Whitney’s Album Finally Gets A Release Date

After years of waiting, Whitney Houston’s much anticipated ‘comeback’ album has finally been given a solid release date. The as-yet-untitled set is to hit stores on September 1st via Clive Davis’ J Records / Arista, according to the legend’s newly revamped official website. Word has it the record’s first single ‘I Didn’t Know My Strength’, which was penned by the highly acclaimed Diane Warren, is set to premiere very, very soon (sources say within the next few weeks). Ne-Yo, R. Kelly, and Swizz Beats are among the writers / producers slated to feature on the LP.

Besides being ecstatic at the fact Whitney is set to return, I’m more so anticipating Whitney and Mariah dropping album’s so close to one another. Mimi’s ‘Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel’ hits stores a few weeks after Whitney’s on September 18th. Put simply, two of the biggest voices in recent music history will have compared material, album sales, live performances and all that good stuff. Roll on September!
