The world lost a superstar earlier this year with the passing of Whitney Houston.
But just because she’s no longer with us, doesn’t mean that she’ll ever be forgotten. And helping remember her is her label Sony Music, who’ve announced the release of a brand new Whitney best-of in mid-November.
The lead single from the release is a newly recorded version of ‘I Look To You’ – the title track of Whitney’s 2009 album. The new version features previously unheard vocals by Whitney herself, along with newly-recorded vocals by R.Kelly, who wrote and produced the original track.
Whitney’s mentor Clive Davis is a big fan of the new version, saying, “The duet version of ‘I Look To You’ between Whitney and R. Kelly is purely and simply a knockout. I believe that everyone will remember the first time they heard it and I think a new classic is being born.”
The album from which it’s lifted is entitled ‘I Will Always Love You – The Best Of Whitney Houston’ and it’s set for release in Australia on Friday November 16.
Australia's first stop for pop!

If Clive believed so strongly in the song, why didn’t he promote it better when the original was released?
