According to music mogul Clive Davis, R&B queen Whitney Houston will release an album later this year.
Speaking during Billboard's Music & Money Symposium at New York's St. Regis Hotel, Davis said four songs have been completed for the as-yet-untitled project, and four more will be put to tape later this month.
"We're on track for a holiday release," he said. "We're not going to compromise who she is to fit into today's hip-hop radio market. The public wants Whitney material."
Tracks earmarked for the album have been produced or written by will.i.am, Sean Garrett and Akon, who told Billboard.com last year, "The voice is there; I don't think anyone could ever take that from her. As long as we apply that voice to hit records, she'll be right back where she left off."
Houston’s last original release was in 2002.

whitney i hope you pull through and i can't wait to hear your next project
ps. i write and sing songs too. so watch out girl you might be on my next project
love you whitney
I hope she comes back like a lion with the kind of music that made us fall in love with her. Real music needs to be brought back to mainstream radio. Enough of this bubble gum pop (Beyonce and Rihanna).
I am so glad...God gave her a gift and he never takes it back. God gave Bobby a gift too, hope he remembers to use it again. Go Whitney...

So WHY is he surrounding her with all of these hip/hop people?
