Age Ain't Nothing But a Number
Aaliyah's debut features a pleasant mix of r&b/hip hop/pop that appealed to a wide audience. What also helped fuel interest in her was the fact that she refused to reveal her age and had some mysterious ways about her during interviews. I know it piqued my interest enough at that time such that I'd try to watch all of her interviews to see if she was really only 14 or 15 years old OR if she was actually in her 20s.

I loved the fact that there was no negative rivalry mess started up between Aaliyah & Brandy since they were both bringing individual flair to the r&b field. It was cute how people called Brandy, a young Whitney Houston while Aaliyah was being touted as a younger Janet Jackson.

This is an interesting album featuring production from then up & coming R Kelly where he utilizes hard hip hop beats in contrast to Aaliyah's sweet airy vocals.

The standout tracks to me are: BACK & FORTH, AGE AIN'T NOTHING BUT A NUMBER, AT YOUR BEST (YOU ARE LOVE), I'M SO INTO YOU, STREET THING & NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO LOVE ME QUITE LIKE YOU DO (although a little monotonous, I still love the beats).

I'd recommend it to Aaliyah fans and to those who are curious about mid-90s r&b.

Too light and chessy.
The only good song is "Back & Fourth", the rest of the songs do not stand out all. they all sound very cheesy.On this album she has no dept no nothing,if you want a good Aaliyah pick up her 2001 self titled album "Aaliyah".
