Whitney Houston is on the comeback trail, record industry icon Clive Davis told MTV yesterday during rehearsals for his pre-Grammy gala. According to Davis, Houston was expected to rehearse last night for a special performance at the event, which is always a blockbuster affair — it’s where Davis unveiled Alicia Keys and Leona Lewis. Davis also insisted that Houston, whose last album of original material was 2002’s Just Whitney, is ready to return to the spotlight.
“You wait for the great songs to be written,” Davis said of Houston’s hiatus. “The great hits Whitney has given to the public for so many years — you keep encouraging and setting the bar. R. Kelly and Whitney just went into the studio with a great song called ‘I Look to You.’ ” Davis is credited with discovering Houston, so the singer’s reclamation project is especially meaningful to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee who also signed artists like Aerosmith, Janis Joplin and Donovan over his long storied career.
Davis hinted at another new Houston song, a David Foster-produced ballad entitled “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength.” Foster also co-wrote Houston’s “I Have Nothing” from The Bodyguard soundtrack and helped produce her 1998 album My Love is Your Love.
“The same way her debut album took a while to put together, you just don’t do it by going into a computer. You wait for the material to justify a new album,” Davis said. “Pretty much, it’s come in.” Rock Daily will be at Clive Davis’ gala tonight in Los Angeles, so make sure to check our Grammy hub to find out whether or not Houston makes a grand comeba
随意翻了下！ 不准确的。
Whitney Houston 正式踏上复出之路，唱片界偶像 Clive Davis 在 Grammy 颁奖彩排中向MTV透露了这一消息。根据Davis所言，Houston 昨晚尝试的彩排了一些曾经的流行佳作，而这也是Davis认为Alicia Keys 以及 Leona Lewis无法超越的地方。Davis 同样坚信2002年的那个最原汁原味的Houston将重新回到聚光灯下。
“你一直等待着有人写出那首好歌，”Davis谈起Houston的音乐空白时说。“Whitney对公众的影响力已经持续很多年了——而你要做的只是继续支持下去。”R.Kelly and Whitney刚刚去棚内录了首很棒的歌，名字叫“i look to you”。Davis对Houston是有信心的，歌手的重生对于摇滚界里的传奇人物们而言有着非凡的意义，诸如Aerosmith，Janis Joplin以及经历传奇生涯后的Donovan。
Davis暗示另一首新歌是由David Foster创作的“I didn't know my own strength"。Foster也是Houston的《保镖》原声专辑里“i have nothing"的共同创作人平且帮助Houston制作了1998年的专辑《My love is your love>>.
Davis还谈到‘这张专辑和首张专辑一样花了一些时间来整合，不过现在你什么都不用做，基本都靠电脑了。你等待着这张新专辑的内容都经得起推敲。”“可以说已经很接近了。” 每日摇滚杂志将会出现在Davis狂欢夜的现场，锁定Grammy的活动，看看Houston是否真的华丽回归。 |
