Luther Vandross was outed as gay after his death.

Timbaland is a man of his word.

E! News reports, on Christmas Day Timbaland dropped a previously unreleased song called “Shakin,” which features Aaliyah in all her sultry glory, as well as sounds from Timbaland and Strado.

The music takes us right back to the 90s, and it’s a perfect way to remember Aaliyah, who was killed 14 years ago in a tragic plane accident.

“Aaliyah.. This is for you baby,” Timbaland tweeted out on Friday along with the new music.

The song is part of a larger mixtape called King Stays King and is part of the larger, full-length Textbook Timbo project to be released early next year.
