As promised by the Whitney Houston estate, 2023 will be filled with celebrations and headline-grabbing events to commemorate what would’ve been the diva’s 60th year of life.

In addition to perfume and cosmetics lines, television ventures, and a biographical Broadway play in the works (as we reported here), the Pop icon’s dedicated fans – affectionately called #Nippians – can expect to hear unvaulted tunes spread across multiple “new” albums.

The first in that stead comes courtesy of ‘I Go to the Rock: The Gospel Music of Whitney Houston.’

“Her love for gospel music permeates through every song with love, compassion and conviction. To love Whitney is to love what she represents to all that love the gospel. I salute this project knowing that Whitney always stood on a solid rock for her love of gospel music,” said Pat Houston, the executor Whitney’s estate, in an official statement.

A 12-track collection lined with fan favorites like ‘Jesus Loves Me’ (from 1992’s ‘The Bodyguard’ soundtrack) as well as ‘I Go to the Rock,’ ‘I Love the Lord,’ and ‘Joy to the World’ (from 1996’s ‘Preacher’s Wife’ soundtrack), ‘Rock’ also includes six unreleased song including a live ‘VH1 Honors’ version of Simon & Garfunkel‘s classic ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ (with CeCe Winans), ‘I Found a Wonderful Way,’ ‘He Can Use Me,’ and more.
