GLOWING WHITNEY PRIMED TO MAKE HER SOUL COMEBACK

SEND TO A FRIEND

13 SEPTEMBER 2006

Before there was Mariah or Mary J Blige, Whitney Houston was the music world's uncontested number one soul diva. And recently the Grammy-winning singer revealed plans to get back in the recording studio.

At a music industry shindig this week Whitney seemed to be glowing with anticipation over what will be her first album in three years.

Chic in a sexy satin top and black trousers, the songstress looked in good shape for a comeback. Six songs have been lined up for her to record and music bosses are confident the material will go down a treat with fans despite her recent well-publicised troubles.

Whitney was accompanied by Clive Davis, the legendary producer who has masterminded her career since the early days. He was quick to reassure fans the new disc will stay true to her famous style rather than focus on a flashy reinvention. "Whitney is Whitney and there's nobody like her," he proclaimed. "It'll be Whitney, not somebody reaching for a current trend, that's for sure."
