Whitney Houston -I look to you (Review)

Whitney never gets away from her Christian roots when it comes to songs like I look to you and I didnt no my own strength which is my 2 favorite songs

The title song “I Look to You” was released as the first single in July 2009 giving Houston her first top 20 hit on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Songs in nearly a decade.
The second single “Million Dollar Bill” is currently making its impact as the worldwide lead single.
“I Didn’t Know My Own Strength” debuted has peaked at number 32 on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart in the US despite never being officially released. It is due to be performed on the Oprah Winfrey Show during the two-show special dedicated to Houston.

The album contains a mixture of R&B, soft ballads and dance music.
Writing and production from the album includes contributions from Swizz Beatz, Johntá Austin, Alicia Keys, R. Kelly, Danja, as well as Houston herself, who for the first time in her career is accredited as producing and writing songs. Akon has production credits on two of the album’s songs as well as being the only featured artist.

Given the fact that this album just entered charts around the world at the number one position, it seems fair to say that this album is still a warm and surprising from an artist from whom not much was expected anymore. Welcome back, Whitney !

Whitney Houston I Look to You Album Review – “I Look to You” is the the sixth studio album from Whitney Houston that will be released on August 31st via Arista Records.This is supposed to be her big comeback after 7 years of hiatus on the charts.It took Whitney 2 whole years with the producers of the moment which include Danja, Tricky Stewart, Akon, Johnta Austin, Stargate, SwizzBeatz to produce only 11 titles for fans who have been waiting forever for this CD,so was it worth the wait?
If you consider tracks like “Million Dollar Bill” (song that was written by Alicia Keys) “I Look to You” and “Salute” (R.Kelly really saved the day ) or even “Like I Never Left” ,her captivating voice and the fact that she manages to bring the 90’s sound to 2009,well, you can say she has a hit on her hands.
But Whitney’s CD has no modern sound,no real club banger,will she be able to connect with the young crowd? Furthermore there are no refreshing topics explored on the record,one leitmotif : overcoming difficult moments.
Let me be real and say that this is not the sensational comeback album that I was hoping for,but then again according to her song “Salute” she has “always been there”.









With over 170 million combined albums, singles, and videos sold worldwide during her career with Arista Records, Whitney Houston has established a benchmark for superstardom that will quite simply never be eclipsed in the modern era.
