The Official Soundtrack to Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody feature star-studded remixes and originals

The 35-song compilation also contains rare, reimagined versions of ‘Don’t Cry For Me”

Ahead of the January 8 theatrical release of TriStar Pictures’ Whitney Houston biopic, Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody, RCA Records and Sony Music Entertainment has dropped the official 35-song soundtrack, serving as a musical memoir of the cinematic voyage. Listen here.

“This totally unique soundtrack album brings many of Whitney’s classics into 2023 and beyond. Contemporary, current and often scorching, if you love Whitney’s music, you must own this album,” says Clive Davis.

Featuring music spanning two decades of Houston’s legendary career, I Wanna Dance With Somebody (The Movie: Whitney New, Classic and Reimagined) includes nearly two hours of remixed and original versions of Whitney Houston songs, with special guest features by BeBe Winans, Clean Bandit, Kygo, Lucky Daye, SG Lewis, Samaria, Jax Jones, Leikeli47, P2J, Oxlade, Pheelz, and more.

“We are thrilled to be releasing the amazing 35-song soundtrack to the Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody film with RCA Records,” says Pat Houston, President of The Estate of Whitney E. Houston. “We think the fans will be excited to hear some incredible music they know and love, as well as some new never-before-released tracks, including ‘Far Enough’ and the incredible ‘Don't Cry For Me,’ which ends the film.”

Just recently, RCA announced the original soundtrack would include three rare versions of “Don’t Cry For Me” – a never-before-released a cappella, a full-length film version by Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, and a reimagined recording by record producer Sam Feldt. Houston’s iconic performance of the song was made famous after a striking rendition at the 1994 Aids Project Los Angeles (APLA) benefit concert – a moment that would stun the audience and go down in history as one of the most memorable performances of Whitney Houston’s illustrious career.

“I am extremely honored and proud to have been asked to reimagine a track made by all-time legend Whitney Houston,” says Sam Feldt. “Being a key part of this unique movie’s soundtrack by turning this classic into a 2023 ready dance-pop banger is an absolute pleasure, and I can’t wait for the fans to hear it.”

"I’m beyond excited for the fans and the next generation of fans to experience the greatness of Whitney and what her voice meant and still means to all of us,” says Rodney Jerkins.

One of the most iconic and influential singers in music history, Houston sold over 200 million albums throughout her legendary career, to become one of the best-selling artists of the 20th century. Her self-titled debut album, Whitney Houston was one of the most acclaimed albums in modern recording history, spending 14 weeks at #1 on Billboard Top 200 and selling more than twenty-five million copies worldwide. The streak continued when Houston became the first female artist to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 with her sophomore album, Whitney.

Together, the two albums spurred seven #1 singles with a catalog of hits that include, “Saving All My Love for You,” “How Will I Know,” “Greatest Love of All,” “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me),” “Didn’t We Almost Have It All,” “So Emotional,” and “Where Do Broken Hearts Go.” A run that would lead Houston to become the only Black artist to earn three RIAA Diamond-certified albums.

Top 5 tips to keep your body and mind energetic while on-the-go

Tweet

Health trends come and go, but the emphasis on staying healthy while on-the-go remains, especially with our modern lifestyles. With the rise of social media, countless fitness fads and diets have cropped up in online articles, viral posts and trending videos. And with the alarming health concerns that arose due to the pandemic, the attitude towards taking care of one’s health has become more proactive – incorporating fun activities to health and wellness routines without compromising current lifestyles.

Without exerting too much effort, you can still be healthy and ready to pursue your goals and aspirations in life, especially with the help of food supplements made from natural substances that can boost your energy and immunity while you’re on-the-go. Achieving your personal and wellness goals can be simplified with these five recommendations.

Eat right for you

Eating nutritious food and having balanced serving sizes might be a challenge with food delivery apps always available at our beck and call and new restaurants popping out left and right. There’s no denying that it can be tempting to order food or eat out because of all the New Year promos and discounts. As part of your New Year’s resolution, you can manage your diet and eat healthy, while also not compromising your happiness and appetite.

Do not restrict yourself from eating, but be better at choosing food with the proper amount of calories and nutrients. Meal planning and recipe apps can help support your goal of eating right by planning your meals ahead and keeping track of your calories and diet. APL GO lozenges can also help support your digestion with its Multi-Spectrum (MLS) drops that help maintain your healthy gut microbiome and digestive processes. With proper exercise and a healthy diet, this may also support your already normal gastrointestinal wellbeing and feeling of vitality and renewal - allowing you to have that added support on your journey to eating healthy.

