The segment featured on documentary ‘I’m In A Girl Group!’, which also juxtaposed soundbites from the brand’s 4th line-up.

Fans of late R&B chanteuse Aaliyah were sent into a frenzy today when Jeffrey “J. Dub” Walker, of the famed production group The Hitmen, took to Twitter to announce (click to enlarge):

Fans may recall that Walker is the craftsman behind many favorites (‘I Refuse’, ‘I Can Be’, more) of Aaliyah’s 2001 self-titled, third venture.  And, while the singer’s longtime collaborator Timbaland long revealed that the singer recorded a wealth of material for that album, only 15 made the final cut (while others featured on the singer’s posthumous greatest hits package).

Alas, while no dates have been revealed to accompany Walker’s announcement, any hints at new music from the songbird are enough to get us at TGJ headquarters excited as ‘Steady Ground’ has long been a favorite of ours.

Take a listen at the cut below (featuring contributions from the late Static Major):

Two of the craftsmen behind some of Barbadian beauty Rihanna‘s biggest hits have joined forces to try their luck at doing the same sans-Riri.  ‘We Found Love’ producer Calvin Harris has found an enlistee in singer/songwriter Ne-Yo for ‘Let’s Go’ – the first single off the Brit’s yet titled third album (due later this year).    Like Harris, Ne-Yo’s next project is also due later this year.
