Billboard大好評! 說她是一位 TRUE DIVA.
在這暌違樂壇七年的第一首單曲中, 惠妮休斯頓唱出具有脆弱感卻有控制力的歌聲。她帶著這首恬淡的, 充滿令人引起共鳴歌詞的, 訴說從失去名聲後再度站起來的抒情曲, 再度成為世人關注的焦點。 "當我躺下來,上天請聽我說", 休斯頓這樣唱著, 她像加注標點符號般, 為每個音節注入了充滿堅強意志力的沈著自信, "經歷了這一切,我還能依靠誰?" 填詞人是本身也走過事業低潮並成功再出發的R. Kelly。歌曲的製作走極簡風, 有的只是孤獨沉靜的鋼琴和柔軟的合成樂器, 只為了襯托出休斯頓感動人心的聲音。 "I Look To You", 有如惠妮其他金曲 (Greatest Love Of All, I Will Always Love You等) 延續了她一貫豐沛情感的傳統, 也昭告了令人等待已久的, 真正Diva的回歸。
原文如下:
ARTIST: WHITNEY HOUSTON
SINGLE: I LOOK TO YOU (ARISTA RECORDS)
On the lead single from her first album in seven years, Whitney Houston is both vulnerable and in control. The singer re-enters the spotlight with a stoic ballad about rising again after a fall from grace, with all the literal resonance that brings. "As I lay me down/Heaven hear me now," Houston sings, punctuating each syllable with strong-willed aplomb. "After all that I've been through/ Who can I turn to?" The lyrics are penned by R. Kelly, himself no stranger to career downturns and revivals. And the minimalist production, which features a lone, sullen piano and soft synths, exists purely to cushion Houston's moving vocal performance. "I Look to You" stands firmly in the tradition of her most emotive hits ("Greatest Love of All," "I Will Always Love You") and signals the long-awaited return of a true diva.
