It is no secret that Whitney Houston was not entirely happy with
the way she was managed and being directed to the mass pop market. Her
first love was gospel and a posthumous gospel album "I Go To The Rock" is slotted for release on 24 Mar '23.
The album will include six
previously unreleased tracks along with five songs taken from "The Preacher's Wife" OST (1996), one each from "The Bodyguard" OST (1992) and "Sparkle" OST (2012) plus the title track from "I Look to You" (2009).
The first two singles are both previously unreleased. "Testimony" (which she recorded aged 17 in 1981) dropped on 9 Feb and is a traditional gospel 'stomp' and "He Can Use Me" was released on 24 Feb which has more 'soul appeal'.
The other four unreleased songs are "Bridge Over Troubled Water" (with CeCe Winans at VH1 Awards), "This Day" (VH1 Honors), "I Found a Wonderful Way", and "He/I Believe".
A documentary about Houston's love of gospel is also planned
alongside the album which spans her first performance at a local
church through to the release of the soundtrack for The Preacher's
Wife album in 1996 that went on to become the best-selling collection
of gospel music in history.
Houston released just seven solo studio albums between
1985 and 2009 (along with another seven OSTs) before her untimely and tragic death aged 48 in
2012.
Only last year Houston's life was depicted in the biopic "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" with a soundtrack to go with it.
