A new Whitney Houston album is on its way. Music industry executive Clive Davis confirmed the news of a live Whitney Houston album to The Los Angeles Times.
Davis brought up the fact that Houston never had a live album released. “Whitney never had a live album,” he said. “I really want everyone to know … exactly why during her time she was considered the greatest contemporary singer in the world.”
At this moment, Davis is reviewing her live performances. “I’m going through all these recordings of her performances now, many of which I wasn’t at, such as when she was in South Africa,” said Davis. “It’s a revelation: You really hear how astonishing and powerful and compelling she was in a way that wasn’t captured on the studio albums or in her movie performances.”
The untitled live Whitney Houston album is expected to release this year.
It’s been nearly two years since Houston’s death, who died on Feb.11, 2012, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills — the same place where Clive Davis’ annual pre-Grammy Gala is held. Late that fall, “I Will Always Love You: The Best of Whitney Houston,” a compilation album, was released in memory of Houston.
