Cool Down / Throw Down...

[Billboard Online Report]

ARISTA PRESIDENT/CEO Clive Davis surprised attendees at BMG Entertainment's worldwide meeting April 12 when he presented new tracks from Whitney Houston's May 16 double-CD greatest-hits collection, "Whitney The Greatest Hits." The first disc, "Cool Down," will feature Houston's classic ballads. The second disc, "Throw Down," will be "the party to end all parties," Davis tells Billboard, and contains remixes of her uptempo material, as well as uptempo remixes of ballads "I Will Always Love You" and "Greatest Love Of All."

The four new tracks on the album are "If I Told You That," a duet with George Michael, which will be the first international single; "Could I Have This Kiss Forever," a duet with Enrique Iglesias, which will be the first U.S. top 40 and top 40/rhythm-crossover single; "Fine" with Q-Tip, which will be an R&B and crossover single; and "Same Script, Different Cast," featuring Deborah Cox, which Houston touted during her appearance at the taping of  Arista's 25th anniversary celebration in Los Angeles on April 10.
