Anyone out there who makes such delectable tracks as Aaliyah; like Rock the Boat without too much vocal boast?

With what sadly happened to her, I don’t anybody wants to be the Aaliyah of now.

not to poo poo on todays artists, but Aaliyah may be in a league unto her own self.
This may be the last serious post I make today, take it to heart.

Not sure it’s too comparable to Aaliyah overall, but I’ve been enjoying the heck out of this H.E.R. set the past couple months: https://youtu.be/hxxcEzM8r-4
Haven’t been able to find an actual recording I like as much as that set, but either way, it’s great.

None. There was only one Aaliyah.

Yea, I can see that… I can’t think of any r&b artist I’ve heard that really compares. Something otherworldly about her and hard to define and I’m sure she would of went on to make some albums which even eclipsed what she had put out.

Real answer: No one
Fun answer: Besides H.E.R., Fka Twigs maybe?
I messed up my reading. auto tune existed 
Maybe some Aaliyah-ness to Kelela’s work.
