After several years of delays, the 45-year-old powerhouse pop vocalist is returning to the music scene in an attempt to reclaim her throne.

Whitney Houston’s new album will be in stores Sept. 1.  This will be her first CD of new material in seven years.  A new  single will likely hit the radio airwaves in July. 

Although an official title for the CD hasn’t been determined, fans can pre-order the album at Amazon.com for $18.97. Yes, its expensive I know.  But I’m sure it will be worth it. 

During the past decade, Whitney’s career has been plagued with drug problems and marital problems with her ex-husband Bobby Brown.

This new CD will be  true test of Whitney’s staying-power.  If it flops, her musical career will probably be over with no hope of reviving.
