One of the most famous and the greatest voices of Pop returns! And this time the comeback is truly spectacular, considering what Mrs. Houston has undergone in recent years. Even years ago around 4, as photos of emaciated and spent Whitney, went through the press and it was feared that it was with her at the end, no one would have expected that Whitney is aufrappelt again and creates such a 180 degree hike. The Drogensog, in which she was advised by her now ex-husband Bobby Brown, she seemed completely to gather there. Of that Whitney close stood at the abyss and threatening to crash forever, is on the long-awaited comeback album "I Look To You" nothing to see and nothing to hear - even if they lyrically places on the experiences of the past years received (for example, "I Did not Know My Own Strength"). While Whitney's voice has changed over the years and even if the unstable life of Mrs. Houston in recent years is also vocally gone not quite without trace past her - one thing is rock solid: It is BACK and in good shape! Alone this feat from the swamp of drugs and other excesses and scandals back to its former size had probably not thought possible. All the more gratifying that their new star shines again!
Nothing was left to chance at the comeback: So Alicia Keys, Akon and R. Kelly helped with to turn "I Look To You" a varied album between soulful ballads and fluffy R & B numbers that are a Whitney Houston worthy.
"I Look To You" is not a masterpiece, and musically not considered a milestone in music history - but the ideal value for Whitney might be huge. Finally, one must bear in mind that Ms. Houston has squandered Press reports suggest that a large proportion of their assets for drugs and alcohol and more or MIDER begins again at zero. Since it is no coincidence that it has its discoverer and longtime producer Clive Davis brought on board, who was in charge, after all, for a considerable part of Whitney's successes in the past.
And even though "I Look To You" not their best album is - these are not enough songs on it and the songs are generally somewhat too unspectacular and interchangeable - it's Whitney himself that rausholt vocally their best from every song and thereby a clean , delivers modern and good album that both lovers of modern R & B music, powerful voice Ladies and ballads Friends should satisfy alike. Your star shines again!
