“I’ve always been someone who has had an affinity towards edgy things, towards the dark side,” Aaliyah can be heard saying in the snippet. “From Romeo to Queen of the Damned to The Matrix, they all kinda represent that for me.
It’s very edgy, it’s unique, it’s a little bit dark and I like that in my music as well. So, I felt in taking a step into another genre that I wanted to do something that people could understand the flow with me and they know me that way in music so I thought this was the best way.”
