Rare Image of Aaliyah {in all black} in Paris 2001 at her album release party along side Derek Lee, Eric Ferrell, and the MTV crew that was following her for her MTV Diary episodes.

I had this image for almost a year now and planned to share it around this time. I was going to share this for my bday (yesterday) but was having a hard time finding it AS WELL AS the source; it appears they either changed their name, deleted their account, or blocked me because their account just doesn't exist anymore. Thank GOD I saved this to my computer and was able to find it, other wise it might just be gone forever.

16 releases, all of which have cult status

Do you have a favorite or is your favorite LP missing?

My album comes out in five days and the amount of emotions surrounding that feels like I have no idea how to put it into words which I always find it so funny to be at a loss for words when it's literally my job to conjure up words and feelings into a regurgitated state that somehow makes sense

It feels wrong to be using my platforms for that though when there are so many other issues here at play - the government failing us in more ways than one. Our world burning - people unable to get access to the things they need. Loss, grief, pain.

Something I've adapted to over the years is the idea that two things can be true at once -- and this relates to almost everything (or so I've come to believe)

I can be feeling everything I'm meant to feel about what it means to be releasing an album in full on the left side of my entire body while the other half of me is processing the immense grief circulating the world right now and all of that is WAY bigger than me and WAY bigger than my silly little album about my own pain

But I feel them both, at the same time, in the same amount, in equal parts and so I'm trying to find a way for my presence in both of them to exist in equal and proper juxtaposition

This album is called QUIET, IN YOUR SERVICE

An old way of being -- an old way of making myself small and not saying anything in every area of my life due to fear. Fear that I'll say the wrong thing, fear that I am going to make someone mad, fear that someone is going to go away, fear that my feelings and thoughts and ideas are too much

But it's the fear of fear that keeps us stuck

My goal with this album is to stop doing that - and learn how to use my voice in every sense of the word.

I hope this album inspires you to do the same

In every area of your life

In your heart, in your relationships, at your job, in your community, in your government, in your friendships, in the way you show up for yourself and everyone around you

I encourage you to donate to those effected by the fires, and please feel free to send me any links you'd like me to reshare as well

All my love

Alexandra
