The controversy surrounding R.Kelly's marriage to Aaliyah seemed to overshadow the album itself. However, the album is very good. It blended hip hop and R&B very well. And even if Mary held the title of the queen of hip hop soul, Aaliyah had the youthful attitude and swagger that provided her an identity all her own. "Back and Forth" still holds up almost twenty years later and the title track still bangs too. The video is bittersweet though. It has Aaliyah, of course, and Proof. Two artists whose lives were tragically cut short. Fortunately, through music, they will never be forgotten and will always be appreciated.
