Rap-Up.com || New Music: Whitney Houston f/ Akon

The legendary Whitney Houston returns with the appropriately titled “Like I Never Left” produced by and featuring hitmaker Akon. There is no official confirmation whether the mid-tempo song is the first single or if it even will appear on her seventh studio album due out this fall on Arista Records.

“I want you to love me like I never left,” the diva sings over the Konvict beat. Do you still got love for Whitney like she never left? Take a listen below and let us know.

They could have left Akon off the track, Whitney is a legend she doesn’t need guest features. That’s just my opinion. Nice song though.

I’m so proud of you Nippy! It’s amazing how high one can soar when they rid themselves of dead weight (Bobby Brown).

I love it. I hope it is the first single, it has that 90\’s R&B vibe mixed in with a modern touch by Akon.

I think people who have been with her through her journey and those who never left her side will understand her….and this record will be bought..it has a personal message of survival..forgiveness..love andthe high&lows of life…IT NICE TO SEE SOMEONE TRYING TO LIVE A STRAIGHT LIFE BY TAKING A BRIGHTER PATH..WHO CARES IF YOU NEVER GET THERE..WHAT MATTERS IS YOU ARE ONTHAT PATH…MILLIONS AROUND THE WORLD WILL BUY HER NEW CD FOR DIFFERENT REASONS….GOD IS FOR EVERYONE..PERSONALLY I AM LOVING THIS TRACT…EACH LYRICS IS CLEARLY FROM HER HEART

WHY AKON? WHYYY??

He adds NOTHING to the song.

BOOOOO.. Please remove his vocals and let Whitney sing them all

whats next, a REMIX with him, Busta, Missy, Diddy and Lil Kim

NOOOOOO..

Looking forward to the Album though..

Welcome back, wHITney.
