In 2001, Aaliyah returned to the music scene with her first full length studio album in nearly 5 years. Aaliyah's self-titled third album was released on July 17, 2001, and was hailed as the singer's most mature album to date. Album tracks incorporated elements of soul, funk, electropop, power pop and even Latin pop.
The album debuted at #2 on the Billboard charts going gold in just 4 weeks. Nearly all of its tracks were written by Steve "Static" Garrett, with Missy Elliott contributing the album's fourth single, "I Care 4 U". "Aaliyah" won two posthumous American Music Awards in 2002 for "Favorite Female R&B Artist", and "Favorite R&B/Soul Album". The album has sold 4 million in the U.S and 12 million worldwide.
