Album Introduction
Newark-born Whitney Elizabeth Houston combines soaring vocals, polished dance-pop and soulful ballads on Whitney, her second studio album. Originally released in 1987 on Arista, it balances exuberant singles with intimate performances that showcase her control, phrasing and remarkable vocal range.
Production from Narada Michael Walden, Michael Masser, Kashif and Jellybean gives the album a varied yet cohesive sound. “I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)” and “So Emotional” supply its infectious energy, while “Didn’t We Almost Have It All” and “Where Do Broken Hearts Go” reveal a more reflective side.
The eleven-track album closes with “I Know Him So Well”, a duet with Whitney’s mother, Cissy Houston. This later reissue retains the familiar portrait artwork and the original album’s blend of bright pop production and expressive balladry.
Stand-Out Tracks
I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)
Bright synthesisers and an irresistible rhythm frame one of Whitney’s most joyful performances. Beneath the celebratory chorus, her delivery gives the song’s longing for connection an emotional pull.
Didn’t We Almost Have It All
A restrained opening grows into an expansive ballad, giving Whitney room to shape each phrase. Her movement from quiet reflection to full-strength singing makes the arrangement feel dramatic without losing its intimacy.
So Emotional
A punchy beat and sharp instrumental accents give this track its immediate momentum. Whitney’s rhythmic delivery and powerful chorus bring a rock-edged energy to the album’s polished pop sound.
Where Do Broken Hearts Go
A gently unfolding melody provides the setting for a searching, expressive vocal. The gradual build highlights Whitney’s ability to turn a direct romantic lyric into a commanding performance.
I Know Him So Well
Whitney and Cissy Houston bring contrasting vocal colours to this interpretation of the song from Chess. Their interplay gives the closing track a distinctive character and ends the album on a reflective note.
