Brand new sealed double reissue compilation album.
I Will Always Love You: The Best of Whitney Houston is a posthumous greatest hits album by American recording artist Whitney Houston. The album was released on November 13, 2012 via RCA Records.
I Will Always Love You: The Best of Whitney Houston is Houston's second greatest hits collection to receive a worldwide release (her two prior compilations, Love, Whitney and The Ultimate Collection were only given limited releases in certain European territories). The album features remastered versions of hits from all of Houston's studio and soundtrack albums, with the exception of her fifth studio album, Just Whitney (2002). The tracks featured on I Will Always Love You: The Best of Whitney Houston appear either as their original album versions or as radio edits, in contrast with Whitney: The Greatest Hits, which featured many of Houston's hits in remixed form, a decision which drew some controversy among fans and critics. Internationally, the compilation was released in both standard[3] and deluxe[4] versions. In North America, the album was issued as a single-disc release, which contains the same track listing as disc one of the international deluxe edition. An alternate two-disc edition of the album was released in North America, available only through HSN. This version contains the standard 18-track version of the album, with the second disc comprising five duets Houston recorded with other artists. The album also includes new liner notes written by Clive Davis.
Among the tracks are two previously unreleased songs, a new composition titled "Never Give Up" and a new version of "I Look to You", recorded as a duet with R. Kelly, who wrote the song for Houston in 2009 and performed it at her funeral service earlier in 2012. "I Look to You" was released on September 25, 2012 as the first single from the album.[5] On November 6, 2012, "Never Give Up" was released as a lyric video on Whitney Houston's official YouTube (Vevo) channel.[6]
At the 2013 44th NAACP Image Awards, the album won two awards in the 'Outstanding Album' and 'Outstanding Song' categories, the latter of which was for "I Look To You".
In 2021, Houston's official website announced that the album would be released on vinyl on October 29. The double vinyl includes an additional track, a remix of "Higher Love", a collaboration between Houston and Norwegian DJ Kygo, which was released in 2019 to moderate worldwide success.[7] The original version of "Higher Love" first appeared as a bonus track on the Japanese edition of Houston's third studio album, I'm Your Baby Tonight (1990).
