In a definitive and “excellent homage to a star who left this planet too soon” (Questlove), the life, career, tragic death, and evolution of Aaliyah into a music legend are explored - featuring in-depth research and exclusive interviews.
By 22 years old, Aaliyah had already accomplished a staggering amount: 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.
Now, 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.
“There’s no better way to pay your respect to R&B’s true angel than to lose yourself in the pages” (Kim Osorio, journalist and author of Straight from the Source) of this “dazzling biography” (Publishers Weekly) that is as unforgettable as its subject.
This book was written without the participation of Aaliyah’s family/estate.

I’m hoping someday Aaliyah’s family will have the strength to tell her story because it certainly deserves to be told by them.

The book read like it was citing quotes from every interview & article that could be found on her which had it's positives. Bahni reading the story left me feeling some negatives about it though. I'm just not a fan of how she reads stories.
I lived through the Aaliyah era & I idolized her. I even got a chance to meet her. I appreciated the story from a fan's pov yet I still wonder about the story of who she really was. With so many other people in charge of her career the world will never know just how amazing she truly was. Thank you Kathy Iandoli for giving us fans a little bit more understanding into who she was. Rest in Heaven our sweet angel.

Cons: I HATE the tone of how the book started, and made the intro about Kels. I’m really glad the author didn’t narrate this book. I would’ve had to just read the hardback copy instead.
Love the storyline
