Artist: Aaliyah
Composer: R. Kelly
Aaliyah’s debut album, Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number, brought something fresh to the 90s R&B scene with a voice that was mature, yet playful and youthful at the same time. Released in 1994, the album instantly made her an R&B sensation with tracks like “Back & Forth” and “At Your Best (You Are Love),” both of which have become timeless classics. Aaliyah’s smooth voice and chill vibes made listeners fall in love with her style, and her cool, laid-back persona gave the album a vibe that was unmistakably hers. Produced by R. Kelly, the album was the perfect mix of classic R&B grooves with a new-age twist, making Aaliyah the voice of a generation. Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number showed that Aaliyah was going to be a legend, setting the stage for the future of R&B.

Songs like “Back & Forth” and “At Your Best (You Are Love)” sound amazing on vinyl—there’s a warmth and richness that adds depth to every track. The pressing quality is top-notch, and it’s a beautiful tribute to one of R&B’s most iconic stars. Though pricey, this is a rare and timeless collector’s item. Highly recommend it for serious fans!

Aaliyah’s debut album is legendary, and while Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number on vinyl captures the essence of her signature smooth vocals, the pressing quality leaves something to be desired. Songs like “Back & Forth” still bring that 90s R&B magic, but the overall sound feels a bit flat compared to other vinyls I own. It’s a great collector’s item for Aaliyah fans, but at this price point, I was expecting a bit more in terms of audio depth and clarity.
