Background and development [edit]

Afterwards Aaliyah'south uncle Barry Hankerson obtained a distribution deal with Jive Records, he signed her to his label Blackground Records when she was 12 years old.[1] [2] He introduced her to R. Kelly, who became her mentor, as well every bit the pb songwriter and producer for her debut studio album Age Ain't Nothing but a Number (1994). A commercial success, the album was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA),[3] selling three million copies in the United states of america and six million worldwide.[4] [5] To promote the album, Aaliyah embarked on a 1994–1995 globe bout throughout the US, Europe, Japan and South Africa.[6] [7] [8] After facing allegations of an illegal union with Kelly, Aaliyah ended her contract with Jive and signed with Atlantic Records.[nine] According to Aaliyah's cousin and Blackground Records executive Jomo Hankerson, the music manufacture "villainized" Aaliyah for her scandal with Kelly and information technology was hard to get producers for One in a Million.[10] In an interview, he said: "We were coming off of a multi-platinum debut album and except for a couple of relationships with Jermaine Dupri and Puffy, it was hard for us to get producers on the album."[ten] Aaliyah commented on the situation by proverb: "I faced the arduousness, I could've broken down, I could've gone and hid in the closet and said, 'I'm not going to practise this anymore.' But I love singing, and I wasn't going to let that mess stop me. I got a lot of support from my fans and that inspired me to put that backside me, be a stronger person, and put my all into making One in a One thousand thousand."[11]

In a press release accompanying One in a Million, Aaliyah admitted to being "a lilliputian anxious about jumping from Jive to Atlantic and changing up her audio, but that uncertainty never filters into the music."[x] However, with a new distributing deal with Atlantic and a new squad of producers, 1 in a Million was going to re-found Aaliyah'due south fanbase and broaden her mainstream appeal, as the anthology featured a wide range of producers, dissimilar Age Ain't Nothing just a Number, which was produced solely past Kelly.[12] Additionally, with the release of One in a One thousand thousand, Aaliyah adjusted a sexier image, which was quickly noticed past the public.[13] In an 1997 article discussing the music video for "One in a Million", MTV staff felt that Aaliyah was getting "all grown up and steamy in the video", to which Aaliyah responded by proverb "as far every bit it being sexy, I would adopt to say sensual. Sensual is being in melody with your sensual cocky. Sexy, I mean that's in the eye of the beholder, such as dazzler is in the heart of the beholder. And then if people term information technology sexy, it's different. So I but call up it's being sensual, I would rather term it as that."[thirteen]

Recording and production [edit]

One in a Million was recorded from Baronial 1995 until July 1996,[14] with Craig Kallman, Barry Hankerson and Jomo Hankerson serving equally executive producers.[15] Other producers involved in crafting the album include Rodney Jerkins, Jermaine Dupri, Daryl Simmons, Vincent Herbert, Craig Male monarch, Carl-So-Low, KayGee from Naughty by Nature, Missy Elliott and Timbaland. While speaking with Billboard about the development of the anthology, Atlantic Records' product-development managing director Eddie Santiago mentioned: "We wanted Aaliyah to keep growing, so nosotros didn't want to take the same suspects on her new project". In the aforementioned interview, Aaliyah discussed the management of the album: "I wanted to maintain my smooth street musical image merely wanted to exist funky and hot yet sophisticated".[12] With 1 in a Meg, Aaliyah was more involved with crafting the album's cloth by taking co-writing credits and profitable in the creative management of the project.[12] She co-wrote and was involved with the vocal arrangement of the song "No Days Go By", which was produced by Herbert and King along with Rheji Burrell.[sixteen] Initially, Sean Combs was to helm the production of One in a Million only the songs in which he collaborated with Aaliyah were never finished. According to Aaliyah, "I went to [Combs'] studio in Trinidad for a week, nosotros started working together only we couldn't stop the songs on fourth dimension. I had to exit, because I had to go to Atlanta to record with Jermaine Dupri."[11]

After plans to have Combs produce the album fell through, Herbert and King were the first producers asked to work on the album. King stated: "Nosotros came in right as she got her budget set up to get. Vincent and I were the first people she chosen, we were the first grouping. That'due south why nosotros had then much freedom to get in and create a sound because nosotros didn't have to exercise a vocal here or there. They wanted u.s.a. to become in and build a sound. We built a audio and it was a departure from R. Kelly."[xvi] Aaliyah recorded about viii songs with King at the Vanguard Studios. King stated: "Nosotros did almost eight songs and out of the eight, four made information technology", including a cover of "Got to Give It Up" by Marvin Gaye and "Never Givin' Up".[16] Aaliyah decided to cover "Got to Give It Up" considering she "wanted some real party songs, so when my uncle played me that [original track], I thought of how I could make it dissimilar. Slick Rick [who had been in jail] was on work release at the time, so Vincent got him on the song", adding: "I don't know how Marvin Gaye fans will react, merely I hope they similar it, I always think it'south a great compliment when people remake songs. I hope i day later on I'thousand not here that people will cover my songs".[xi]

