Don't' call it a comeback.
But Whitney Houston is getting back into the swing of things on the music front.
And from the sound of her latest music endeavor, the "I Will Always Love You' singer may be taking a step in the right direction -- in her return to the charts.
Houston is making a stunning appearance on the soundtrack to Tyler Perry's forthcoming film 'Daddy's Little Girls' with the track "Family First," featuring her mother Cissy Houston, her cousin Dionne Warwick and someone who sounds just like her daughter Bobby Kristina.
The song is produced by Warwick's youngest son, Damon Elliot, who has worked with Pink, Mya, Destiny's Child, Kelis, Jessica Simpson and Macy Gray, amongst others.
With the refrain of "just a remember family comes first," the encouraging anthem keeps in the tradition of other superstar collaborations that have are becoming consistent with soundtracks to Perry films. On the 'Madea's Family Reunion' soundtrack, a rousing all-star ensemble comprised of Chaka Khan, Gerald Levert, Yolanda Adams, and Carl Thomas sang "Everyday (Family Reunion)."
New-school R&B crooner Jaheim, Musiq Soulchild and Anthony Hamilton join musical forces on the lead single "Struggle No More (The Main Event)."
Featuring tracks by Yolanda Adams, Brian McKnight, R. Kelly, Jaheim, Gerald Levert, and Beyoncé, 'Daddy's Little Girls' will be released via Atlantic Records on Jan. 16.
The movie, starring Idris Elba, Gabrielle Union, Traci Ellis Ross and Terri J. Vaughan is due in theaters on Feb. 14.
