August 4, 2021 – Aaliyah is Coming Website is launched.

Blackground relaunches itself then surprises Team Aaliyah with an AaliyahIsComing website, hashtag, followed by a promotional tour that would last for the next few months celebrating the release of Aaliyah’s music.

For the new few months, fans are treated with rare photography, Aaliyah on the front pages of newspapers and magazine article, Aaliyah plastered all over Time Square billboards all over the world with fans sharing their sightings.
