No matter what the budget is, Will Young always manages to make a good video. We didn’t think this would be a single as we are still waiting for “Runaway” to be released and we are growing to love “Happy Now.” Oh, and also “Good Things.” Okay, we love the whole album. Still, Echoes is as fresh as the day it was released. Get it!

Even in midtempo, the legendary Whitney Houston cracked the code. Lovely song. ”My Love Is Your Love” is a 1999 song by American R&B singer Whitney Houston. Released as the fourth single off Houston’s album of the same name, it peaked at #4 in the U.S., #2 on the U.S. R&B chart, and #2 in the U.K. It was later certified platinum by the RIAA.

Along with the original mid-tempo reggae-influenced version that was produced by Wyclef Jean, a dance remixed version by Jonathan Peters was also released. The single was extremely successful worldwide, hitting the Top Ten in nearly two dozen international markets. At over three million units sold globally, it stands as Houston’s third most successful single, after “I Will Always Love You” and “I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)“.

This is one of the singles of Whitney’s career that sometimes goes unnoticed because it was not on her album. Also, because it was only released in the UK. ”Something in Common” is a song by singers Bobby Brown and then-wife Whitney Houston that was featured on Brown’s 1992 album Bobby. Despite the album’s release in mid-1992, this was recorded in September 1991 in Atlanta, Georgia, immediately after Brown and Houston became engaged. The single version was recorded in 1993 and also available on Brown’s 1993 compilation album, Remixes in the Key of B. It stands as the couple’s first musical collaboration and the only one released as a single. The song examines two unlikely people coming together as they find “something in common.”

Another one of those tracks that resonates so well with Whitney’s great voice. “Didn’t We Almost Have It All” is the second single from Whitney Houston‘s second album Whitney, and was nominated for Song of the Year at the 1988 Grammy Awards. The song was written by Michael Masser and Will Jennings and was released in August 1987. Originally, another song was to be released as the second single, “For The Love Of You”, but Arista Records decided to release “Didn’t We Almost Have It All” instead because all Houston’s singles had to be original material at this point of her career.

The single was number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 even though there was not a video for the song. A live performance of the song recorded during Houston’s successful 1987–1988 Moment of Truth World Tour was played on MTV, VH1, and BET. The performance is from a Saratoga Springs, New York date. It was widely speculated that the song is about Houston’s relationship with then NFL star Randall Cunningham.
