Latto Flips Aaliyah Classic On Smooth New Single “Somebody”

Latto is back with a sultry new single, “Somebody,” flipping Aaliyah’s 1998 hit “Are You That Somebody?” into a modern-day bop with attitude, flirtation, and undeniable confidence. Sampling the late R&B icon’s beloved track from The Nutty Professor soundtrack, Latto taps into nostalgia while bringing her own Southern swagger. On “Somebody,” she lets her love interest know exactly what she likes—and expects—while gliding over a hypnotic beat laced with early-2000s energy and updated finesse. The release comes just ahead of her overseas tour run, signaling she's not just coasting off hits—she's actively expanding her catalog and audience. With an ear for timeless vibes and a sharp pen to match, Latto continues to show she's built for longevity. “Somebody” is flirty, grown, and radio-ready—proving once again that Latto knows how to strike the perfect balance between street and sexy.
