Background

I'm Your Baby Tonight is the third studio album by American singer Whitney Houston. It was released on November 6, 1990, by Arista Records. Released during a time black music critics accused Houston of neglecting her R&B and soul music roots following the release of her pop-heavy eponymous second album, Whitney, three years before, the album signaled a change in Houston's musical direction as she attained creative control for the first time in her career and received an executive producer credit. The record incorporated the then-current popular sound of new jack swing music along with elements of hip-hop, funk and dance, which helped to shift Houston's focus from love ballads and occasional dance songs to creating a "firmer dance record". The album was further credited later as a "turning point" in Houston's career and which helped to cement her legacy in popular music.
