Whitney Houston, ‘I Look to You’
The Associated Press The last time Whitney Houston made an attempt at a comeback, with 2002’s “Just Whitney,” it was overshadowed by her continued free fall into tabloid infamy. Drug use, marital battles and wild behavior tarnished her once-regal image so much it was hard to focus on anything musical from Houston — and the fact that “Just Whitney” was just OK didn’t help matters. These days, Houston is thankfully in much better form personally and artistically. Working with an array of songwriters and producers that include proven hitmakers like Diane Warren, Akon and R. Kelly, Houston is certainly helped by top-notch material that can be as engaging as her voice. The disc starts off with a winner, “Million Dollar Bill.” The upbeat, funky R&B tune, produced by Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz, is an instant party-starter designed to get people of all ages on the dance floor.
