Are You That Somebody? (1998)
Aaliyah
Rating: 4.7
Aaliyah has such a beautiful voice; it's unfair that she was taken away from the world so soon.
This song has a really strong back beat, and even Timbaland's rap hits all the right places with the listener. The one thing that I find fault with is that there isn't much of an ending; just a fade-out. If the instrumental part was eliminated, and it just ended right after a repetition of the chorus, the song would be greatly improved in my mind.
Though the book didn't make this song one of the main 1,001 , I think it deserved that place. "Are You That Somebody?" is a well-written song with an innocent tone weaved into the less-than-innocent lyrics. Everything just seems to click into place, making for a beautiful pop song.
