Background[edit]
In 1999, Aaliyah landed her first movie role in Romeo Must Die, released March 22, 2000. A loose adaptation of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Aaliyah starred opposite martial artist Jet Li, playing a couple who fall in love amid their warring families. It grossed US$18.6 million in its first weekend, ranking number two at the box office.[4] In addition to acting, Aaliyah served as an executive producer of the film soundtrack, to which she contributed four songs.[5] Aaliyah revealed that the production team 'actually talked about the soundtrack before we even shot the movie'.[6] On February 18, 2000, it was announced that 'Try Again' would be released as the lead single of Romeo Must Die: The Album (2000), while an accompanying music video would be directed by Wayne Isham.[7] It was physically released on February 22, 2000.[8] 'Try Again' was recorded at Sound on Sound Studios in New York and it was originally written as an inspirational song.[9] According to engineer Jimmy Douglass it was 'written to inspire young people, but Barry [Hankerson] heard it and told them, ‘It’s got to be about love.'[9] After all of the changes that was made to the song, the melody and hook were the same but the lyrics were about love.[9]

'Try Again' is a song written by Stephen Garrett and Timothy Mosley, and produced by Timbaland.[10] Timbaland's fuzzy, booming soundscape is influenced by acid house. Yahoo! Music formally known as 'Launch' mentioned that the song's sound is associated with Detroit techno.[11] Aaliyah's sinuous singing comprises simple vocal riffs, which are repeated and refracted to echo the manipulated loops that produce the song's digital rhythm. The chorus line, 'If at first you don't succeed, then dust yourself off and try again', is hypnotically repeated in a fashion similar to the sampling and vocal manipulation found in house music.[12]
According to Music Notes, the song is composed in the key of C♯ minor and is set in time signature of common time with a tempo of 92 beats per minute, while Aaliyah's vocal range spans from G♯3 to G♯4.[10] In the song's intro, Timbaland pays homage to Eric B. & Rakim by rapping the duo's opening verse from 'I Know You Got Soul'.[13]
Reception[edit]
Chuch Taylor from Billboard felt that Aaliyah had another smash hit on her hands and he praised her vocal styling saying 'Aaliyah's sultry vocals slide all over the futuristic beat'. When it came to the production of the song he had a mixed response to it, although he thought the synth sample and snare alternate lived up to expectations for the song he ultimately felt that the synth sample becomes grating as the song progresses.[14]

A star in the R&B world before she was even out of her teens, Aaliyah's promising career was tragically cut short by her death in a plane crash at age 22. Even with only three albums under her belt, she'd already earned a place as a talented trendsetter among the R&B elite. Following a successful transition to a more mature image, Aaliyah played a major role in popularizing the stuttering, futuristic production style that consumed hip-hop and urban soul in the late '90s. Her work with Timbaland, especially, was some of the most forward-looking R&B of its time, even while the competing neo-soul movement was gaining prominence. Aaliyah's death came on the heels of her third and most accomplished album, making it especially unfortunate that she was robbed of a chance to continue her creative development. Aaliyah Dana Haughton was born January 16, 1979, in Brooklyn, and named after a Swahili word meaning 'most exalted one.' Her uncle, Barry Hankerson, was a manager and entertainment lawyer who was married to Gladys Knight for a time, and her mother, also a singer, enrolled Aaliyah in voice lessons before she'd even started school. Still very young, she moved with her family to Detroit, where she sang in several school plays. At age nine, she successfully auditioned for the TV show Star Search, where she performed 'My Funny Valentine' (and lost). Two years later, thanks to her uncle Hankerson's connections, she spent five nights in Las Vegas performing as part of Gladys Knight's revue. In addition to his niece, Hankerson was also managing a rising R&B star named R. Kelly, and introduced the two in 1992. Kelly soon took Aaliyah under his wing and began writing and producing songs for her. Aaliyah's debut album, Age Ain't Nothing but a Number, was released in the summer of 1994 and quickly became a platinum-selling hit on the strength of two smash singles, 'Back & Forth' and 'At Your Best (You Are Love)' (the latter an Isley Brothers cover). Both songs hit the pop Top Ten and went gold, and 'Back & Forth' went all the way to number one on the R&B charts, while 'At Your Best' fell one spot short. Late in the year, Aaliyah found herself at the center of controversy when rumors spread that the 15-year-old singer had married Kelly, who was more than ten years her senior. Although both camps were resolutely tight-lipped, documents later confirmed that the two had wed in the state of Illinois that August and gotten an annulment shortly thereafter. By the time the media buzz died down, the two had parted ways both personally and creatively. In 1996, Aaliyah released her follow-up album, One in a Million, which signaled a newly emerging maturity. She worked with several different producers, most notably Timbaland, who co-wrote several tracks with his songwriting partner, Missy 'Misdemeanor' Elliott (soon to become a solo star in her own right). Several of these -- 'If Your Girl Only Knew,' 'One in a Million,' '4 Page Letter' -- became hits, with 'If Your Girl Only Knew' going all the way to the top of the R&B charts. The Diane Warren-penned ballad 'The One I Gave My Heart To' was also a Top Ten R&B hit, and One in a Million wound up going double platinum. In the meantime, Aaliyah graduated from high school (in 1997) and contributed several songs to film soundtracks. 'Journey to the Past,' from Anastasia, was nominated for an Oscar, and in early 1998 she had a major hit with 'Are You That Somebody?' from Eddie Murphy's Dr. Dolittle (in which she also made a cameo appearance). Aaliyah took her time recording a follow-up, and put the process completely on hold to start an acting career. She co-starred with martial-arts master Jet Li and rapper DMX in 2000's urban Shakespeare adaptation Romeo Must Die, and her accompanying soundtrack single, 'Try Again,' became her first number one hit on the pop charts that summer. Aaliyah subsequently completed filming on the Anne Rice vampire flick Queen of the Damned, playing the title role as a vampire queen, and was cast in a prominent role in the two sequels to The Matrix. Plus, she finally finished her long-awaited third album, with Timbaland again handling the most prominent tracks. Released in the summer of 2001, Aaliyah completed the singer's image overhaul into a sensual yet sensitive adult. The record received excellent reviews, and the first single, 'We Need a Resolution,' was a Top 20 R&B hit. About a month after the album's release, Aaliyah traveled to the Bahamas to film a video for its second single, 'Rock the Boat.' On August 25, she and several members of the crew boarded a small twin-engine Cessna plane returning to the mainland. The plane crashed shortly after takeoff, exploding on impact; Aaliyah and seven other passengers were killed instantly, and the ninth later died at a Nassau hospital. Investigations into the crash showed that the plane had been loaded far past its weight capacity, and that pilot Luis Morales had recently been arrested for crack cocaine possession (traces of which, along with alcohol, were found in his system); furthermore, the charter company, Blackhawk International Airways, had not authorized him to pilot the craft in question. Naturally, the R&B community reacted with an outpouring of shock and sorrow, and Aaliyah became the singer's only chart-topping album, eventually going double platinum. 'Rock the Boat' and 'More Than a Woman' were both posthumous Top Ten hits on the R&B chart, and Queen of the Damned was a commercial success upon its release in early 2002, topping the box office in its first week. As details continued to emerge from the plane crash investigation, Aaliyah's parents filed suit against Blackhawk Airways, Virgin Records, and several other companies. At the end of 2002, the posthumous album I Care 4 U entered the charts at number three; it mixed some of the singer's biggest hits with a selection of unreleased material. The title track was a Top 20 pop hit, and 'Miss You' topped the R&B charts early the next year. ~ Steve Huey
