The most anticipated comeback album (I Look to You by Whitney Houston) in recent memory is a good effort.
Available through iTunes and on compact disc (CD), I Look to You, which I reviewed on CD, is neither terrible nor terrific and it is definitely worth a listen. The troubled singer’s previous work includes a multitude of inspirational songs, such as “The Greatest Love of All” (from the biographical film, The Greatest, about boxer Muhammad Ali) and other megahits. This 11-song collection, with mid-range ballads, light rhythm and blues and a softer, less manic vocal style, is a realistic start. She sounds like a damaged pop star who is learning to crawl all over again. I am cheering for her success.
Welcome back, Whitney.
