Aaliyah Fans Displeased With The Weeknd Collab 'Poison'

Aaliyah fans have taken to the streets of Twitter to write 4-page letters about their disappointment with “Poison,” her posthumous collaboration with The Weeknd.

The biggest issue amongst fans was the mixing of Aaliyah’s vocals on the track.

Listen to the song below.

Read a few reactions to the track below.

This new Aaliyah song didn't need to happen. I'm listening and it sounds like a rough demo track they didn't have stems for. I do like the idea of lo go vocals on a hi Fi track but also the filters and pitched up vocal is ….a choice c

@Blackground Y’all need to fix the mixing on Aaliyah’s voice… other than that the song was cute https://t.co/fCHo9JX6S4

Sorry but this sounds awful. If you don’t have a decent quality vocal recording from Aaliyah then maybe don’t proceed with a potato-quality recording that just makes this whole thing sound amateur and even a little disrespectful to her legacy https://t.co/V8sz16lyi6

Y’all ever mixed something too much and it came out all extra flat when you cooked it? That’s Aaliyah’s vocals on Poison.

I love #Aaliyah but truth be told it doesn't even sound like her.Aaliyah's vocals are clearly the focus of this track and with that in mind, whomever is responsible for the mixing, did a piss poor job. The distortion sounds like someone did this shit in their bathroom, pic.twitter.com/mZow6ls4cG

Why does Aaliyah sound like she left The Weeknd a voicemail and he decided to record it himself ??? Fix it now ! @Blackground

Aaliyah’s uncle is trying hard to get a hit. He doesn’t care how rushed it sounds either. Yikes.

“Poison” appears to be a huge misstep for Blackground 2.0’s newly re-launched imprint.

What are your thoughts on the new single from Aaliyah and The Weeknd?
