Respecting the legacy of one of RB's most important artists during the '90s, Universal and Blackground waited more than a year after her death to deliver a new Aaliyah release. Considering all the time that had gone by, however, fans could be forgiven for expecting an album of all-new material to compensate for the long drought. I Care 4 U actually balances a brief hits collection with a half-dozen new songs, most of the fresh material appearing only after a run-through of the hits from her three proper albums. There isn't too much to complain about concerning the hits selection; I Care 4 U touches on most of the highlights from her seven-year career: Back Forth and At Your Best (You Are Love) from her first album, One in a Million and Got to Give It Up from 1996's One in a Million, and three tracks from 2001's Aaliyah. (Surely though, the compilers could've found room on this 14-track collection for a pair of her Top Ten greats, If Your Girl Only Knew and The One I Gave My Heart To, or the #Romeo Must Die hit I Don't Wanna.) Of the new tracks, four of the six feature composer credits from Johnta Austin (I Don't Wanna), and his affectionate, smoky ballads are perfectly suited to Aaliyah's vocals. Miss You, the presciently titled single, and All I Need don't have the edge of her classic Timbaland productions, but they stand up well -- even when they're slotted next to the best songs of her career. Aaliyah was well ahead of her time during her brief career, and I Care 4 U hangs together well, the hits showing the power of her voice and the strength of her accompanying productions, while the new songs provide an intriguing look at where Aaliyah may have taken her career had she lived. ~ John Bush, Rovi
