The late Aaliyah will finally have her music available on Spotify and all other streaming services starting August 20th. The 1996 classic One in a Million will arrive August 20th on Spotify, followed by her self-titled album and more work.
Fans have wished for this for years, but Aaliyah’s estate did not want the music publicly available via stream. “There was a conversation we had that didn’t want the music out, and whatever my sister told me, I tried to do what she wanted me to do,” Barry Hankerson said during a Billboard interview. It isn’t certain as to why this feud between estate and industry has gone on, but it is certain that something isn’t quite right about it.
