Aaliyah attends the Baby Phat Lingerie fashion show and preview of Kimora new lingerie line “Baby Phat” at the 4th Annual Urbanworld Film Festival launch party. The event took place in the Sony Atrium in New York City.

Aaliyah was headed to having her own clothing line of her own soon. I can only imagine the turn out for the launch party of Aaliyah's material and who all would have came out, supported, and modeled her material on the catwalk. *sigh* Aaliyah fans were robbed.

“Brooklyn” is the New Emotional Indie Folk Song from Elizabeth P.W.

Brooklyn-based composer, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and singer/songwriter Elizabeth P.W. is driven by her passion for storytelling. Elizabeth weaves together her love of folk music with modern cinematic elements to create evocative and intimate scores for film and tv, and songs that tell compelling stories through unique soundscapes. 

Elizabeth P.W. just released her new acoustic folk pop single “Brooklyn.” It has a Joni Mitchel meets Ingrid Michaelson sound in the music and lyrics. It’s a compelling song inspired by the sudden death of her aunt, who was killed by a reckless driver. She came to the realization that after over 100 years of Brooklyn being the hub of her family, she was the last living person in her family in Brooklyn.

“My family’s immigration story was that 3 sisters came from Eastern Europe to Brooklyn and formed the roots of our family tree,” Elizabeth shares. “Over the years our family grew and led to me and my two sisters. When my aunt was killed it was so striking to suddenly be the last person in my family to remain in our beloved Brooklyn. This song is about the passage of time, the world changing around you, and family. I hope it makes people think of their own families, of their own stories. It’s important to hold onto your stories. This song has become even more poignant to me with the arrival of my baby niece, Maya. Our family story has centered around strong women and the next generation has arrived.”

Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/track/5z93ZO4Y3dX611HO5EZki5?si=6fb1bed7a3694516

Her music has premiered in films at the Tribeca Film Festival, Hollyshorts, DOC NYC, Urbanworld Film Festival and Raindance. She’s written the music for everything from non-profit campaigns to congressional campaigns, her recent scoring work includes Stacey Maltin's debut feature film, Triple Threat, which was released in theaters and on streaming services June 2022. She scored Gabriella Canal and Michael Fearon's short documentary, Seasons, which was published by The New Yorker and was honored as a 2022 Student Academy Award Winner. Elizabeth produced and scored the 2021 NAACP Image Award nominated short film, Gets Good Light. She is also a recipient of the 2020 - 2021 Alan Menken Scholarship. 

In 2018, Elizabeth partnered with the innovative non-profit, Emily’s Entourage, to turn her debut single into a fundraising and awareness campaign to fight rare mutations of Cystic Fibrosis. The song, “Anyway” is performed by two-time Tony nominee Laura Osnes (Grease, Cinderella, Bandstand), Gideon Glick (Spring Awakening, Significant Other), Christy Altomare (Mamma Mia, Anastasia), Javier Muñoz (In The Heights, Hamilton) and Sarah Levy (Netflix’s Schitt’s Creek).
