LOS ANGELES – Pop diva Whitney Houston will release a new album in September, her first in seven years, Arista Records said on Thursday, announcing the long-awaited comeback for the talented but troubled star.
The as yet untitled album will be released on September 1, Arista said.
Since her career kicked off in 1985 with her self-titled debut, Houston has sold more than 170 million records, singles and videos around the world. Houston (45) is one of music’s most decorated female artists, with more than 400 awards.
Trained as a gospel singer, some of Houston’s best-known hits include ‘How Will I Know’, ‘Greatest Love of All’, and ‘I Will Always Love You’ from the 1992 movie ‘The Bodyguard’, in which she also starred.
In recent years, she made headlines for her troubled personal life, including stints in rehab and a 2007 divorce from husband Bobby Brown.
Houston’s most recent public performance was in February at a pre-Grammy party. – Nampa-Reuters
