“Don’t call it a comeback!”
Whitney Houston‘s back with another one… “Salute.”
[audio:http://soulculture.com/11 Salute.mp3]
I prefer this R Kelly-penned ditty to the other tracks I’ve heard so far from her new album.
A very loud dig at Bobby Brown?
Spotted on RapRadar
Thing is, Whitney doesn’t write her own stuff so effectively it’s writers putting their own words in her mouth, perhaps what is really their take on her life. I remember thinking ‘Fine’ penned by Raphael Saadiq and Q-Tip was a dig at Bobby. I quite liked ‘Like I never left’. Truth be told, this song, for me is so-so. Just like anything else out now. Disappointing for R.Kelly,he’s usually stronger melodically than that. Sounds more like Ne-yo tripe. Oh well, Whitney, she’ll always be special to me; at her peak she was one of the all time greatest female recording artists. Her voice has held out better than some of her other contemporaries still making music as well…
