From front to back, the album goes through the gamut of Timbaland’s massive ear for eclectic sounds. Timbo always knew he had something unique, so most of the production either stayed in-house - Aaliyah, Missy, Ginuwine, R&B trio Playa - or ended up on his own projects, like his debut joint album alongside Magoo. With the success of One in a Million during the 96-97 year, everyone wanted that Timbaland sound. Timbaland & Magoo, Welcome to Our World (1997) 20+ years later and the album’s title still rings true. One In a Million was where Aaliyah really formed a sound for herself, with props to Timbaland and Missy Elliott for mixing in that futuristic vibe with the mid-90s hip-hop soul that already existed on the other half of the project. You can’t even discuss ’90s R&B without mentioning this album, yet it’s nowhere to be found on any streaming platforms or as physical copies.
