Review

The first song in entertainment history to reach the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 based solely on radio airplay, Try Again (2000) is widely considered the biggest pop achievement for the talented and tragically short-lived pop star Aaliyah. Recorded for the Romeo Must Die (2000) soundtrack, the track is remembered by many for the Wayne Isham-directed video, which cleverly unites action-packed scenes from the movie with sensuous clips of the fetching R&B star. Moving entrancingly inside a glittering hall of mirrors, Aaliyah doesn’t have any trouble relegating Jet Li and Timbaland to supporting roles, as her alluring dance moves take front and center.
