新專輯不會有曲風的大突破，只會有最好的歌曲給惠妮發揮，預計三月底四月初他將與惠妮重返錄音室一起錄製這張comeback大作。

Expect a new album from Whitney Houston by year's end, reports music icon and J Records honcho Clive Davis.

'We're going back into the studio either the last week of March or the first week of April,' says Davis, who's godfathered her career from the beginning. 'I'm extremely excited about being back with her. I've recorded with her every great album she did and we're a great team.' Davis says the album won't be a new direction for the singer who's been in the press more for her beleaguered marriage and substance abuse problems in the past few years than her music. 'It's just going to be great material. We're back and we're going to pick the best songs. It's going to be Whitney at her best. Her voice is soaring. Did you see her at the World Music Awards a few weeks ago where I got the Lifetime Achievement Award? She was dazzling! The camera panned to Celine Dion crying and Josh Groban crying and Courtney Love said 'My God, this is the best singer in the world.''

DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR

惠妮休斯頓為新專輯變臉
【2004-09-21 時報周刊 翁健偉】 
上個月在《麻雀變公主2皇家有約》的首映會上，跑出了一組最意外的嘉賓：惠妮休斯頓全家福。

是的，惠妮難得跟老公巴比布朗，還有女兒，1家3口「其樂融融」地同時露臉，讓習慣看到這對夫妻檔鬧事的記者們，眼珠差點沒掉出來。

這家人頭戴遮陽帽，也沒有穿成珠光寶氣，一派周休二日的休閒風。惠妮看到米老鼠，反應比她女兒還要像小女孩，興奮地哈哈大笑，恐怕比嗑藥還high。更令人驚訝的是，從頭到尾陪伴在她身旁的巴比，當天也沒發脾氣，還笑咪咪對麥克風說：「我們現在過得很開心，今天就是來玩的。」模樣比新好男人還乖。

畫家Piven為BMG最近推出的一系列15張精選碟繪製封面。Piven以人像畫(尤以面部)見長，過去12年來得獎無數，他的畫作從Madonna到教宗都有，且屢被刊登於Time, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, New York Times等主流媒體。

然而畫風一向幽默且略帶諷刺意味的他，這次卻遇到了難題─這次他得正經些，卻同時不失他自己的風格。

15個封面裡，貓王、Iggy Pop、凱莉米諾對他來說都不成問題，最令他感到棘手的卻是惠妮。Why? 「她的臉部線條非常精緻，幾條線畫得不對，整個感覺就變了。」Piven說。「其他的封面幾天就可完成，惠妮的卻花了我兩個月。」

Piven筆下的惠妮是短髮的，他自有一番見解：「我畫畫時尋找的是一種獨特性，一種極端性，一種視覺上的相徵特色。惠妮很漂亮，我認為她以前的短髮造型讓她非常具有特色，但當她走black panther風時，她看起來跟其他女人沒什麼不同。」

雖然Piven不怎麼愛聽流行音樂，他下一個畫畫的目標很可能還是個流行音樂的偶像 - Britney Spears。

Will Whitney Do Britney?
Access Hollywood Interview Sep. 22, 2004
 
Whitney Houston returned with a bang, gracing the Las Vegas stage at the World Music Awards. Moments after that knockout performance, Access Hollywood's Billy Bush went backstage with Whitney and the man who launched her career -- record mogul Clive Davis.

BMG即將推出一系列旗下15位藝人的精選輯，其中一張正是惠妮！CD一共收錄14首歌，將以中價版發行；DVD則只有五首歌，比較值得期待的是DVD收錄一場I'm Your Baby Tonight的LIVE，目前未知是哪一次LIVE。(註：CD與DVD分開銷售)
