In this episode, Angie and Steffi continue their review of Whitney Houston’s “My Love is Your Love” (1998) album. We are reviewing the album track by track. This is the second part of the album breakdown. The first five songs were discussed in part 1, and the era breakdown will take place in parts 3 and 4. 

As we do in all of our Diva Discography episodes, part 1 (technically this is part 2) is an in-depth review and discussion of EVERY SINGLE TRACK of the album. 

Because we - namely Steffi - are huge Whitney Houston stans, we are dividing our album breakdown into two separate episodes. Go back and listen to our thoughts on the first five songs in part 1.

Album Info: My Love Is Your Love is the fourth studio album by American singer Whitney Houston, released worldwide on November 17, 1998. It was Houston's first studio album in eight years, following I'm Your Baby Tonight (1990) although she had participated on three movie soundtracks during that period. My Love Is Your Love is composed of mid-tempo R&B, hip hop soul, pop and dance music, produced by musicians such as Rodney Jerkins, Soulshock & Karlin, Missy Elliott, Wyclef Jean, David Foster, Lauryn Hill, and Babyface.

Again, this is part 2 of the conversation! So make sure you listen to part 1 where we discussed the album track by track.

We hope you enjoyed our Aaliyah  “Aaliyah” journey. RIP Aaliyah.
