MORE NEWS ON THAT UPCOMING WHITNEY HOUSTON ALBUM....

Singing powerhouse Whitney Houston has so far completed four songs for her highly-anticipated, as-yet-untitled comeback album, and four more will be recorded later this month, according to her mentor, BMG Label Group chairman/CEO Clive Davis.

The album will see production from producers and songriters such as Will.i.am, Sean Garrett and Akon. Others include Johnta Austin, R. Kelly, Diane Warren and other big-name producers. Here's what Mr Davis had to say about the upcoming product:

"We're on track for a holiday release," he said during Billboard's Music & Money Symposium. "We're not going to compromise who she is to fit into today's hip-hop radio market. The public wants Whitney material."

I am glad Whitney is going back to the sound that made her one of the most adored powerhouse vocalists in music history. It's fantastic she's not compelled to use a sound that has become the trend amongst her younger peers. I want to hear classic Whitney again and I hope we get it. I am prepared to wait as long as it takes if it means getting a quality product from one of the world's biggest music diva's. It has already been announced that they're looking at a November/December release for the new project. To cement her comeback some more, Whitney will also do a comeback concert in London on May 8th. Organisers of the Caudwell Children's Legend Ball in Battersea have already announced they've booked the diva for the charity event.
