A brand new collection of Whitney Houston songs, including live and studio recordings and special features, will appear on the upcoming album, Whitney Houston – I Wish You Love: More From The Bodyguard, in honor of the 25th anniversary of the iconic film The Bodyguard.
Arriving on November 17, 2017, via a partnership with The Estate of Whitney E. Houston, Legacy Recordings, and Warner Bros., the project will chronicle the late icon’s peak achievements including never-before-released live recordings from Whitney’s historic The Bodyguard Tour (1993-1995); alternate versions of the audio recordings from the “The Bodyguard” film; an alternate version of a remix of “I’m Every Woman”; additional artwork and more.
Whitney Houston – I Wish You Love: More From The Bodyguard will be available on CD and digital configurations as well as a limited edition 2LP 12″ purple vinyl edition (to be released at a later date.) Pre-order on iTunes.
More highlights from the album include an alternate mix of “I Will Always Love You,” which features a spoken word intro of Whitney as Rachel Marron, an A Capella version of “Jesus Loves Me,” which has never been heard before and a live recording from The Bodyguard World Tour 1993-1995 of “Run To You,” which Whitney rarely performed. Also included are film and live versions of “I Will Always Love” You,” “I Have Nothing,” “Queen of The Night” and more.
Originally released on November 17, 1992, The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album, co-executive produced by Whitney Houston and Clive Davis, was the first album verified by SoundScan to sell more than one million copies in a single week, won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, has sold more than 45 million copies worldwide (and is certified 17x Platinum in the US by the RIAA) and is the top-selling soundtrack album of all-time. “The Bodyguard” marked Whitney’s debut as a movie star while the soundtrack–driven in part by Whitney’s monumental interpretation of “I Will Always Love You”–became of one of the best-selling albums of any genre in history.
