Whitney's first attempt at a full studio album in 7 years celebrates the diva that stood on top of the charts through much of the 90s. It has the typical mould of her previous albums, comprising of disco inspired songs such as Million Dollar Bill to the bread-and butter sky scraping title ‘I Look to You’ ballad written by R.Kelly.

While she still possesses a phenomenal voice that the likes of Beyonce and Alicia Keys could only dream of on several tracks an untypical rasp is apparent, which somewhat limits the once flawless voice Whitney once possessed. This rasp is particularly apparent on the Warren penned ‘I Didn't Know My Own Strength’ in which finds Whitney struggling to hit the money-notes which were once effortless in her heyday.

Noteworthy songs on this album include title track ‘I Look to You’ in which a uncharacteris­tically raw voice is preaching to something greater and Akon collaboration ‘Like I Never Left’ in which some of Whitney's finest vocals on this album are present towards the climax of the song.

While her voice may not be what it once was, it is clear that Whitney still is able to inject emotion in her music that her contemporaries have not yet mastered, proving her worth in a talent deprived music industry. All in all ‘I Look to You’ is an excellent buy for Whitney fanatics as well as anyone who wants to hear a talent in full flow.
