - Great Music

    My granddaughter started me to using e-bay. I was kind of uneasy at first, but I did it. Every transaction I received has been divine. I ran into some large postage and handling fees on some things. But I had already made my committment.

    I will stay an active consumer on ebay and I will thank you for such wonderful shopping trips.

    I bought this cd because I loaned it out and I loved it. Your price and also the condition was excellent.

    A really good R&B album by the multi-talented Aailyah - listen to it and maybe even buy it. You really can't go wrong with her - lots of talent
