There is a new song from Houston, also known as The Voice, released this week—a gospel track, “He Can Use Me.” The new song comes ahead of the gospel album from the legendary singer, I Go to the Rock: The Gospel Music of Whitney Houston, set for release on March 24.
The song was originally recorded in 1981 by Houston when she was 17 years old. It also marks the second release from her upcoming posthumous gospel album. “Testimony” was previously released earlier this month.
