Information Review

After a long dry spell, the best female singer in the modern era finally returns with an album of pleasing songs that recall the sound of her greatest years. There is nothing here that will be considered mind-blowing and that is perhaps a good thing. Whitney Houston has not resorted to using rappers and annoying song samples that so many of today's performers do. Dedicated fans should not be disappointed. From the up tempo opening "Million Dollar Bill", the songs reflect tasteful and mature compositions. "Call You Tonight" is another infectious number but the majority here are ballads that Whitney does so well. Stand-outs include the title track, "I Didn't Know My Own Strength" (written with Houston in mind by Diane Warren), "Salut" and a gorgeous duet with Akon "Like I Never Left". Houston's voice is a bit more gravely than in the past but she still displays a hint at her former greatness on "A Song For You".
