Whitney Houston feat. Akon

about

A studio album from Whitney Houston has been tentatively scheduled for release in November 2008. This will be Houston's seventh studio album for Arista Records, and her first collaboration with her mentor, Clive Davis, in eight years. In 2004, after Houston performed at a tribute for Clive Davis, the two announced plans for a new album to be released in 2005. In March 2007, Davis announced that Houston would soon enter the studio. Houston then spent the rest of the year recording new material. Davis subsequently announced to JET Magazine that the album would be released in the spring of 2008, but the release has since been delayed to late 2008. In March 2008, Davis said that four songs have been decided on, including tracks featuring Akon, will.i.am, and Sean Garrett. "We're not going to compromise who she is to fit into today's hip-hop radio market," Davis said. "The public wants Whitney material." Songs under consideration for the album include "Nothing But Love," "Never Give In," "Open Your Eyes," "Undefeated" and "I Didn't Know How Much Strength I Had," composed by Diane Warren. Producer Eric Lee Hudson is reported to have worked on tracks for the record. Like I never left is the first track to leak from the album and is a collaboration with Akon.
