voyage.

“This
totally unique soundtrack album brings many of Whitney’s classics into 2023 and
beyond. Contemporary, current and often scorching, if you love Whitney’s music,
you must own this album,” says Clive Davis.
Featuring
music spanning two decades of Houston’s legendary career, I Wanna Dance With
Somebody (The Movie: Whitney New, Classic and Reimagined) includes nearly
two hours of remixed and original versions of Whitney Houston songs, with
special guest features by BeBe Winans, Clean Bandit, Kygo, Lucky Daye, SG Lewis, Samaria, Jax Jones, Leikeli47, P2J, Oxlade,
Pheelz, and more.
“We are thrilled to be
releasing the amazing 35-song soundtrack to the Whitney Houston: I Wanna
Dance With Somebody film with RCA Records,” says Pat Houston, President of
The Estate of Whitney E. Houston. “We think the fans will be excited to hear
some incredible music they know and love, as well as some new
never-before-released tracks, including ‘Far Enough’ and the incredible ‘Don't
Cry For Me,’ which ends the film.”
Just
recently, RCA announced the original soundtrack would include three rare
versions of “Don’t Cry For Me” – a never-before-released a cappella, a
full-length film version by Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, and a reimagined
recording by record producer Sam Feldt. Houston’s iconic performance of the
song was made famous after a striking
rendition at the 1994 Aids Project Los Angeles (APLA) benefit concert – a
moment that would stun the audience and go down in history as one of the most
memorable performances of Whitney Houston’s illustrious career.
“I am extremely honored and proud to have been
asked to reimagine a track made by all-time legend Whitney Houston,” says Sam
Feldt. “Being a key part of this unique movie’s soundtrack by turning this
classic into a 2023 ready dance-pop banger is an absolute pleasure, and I can’t
wait for the fans to hear it.”
"I’m beyond excited
for the fans and the next generation of fans to experience the greatness of
Whitney and what her voice meant and still means to all of us,” says Rodney
Jerkins.
One of the most iconic and influential singers in music
history, Houston sold over 200 million albums throughout her legendary career,
to become one of the best-selling artists of the 20th century. Her self-titled
debut album, Whitney Houston was one of the most acclaimed albums in
modern recording history, spending 14 weeks at #1 on Billboard Top 200 and
selling more than twenty-five million copies worldwide. The streak continued
when Houston became the first female artist to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200
with her sophomore album, Whitney.
Together, the two albums spurred seven #1 singles with a catalog of hits
that include, “Saving All My Love for You,” “How Will I Know,” “Greatest Love
of All,” “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me),” “Didn’t We Almost
Have It All,” “So Emotional,” and “Where Do Broken Hearts Go.” A run that would
lead Houston to become the only Black artist to
earn three RIAA Diamond-certified albums.