"Never Givin' Up" was written by Male monarch and Monica Payne, and according to King, "We started to work on the track, writing lyrics. She sat on the floor and the commencement line, 'Sitting hither in this empty room,' considering the room was fairly empty because I had simply moved into that house".[16] The song was King's way of showing love to The Isley Brothers; it was as well an ode to the gospel group The Clark Sisters.[16] Originally, the vocal was meant to be a solo vocal simply after Aaliyah heard an earlier demo with singer Tavarius Polk, she loved his vox and the producers decided to keep him on the song, which turned it into a duet.[16] The song was recorded in ane session, with Aaliyah recording the song with the lights turned completely off in the recording booth so people could not see her confront.[sixteen] After recording songs with King and Herbert, Aaliyah and so went to Atlanta to meet with Carl-Then-Lowe and Dupri, with whom she concluded up collaborating with for three to four days. In an interview, Lowe mentioned: "I believe Jomo, Barry Hankerson'due south son, reached out to Then So Def and I remember information technology happened from there. I knew she was coming to Atlanta, and we had nothing prepared at the time". Meanwhile, Aaliyah wanted to record songs that were "simplified" and "really good".[16]

Once Aaliyah signed with Atlantic, she and Kallman discussed that it was important to observe innovative producers who were not widely known to produce the album, every bit the ultimate goal was to observe Aaliyah her ain new sound which would define her as an creative person.[16] Eventually, Kallman started meeting with multiple unknown songwriters and producers, stating: "I really just started meeting with tons and tons of new songwriters and producers, just looking for someone creative that had their own spin on things. And one mean solar day, this immature kid came in. His proper name was Tim Mosley. He started playing me beats and information technology was a actually obvious meeting of, 'This doesn't sound like anything that'southward out there and actually had its ain super exciting and electric, merely dynamic properties."[16] Co-ordinate to Kallman, "I called up Aaliyah, and I said, 'You need to meet this guy. His proper noun's Timbaland, and he's new. He'south out of the Devonte [Swing] campsite.' I said 'I think this could be your muse to really create something special.' And they hitting information technology off".[16]

Prior to meeting Timbaland and Elliott Aaliyah's label received a demo from them, of a song called "Sugar and Spice".[17] The label felt that the song was too kittenish content-wise only they liked both its structure and melody so they sent information technology to Aaliyah. Afterwards hearing the vocal, she thought that record was the best affair that she had always heard. Consequently, Timbaland and Elliott were flown to Detroit to work with her.[17] Aaliyah stated: "At first, Tim and Missy were skeptical if I would like their work, but I thought information technology was tight, merely ridiculous. Their audio was dissimilar and unique, and that's what appealed to me", adding: "Before we got together, I talked to them on the phone and told them what I wanted. I said, 'You guys know I have a street image, but at that place is a sexiness to information technology, and I desire my songs to complement that'; I told them that earlier I even met them. Once I said that, I didn't have to say anything else. Everything they brought me was the bomb."[11] Subsequently, Aaliyah began recording with Timbaland and Elliott at the Vanguard Studios in Detroit; the first songs she recorded for the anthology with the duo were "Ane in a 1000000" and "If Your Girl Only Knew".[11] After spending a calendar week recording songs at the Vanguard Studios, the trio flew to Ithaca, New York, to work on more songs at the Pyramid Studios.[eleven]

The song "The One I Gave My Eye To" came into fruition when Diane Warren expressed interest in working with Aaliyah; Warren said: "I remember actually liking Aaliyah and wanting to work with her."[sixteen] Warren reached out to Kallman to express her wish to work with Aaliyah and Kallman agreed to the collaboration. Warren'due south goal in working with Aaliyah was to have her perform a certain song that she would not have usually performed to showcase a different side of her, which included displaying her vocal range in a different way than what she was used to doing.[16] One time Warren was on board, producer Babyface was chosen to produce the song. Due to unforeseen circumstances, he was unable to complete the work, then he enlisted producer Daryl Simmons to supervene upon him instead.[xvi] Simmons would go on to produce the anthology version of the vocal, while producer Guy Roche would go on to produce the unmarried version.[18]
