It's been 11 years since the release of this near flawless album and also 4 years since the stars untimely death. "Age Aint Nothing But A Number" was released at the start of the summer of 1994 the year that music was starting to mean something to me. Being 8 at the time i was just coming into my own as people say...music wise and this album was one of the big influences of my life. Even today most of the material on it can't even match what music was back then. It's definately a great summer album especially the 1st two tracks "Throw Your Hands Up" & the smash hit song "Back & Forth" which propelled the then 14 year old the person she became by the time her 3rd album was released. Other highlights on the album include the fantastic cover of the Isley Brother's classic "At Your Best (You Are Love)" which really compliments her voice and does the song alot of justice, also "Down With The Clique" which at the time was my favourite song on the album. The title song was also a favourite of mine and listenin' to it even today just takes it back. "No Knows How To Love Like You Do" is a great uptempo track and also "Street Thing" is also a note worthy song which you can tell has R.Kelly written all over it "Young Nation" is just a great feel good song as well as "Old School" and the great closer "I'm Down" even the remix to "Back & Forth" makes the original seem a little inferior...just a little though hehe.So if you love 90's R&B, Aaliyah or just love really great music get this album its a classic album and im glad i have it my collectionTop 5 1.At Your Best (Your Are Love)2.Down With The Clique3.Age Aint Nothing But A Number4.Young Nation5.Back & Forth
