Whitney Goes Street

Advantages: Features the rip-roaring title track
Disadvantages: Some tracks are merely formulaic

...1990 with a fantastic album, I'm Your Baby Tonight, which conveyed her growing maturity as an evidently diverse recording artist and merley supported her confirmed status as perharps, the greatest singer since Aretha Franklin. The I'm Your Baby Tonight (1990) album was much more street containing amixture of styles ranging from R&B, Hip-Hop, Soul & Pop. The album opens with the title track, I'm Your Baby Tonight, a nifty, commercial R&B/Pop track ...
...a high with the fantastic, I'm Knockin' which encapsulates a striking mixture of Hip-Hop and R&B, containing undertones of Jazz. All in all, I'm Your Baby Tonight (1990) is very good and an essential album to have by Whitney Houston even though it didn't enjoy the same critical and commercial acclaim as her first pair of albums had.

Review of Whitney - Whitney Houston

It's Whitney Before.... You Know

Advantages: A few big tunes
Disadvantages: Inconsistent

The Pop R&B singer Whitney made her debut in 1985 when she released a self-titled record. It is the album that gave her the chance to breakthrough as amongst collaborations with Jermaine Jackson and Teddy Pendergrass, you find that you have her offering hits such as “Greatest Love Of All”, “How Will I Know” and “Saving All My Love For You” that gave her the chance to display her strong, soulful vocals to the masses. 1. “You Give Good Love” The album ...
...this is one that has Whitney blazing out a tune that tops just about any Pop ballad of its time as she puts on a great performance and works with the powerful material she has to come out with a song that doesn’t have any weaknesses to it whatsoever to get to what I consider to be the peaking point of the record. **Five Stars** 10. “Hold Me” The album is brought to a close with this one as she links up with Teddy Pendergrass and with the Soul singer ...

Review of Whitney Houston - Whitney Houston

The Greatest Greatest Hits Album

Advantages: Great tracks old and new
Disadvantages: None

...has to be Whitney, The Greatest Hits! Just a little background on the queen of pop herself incase you haven't heard of her: Whitney Houston was born on August 9th, 1963 and is an extremely successful recording artist and actress. She comes from a very successful family and upbringing, her aunt is Dionne Warwick and her godmother is Aretha Franklin. Music was in the blood and she starting singing gospel music in her local church at aged 11. In the ...
...I tend to think that greatest hits albums are a waste of money because if you have all the artists other CD's you probably have most of the tracks anyway but this album is well worth it. It's the one place where you can get all her old classics, as well as new songs and some funky duets. The album comes as a double CD but if you get the DVD version you also get music videos of past hits, live performances and interviews. The music videos are great ...

Review of Greatest Hits - Whitney Houston

Sophisticated soul from Stax songwriter.

Advantages: A high water mark for the great Stax label, and you can hear why.
Disadvantages: South Park fans may be dissapointed.

Hayes revolutionised soul music with this, his second outing. The first symphonically orchestrated concept soul LP (blimey, quite a mouthful). It only contained four tracks, but four is more than enough with the sheer power and intensity on show here. The eighteen minute extravaganza of By The Time I Get to Phoenix is a standout matched by his twelve minute take on Burt Bacharach and Hal David's Walk On By. To give an idea of the standard of this ...
...releases on the Stax label within three weeks of release and became the first gold release for the company, a big deal in 1969. Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic (another mouthful) and One Woman keep the quality high and although the tracks are long, there is no sense of self-indulgence, helped by the shifting rhythms and tight arrangements. Hayes vocal, well before the self parody of the South park years, lends a sophisticated air to what is an ...
