*Whitney Houston has four songs completed for her highly-anticipated, as-yet-untitled comeback album, and four more will be recorded later this month, according to her mentor, BMG Label Group chairman/CEO Clive Davis.

       "We're on track for a holiday release," he said during Billboard's Music & Money Symposium yesterday morning. "We're not going to compromise who she is to fit into today's hip-hop radio market. The public wants Whitney material."      

       So far, tracks for Houston's first studio album since 2002 have been produced or written by will.i.am, Sean Garrett and Akon, who told Billboard.com last year, "The voice is there; I don't think anyone could ever take that from her. As long as we apply that voice to hit records, she'll be right back where she left off."
