Whitney Houston is to release an album this year, according to BMG US CEO Clive Davis. Billboard quote the industry exec as saying: "We're on track for a holiday release. We're not going to compromise who she is to fit into today's hip-hop radio market. The public wants Whitney material".
The singer, who has of course, suffered from drug problems in the past, has apparently been working with the likes of Akon and will.i.am on tracks for the new LP.
