Before her untimely and tragic death in 2001, Aaliyah was a fast-rising music superstar. Though she only released three albums, she recorded many more songs and demos. Some of these are now being leaked online and her former producer, Jeffrey Walker, says he’s working on an album of her unreleased tracks.
