Photos of Studio Reservation show a trip to Melbourne Australia to record the album "AALIYAH".

Remember back in September for the 2000 VMA's, Aaliyah mentioned that she had flown 22 hours to be there that night. I'm sure she was exhausted. Can you imagine having to do this almost every day (or week) because you are filming QOTD and needing to finish your album simultaneously?

Because (well, it would just make more sense), Blackground set up flight reservations for Aaliyah's team to meet her in Melbourne Australia and record her 3rd album while she was filming her 2nd and final film (Queen of the Damned).

Aaliyah's film, 'Queen of the Damned,' began principal photography on October 2, 2000 and ended on February 27, 2001 (and almost immediately afterwards, she began Matrix).
