The wait is over! Whitney Houston has picked September for her highly anticipated return to the spotlight.
News of the former "I Will Always Love You" singer's expected release period follows years of speculation over Houston's anticipated comeback. An effort that has been linked to everyone from Diane Warren to R. Kelly.
According to a release from Arista Thursday, Houston's album, her first in seven years (since 2002s "Just Whitney), has officially been green-lit for September 1.
Earlier this year, producer/songwriter's Diane Warren and David Foster weighed in on Houston's new project stating:
"Whitney is a girl that
everybody would like to see come back and, in this case, it really would be a comeback. A lot of
people say, 'Come back? I never left.' But Whitney did leave and she hasn't recorded in about 10
years, I believe. So this truly would be a comeback," said Foster.
Since her
1985 self-titled debut, Whitney Houston has built an illustrious career that has
generated over 170 million combined worldwide sales of albums, singles
and videos.
Cited by the Guinness Book of World Records as music’s
“most awarded female artist of all time,” with an unsurpassed tally of
411 awards, inclusive of 6 Grammy Awards, 2 Emmy Awards, 23 American
Music Awards and 16 Billboard Music Awards…Houston remains a force in music today.
In addition to the release date announcement, a new promotional photograph of Houston was released Thursday.
Houston's album will be released September 1 via Arista, with a single rumored to be on tap for this summer.

No really OK... Mariah released that bulls*** album E=MC2...and because Whitney's releasing her new album...Mariah hurried up to put an album 2gether... she is a hater...she thinks she's about to outdo Whitney in movies because she's taking acting lessons. Can't wait for "HOW TO MARRY A BLACK MAN" with Tyler Perry and her other movie with Will Smith...and she's producing an all HISPANIC cast for SLEEPING BEAUTY for ABC/Disney....I hope she gets back 2gether with her X-girlfriend Robyn Crawford...they used to call Whitney the COCAINE DIVA..she should go back to being the LESBIAN DIVA..."UNASHAMED"

Whitney is truly the greatest female vocalist of the century. I can't wait for her to return and humbly reposess her position she left amongst the stars. All she has to do is take a deep breath, open her mouth and sing. The rest will be history!
This is a rarity for Ms. Houston, she usually releases her albums in November instead of September. Just get ready for MARIAH THE HATER who will also be releasing another album the same month...she has always been in compotition with Whitney saying back in '90 that Whitney doesn't write her own songs...SO WHAT...MARIAH... WHO'S GOT THE MOVIE DEALS WITH DISNEY? WHO'S MOVIES ARE THE BOMB? SHE AND TYLER PERRY WILL BE MAKING "how to marry a black man" SHE TURNS BOOKS INTO MAJOR MOTION PICTURES
