Now that Whitney Houston’s divorce from Bobby Brown has been finalized, the songstress is one step closer to her comeback.
R&B singer and songwriter Ne-Yo has heard some of Houston’s new work, and he’s impressed. “It’s all good,” he told Planet Gossip’s Matt Donnelly during a celebration for his new album, Because of You.
He’s writing some tracks for Houston, but he wants to avoid songs that scream “My name is Whitney Houston and this is my triumphant comeback,” he said. “My contribution is just going to be regular songs. You been through this, you been through that—cool! We feel you on that. But two songs of that is really all you need.”
He thinks Ms. Houston should take a look at Mariah Carey’s comeback for inspiration. “Mariah didn’t even discuss the drama that she went through,” Ne-Yo said. “She just went right in with good, quality tracks.”
Ne-Yo is also in talks to collaborate with Will.I.Am to write new tracks for Michael Jackson.
