Whitney- 'I Look To You'- A Gem of a Song
The title track and second single from her last ever album of new material was a big club hit but the album version was a beautuful ballad...such a lovely song and a beautiful video too...
RIP Whitney. |

Her voice for me, sounds so different on that final album. She is more husky in tone. Its a shame in many ways as you can hear in her voice that she wasn't ready to return.
Her best work is the album My Love Is Your Love. |

I like the fact that her voice sounds damaged on this song. It makes it more emotional and more tragic, especially in retrospect.

I'm sick of people going on about her damaged voice, it would have deteriorared with age anyway, look at Mariah.

The era of I look To You was overlooked. Very good R&B album i would urge any fans or potential fans to check out

It was written by R Kelly! I think he's an amazing song writer!

That whole era is underrated IMO; `Call You Tonight', `I Didn't Know My Own Strength' et al are amaze.
