The wait is over -- Whitney Houston is finally making her comeback on
Sept. 1 with an as-yet-untitled album on Arista Records. For her return, the
label has set up a countdown on the New Jersey-bred artist's official site,
WhitneyHouston.com, which will also preview selected tracks slated to appear
on the album in coming weeks.
Producers and songwriters said to aid with the set include will.i.am,
Sean Garrett and Akon, although there is no confirmation on whether a duet
with Akon, "Like I Never Left," which leaked last year, will make the cut.
"The voice is there; I don't think anyone could ever take that from
her. As long as we apply that voice to hit records, she'll be right back
where she left off," Akon told Billboard.com back in 2007.
Houston made her first high-profile public appearance at her mentor
Clive Davis' pre-Grammy gala back in February, where she performed a
four-song set that included brief renditions of "I Will Always Love You" and
"I Believe in You and Me" plus a tent revival-style take on "I'm Every
Woman."
Houston has been dogged in recent years by drug and health issues --
including rehab stints in 2004 and 2005 -- a legal dispute with her father,
John Houston, rumored financial problems and a troubled marriage to fellow
singer Bobby Brown that ended in divorce.
