Whitney Houston

My Love Is Your Love

Yes!

Review Score:

(10/10)
"My Love Is Your Love" is the album Whitney should have been making all these years, from the days when she released big, soaring ballads that rivaled Mariah Carey's in the schmaltz department. But on this album, we get slammin grooves, mainly produced by Rodney Jerkins. "It's Not Right, But It's Okay" could very well be Whitney's best single ever (and the Thunderpuss remix is even better); it's an assertive, self-confident number about walking out of a dead-ended relationship. "If I Told You That" (which would later feature George Michael on the grestest-hits disc) also shines, and Wyclef Jean gives the album a welcome reggae lilt on the beautiful title track. My cut of choice, however, is a song that wasn't even released: "Get it Back." Even the Diane Warren-penned "I Learned from the Best" is also pretty good (which is really saying something). Only towards the end of the album do we get a couple of subpar tunes. Nevertheless, this album finally made it cool to like Whitney, and I strongly recommend this CD.
