I am reviewing a copy of Baby Girl: Better Known as Aaliyah through Atria Books and Netgalley:
By the time she was twenty two Aaliyah had already accomplished a great deal. She had hit records, acclaimed acting roles, and fame that was just about to cross over into superstardom. Like her song, she was already “more than a woman” but her shocking death in a plane crash prevented her from fully growing into one.
Two decades later the full story of Aaliyah’s life and cultural impact is finally and lovingly revealed. Baby Girl features never-before-told stories, including studio anecdotes, personal tales, and eyewitness accounts on the events leading up to her untimely passing. Her enduring influence on today’s artists—such as Rihanna, Drake, Normani, and many more—is also celebrated, providing Aaliyah’s discography a cultural critique that is long overdue.
If you’re looking for a book that pays tribute to Aaliyah’s life and legacy, I would highly recommend Baby Girl: Better Known as Aaliyah five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
