Don’t miss the inspirational biography behind the exciting new Lifetime movie Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B, starring Alexandra Shipp as the extraordinary singer Aaliyah. Aaliyah Dana Haughton was that music business rarity: a teen idol who transformed herself into a critically acclaimed hip-hop soul artist, a singer who successfully made the transition to actress, and a beautiful woman who never let the trappings of celebrity go to her head. Following her impressive debut at age fourteen with the album Age Ain’t Nothin’ but a Number, Aaliyah raised the bar with her hugely influential and bestselling follow-up, One in a Million. She then took her talents to Hollywood, starring in the action thriller Romeo Must Die and the highly anticipated horror film The Queen of the Damned. But soon after the release of her third album in the summer of 2001, Aaliyah’s life was cut short in a tragic plane crash. Here is the inspirational story of the star The Washington Post dubbed “Hip-Hop’s Lady Di”—a woman who, by the time of her death at age twenty-two, touched legions of fans around the world with her haunting voice and gentle spirit.

"By twenty-two 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.

I wrote this book because there is not a lot of African-American mythology and fairy tales available in mainstream culture today. Though technically Africa is Historical Fiction, it is a story written with the hope that it become just that'a myth,a fairy-tale'for my people. It is my wish, however, that this book reaches much deeper, and much more broadly, to people of any background or ethnicity. I hope that all who read this book will finish it seeing things a little differently than when they began it. To my people'to the land of my forefathers'this book is a gift that I give, inall humility, to them. Aaliyah, I hope, will become there Cinderella, there Beautyand the Beast, there Pocahontas giving them inssight into their past. I wrote it to reveal that they are more than Africans, Slaves, or victims. I wrote it to show all the beauty, and wonder, of the Black Person'who is ultimately Evanescent, Ethe-real...in essence Beautiful.
