凭借个人首张同名专辑《Whitney Houston》中充满力量感的嗓音、自由流畅的转音以及宽广的音域,Whitney Houston 一跃成为美国家喻户晓的金牌唱将,同时也成为灵魂乐、福音音乐以及 R&B 曲风的代表人物。创作第二张录音室专辑《Whitney》时,其伯乐 Clive Davis 特意邀来知名制作人 Narada Michael Walden 担任监制,希望能帮她跳出前作过于保守的框架,呈现更加饱满完整的一面。这张专辑提升了快节奏舞曲的比重,编曲的设计感更为丰富,凸显 Whitney Houston 歌声中的活力动感。《I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)》《So Emotional》和《Love Will Save the Day》是当时最受年轻人喜爱的流行舞曲风格,Whitney 游刃有余又随性自由的演绎,在灵魂乐、Funk 和 R&B 的相互交织下营造出摩登都市的氛围。专辑末尾还收录了 Whitney Houston 与母亲 Cissy Houston 合作诠释的音乐剧主题曲《I Know Him So Well》,深情的演唱仿佛重现 80 年代两人同在夜总会表演时的场景。Whitney Houston 以极强的可塑性再次获得了商业上的巨大成功,并斩获第 30 届格莱美最佳流行女歌手奖。

From the beginning of the pop-R&B jam “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)” to the final sustained notes of “I Know Him So Well,” every corner of <i>Whitney</i> is invigorated by the dynamism and momentum of Houston’s voice. At 23 years old, she was like a young athlete in peak form, operating in total control of an awe-inspiring gift. Whether on the uplifting energy of “Love Will Save the Day” or the simmering regret of “Where Do Broken Hearts Go,” her voice always leads the music in a gust of pure soul and exuberance.
