Try again: Aaliyah’s music isn’t coming to streaming
On what would have been her 42nd birthday, Aaliyah’s
fans were told her complete discography won’t be coming to streaming services
anytime soon.
The deceased R&B star’s estate provided an update via social
media on the long-awaited release of her entire catalogue yesterday, January 16.
“We hear you and we see you. While we share your sentiments and desire to have Aaliyah’s music released, we must acknowledge that these matters are not within our control and, unfortunately, take time,” Aaliyah’s estate wrote. “Our inability to share Aaliyah’s music and artistry with the world has been as difficult for us as it has been for all of you. Our priority has always been and will continue to be Aaliyah’s music.”
A message to our fans. We hear you and we see you. Thank you for your continued support. – The Estate of Aaliyah— Aaliyah (@AaliyahHaughton)
