The Greatest Music
Whitney Houston
The 594th greatest album of all time
Whitney Houston is the 1985 self-titled debut album by Whitney Houston. Rooted in pop and contemporary R&B with dance-pop and electronic 1980s production, it pairs bright, synth-driven uptempo tracks with lush ballads and showcases Houston's wide range, precise phrasing, and vocal control. Produced by a team of pop and R&B producers, the record helped define her crossover appeal and contains songs that became central to her repertoire.
