"My Love Is Your Love"
Rumors of a greatest-hits package had
been flying, but as millions of converts held their breath, Whitney
Houston arrived into the studio only to emerge--amid a flurry
of drama screaming "diva" (a live Web broadcast of
the international press conference revealing the album, and a
veil of secrecy shrouding the new material)--with her first nonsoundtrack
album in eight years. So is it worth all the hype and hoopla?
Probably. There are no real surprises,she try to defend her marriage
on the Elliott-produced "In My Business." Elliott's
other effort, the slow-burning "Oh Yes" is a high point,
but the hands-down driving force of this record is the multiplatinum,
multi-octave power pairing of Houston with Mariah Carey on "When
You Believe." --Rebecca Wallwork |
Customer review from Amazon
Reviewer: zaki from Singapore
Houston is trying to update her
sound and she tries hard. Invitng collaborators from all types
of R&B and pop music, she tries hard to be hip. And it works.
The first 3 tracks are the strongest points on the album. They're
top R&b tracks. "When You Believe" is the typical
diva ballad which doesn't miss but doesn't quite hit either.
Then, it picks up with "I Told You That" and other
tracks. Smooth and sensuous, its a wonderful end to the album.
That said, buy the album if you're comfortable with both R&B
and ballads. If you're not, you're better off buying the singles. |
