With more than 120 million albums and 50 million singles sold in the whole world, Whitney Houston is imposing as an artist with an exceptional career that has influenced an entire generation young singers.

In 2002, Whitney returns to us with "Just Whitney" (Whitney quite simply) her first album of the 21st century, of personal resolve which shows the maturity and evolution of an artist to the multiple talents of an interpreter, actress, producer and businesswoman. "This album evokes the things of the life: to raise his/her children, to be a woman or a girlfriend with all that implies," declares Whitney. Writers and producers who participated on the album were chosen by Whitney and Antonio "L.A." Reid. Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Missy Elliott, Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs, Teddy Bishop and Gordon Chambers in particular have assisted Whitney to make this album.

Just Whitney... includes several ballads, "Try It On My Own" (written by Babyface and Carole Bayer Sager), "My Love" that Whitney interprets in duet with husband Bobby Brown, and a remake of "You Light Up My Life" (interpreted originally by Debby Boone in 1977), but also has more groovy titles such as "Love That Man" and "Things You Say," written and produced by Missy Elliott in an old-school vein.

"One Of Those Days," the single in promotion produced by She'kspere, is a song on the need for detention to make distance from the stress of everyday life.

In the same vein, and on the theme of the love, "Things You Say," produced and co-written by Missy Elliott, is down-tempo in an old-school style reminiscent of a Curtis Mayfield acoustic piece, while on the other hand, "Dear John Letter," another title produced by She'kspere, evokes the high and low inevitabilities of a love relationship until the final rupture.
