A huge thank you to J-Dub, one of the producers on the red album who posted this beautiful throwback memory for all of #TeamAaliyah via his Instagram page. This is much appreciated beyond words. I love hearing about these personal, fond memories since they give us more of a deeper connection towards the song and the artist. Enjoy! :o)
J-Dub: "We
recorded this song in LA at Enterprise Studios. My engineer at the time
lost Aaliyah's background vocals. Back then we cut on 2 inch reels no
protools. This song was suppose to be her single. Aaliyah was so
disappointed that she couldn't cut the vocals over. This is a big song
vocally to sing and it was some challenging vocal sessions. Back then no
auto tune either so you had to be on point. In hindsight I believe
everything happens for a reason. Now the song is a duet featuring Static
Major (RIH) who wrote the song and demoed it. I remixed it a little and
it still sounds fresh. Music allows you to live forever long after
you're gone. Thankful and so blessed I had the chance to produce one of
the sweetest spirits and artists ever to do it in my generation. And to
work with one of the most talented writers I've ever worked with Static
Major. May they both RIH and I know they're smiling down on me about
this one. It was never released commercially, but since I still have
the files I'll share it with the world. Enjoy!!! & this is my #TBT #Aaliyah #StaticMajor #SteadyGround #LA #EnterpriseStudios #EpicSession #Legends #MusicHistory #ItsAllGod #ThankfulForTheGift #DUBZWORLD #DubzworldProductionz #GodIsTheGreatest"
