Aaliyah's music headed to streaming services starting this month

Aaliyah's music is officially headed to streaming services.

Following the launch of a website on Wednesday promising #AaliyahIsComing, on Thursday, the late Detroit singer's record label announced that four of Aaliyah's projects are headed to streaming platforms.

"We gone show you how to party," Blackground Records announced Thursday in a tweet, along with release dates for four of her albums.

"One in a Million," Aaliyah's 1996 album, will be released to streamers on Aug. 20; the self-titled "Aaliyah" will follow on Sept. 10; and two compilation albums, "I Care 4 U" and "Ultimate Aaliyah," will be released on Oct. 8.

The bulk of Aaliyah's catalog has been unavailable on streaming services and has been a rallying point for fans who want digital access to her music.

Wednesday's tease prompted Aaliyah's estate to release a statement denouncing those "who leech off of Aaliyah's life's work."

Aaliyah died 20 years ago this month in a plane crash in the Bahamas. She was 22.
