Request Magazine Review

There is a promo pic and a review of "my love is your love" in the february issue of "Request magazine".(I got it free at Sam Goody).

They like all the songs but they don't like the album:

Whitney Houston
My Love Is Your Love
Score: 68
Although Whitney Houston's first solo studio album in eight years is intended to show she can make a strong musical statement, it contains the same kind of big-sounding crossover ballads that have been the cornerstones to her appearances on previous soundtrack albums.

Besides on Houston's duet with Mariah Carey from The Prince of Egypt, producer/songwriters Babyface and David Foster, along with tunesmith Diane Warren, have joined forces to create songs that cry out for a big-screen link. The embittered "I Learned From the Best," for example, is the best James Bond theme never to be graced by a sharpshooting 007. But it's the up-tempo numbers, most produced by 21-year-old Rodney Jerkins ("The Boy Is Mine") and filled with vitriolic words directed at a cheating partner (!), that support the claim that this is "Whitney, like you've never heard her before!"

True, cuts such as "It's Not Right but It's Okay," the Timbaland-sounding "Heartbreak Hotel" (featuring Faith Evans and Kelly Price), and "Get It Back" show Houston keeping in step with R&B's younger generation. But that's just it, these tracks simply keep step rather than lead. Amid a who's who of producers that includes Missy Elliott, Wyclef Jean, and Lauryn Hill, Houston sounds as if she can barely keep up.

The material, full of widely mixed emotions, is hard to believe or feel deeply. In fact, some of Jerkins' tracks sound embarrassingly like his work with Brandy.

The intention behind this album-to combine the classic with the contemporary-is spot-on. The execution, however, is not.

They give a 68/100 (witch means "for fans only")