Exercise can be fun

Exercising doesn’t require great feats of strength, speed or agility. There are various alternatives to intense workouts that emerged since staying at home became the norm like sit-down chair exercises, online aerobics sessions, and the like. Doing activities you enjoy like walking your beloved pets or a friendly game of badminton with friends can be considered workouts too, as long as you get your body up and moving. As long as you manage to get 150 hours of moderate physical activity in a week, then you’ll be able to stay in shape.

And with all the activities you have planned, your body needs support in order to keep up. APL GO’s Get Strength (GTS) supports the body’s vitality and endurance while Grow (GRW) drops maintain the body’s natural alert and active immune responses. Perfect to keep you up on your feet all day long.

Get enough sleep

Having enough sleep can improve a person’s health substantially, helping our bodies and minds function properly for the day to come. With all of the activities we try to fit in a day, sleeping is a must to regain the strength we lost and replenish our energy. Do yourself a favor and try to have a good night's sleep whenever you can.

To be able to sleep well, you also have to let your mind and body relax. APL GO’s Relax (RLX) can help take the load off and give you the rest you deserve. RLX drops support your body’s ability to achieve relaxation and mental calmness, perfect for aiding in your sleep.

Exercise your brain

As they say, the mind is the most powerful tool in a person’s body because it has the power to affect the physical status and emotional well-being of an individual. Which is why, aside from exercising your body, you also need to exercise your brain. Puzzles and games can help keep your mind sharp as you shift to problem-solving mode, while reading books, listening to podcasts, or even jamming along on your favorite songs can help your brain make new connections between topics and themes that you care about.

APL GO’s Brainy (BRN) can help support your cognitive abilities, active concentration and focus. BRN drops have essential nutrients that support your established cognitive clarity for learning, thinking, managing mental stress, and alertness.

Spend time with your loved ones

Time flies, so spend it with the people you love the most, doing things that you enjoy - eating your favorite food, retelling memorable stories, hanging out and having fun.

To state the obvious, all these activities require an active and healthy body. Support your body’s daily activities by taking APL GO’s Power (PWR) drops, which comes in lemon flavor for men and apricot flavor for women. This helps maintain vitality for active lifestyles while maintaining your mood balance during times of occasional stress.

APL GO’s delicious candy-like supplements can help support you as you live your life on-the-go, especially as we enter a new year. Enjoy the important moments in life without uncertainties about your wellbeing. With proper diet and exercise and additional support from APL GO, you can manage your lifestyle and achieve your health and wellness goals on-the-go.

Secure your child’s future with the gift of education through AXA MyLifeChoice

Tweet

When it comes to securing the future of your children, one of the best gifts you can give them is a good education. This is especially true for Filipino parents who believe that being able to send their children to top schools in the country or abroad is a legacy that they can leave to help them achieve their full potential in life

But there’s no denying that costs for education continue to rise every year, especially with inflation at an all-time high. If you are wondering how much you need to save to send your child to their dream school, here are a few of the things you’ll need to consider:

Tuition fees – while some colleges offer free tuition under the Commission on Higher Education’s (CHED) Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act, many of the country’s top universities are private institutions whose tuition fees can cost PHP 100,000 or more, according to a recent report. You also need to account for inflation. According to CHED for AY 2021 - 2022, the national average rate of increase in tuition per unit is 4.74 percent, while the national average rate for other school fees is 10.61 percent per semester. For example, if a parent wants their six-year-old to study in a private university 10 years from now and their preferred university’s tuition is currently at PHP 110,000, it would then be around PHP 285,311 by the time they enroll. When compounded by the time the child reaches their 4th year in college, this would amount to PHP 379,749 per year.

Residence and Transportation – If you are sending your child to a college abroad or far from where you live, you’ll need to consider their daily transportation allowance or even renting a dorm room or condo unit near where they’ll be studying. Dorm rent for sharing with three to four other housemates can go as high as P6,500 around the university belt area.

Gadgets – In today’s digital age, students consider laptops and mobile phones as must-haves for learning. While it’s possible to get a good budget mobile phone for around PHP 10,000, laptops for online classes and other schoolwork can range from PHP 20,000 to 30,000. You’ll also need to allocate budget for your child’s Wi-Fi or data connection.

Books and School Supplies – Finally, allot around PHP 20,000 to 25,000 annually for books and supplies such as notebooks, writing materials, and special equipment that your child will need every semester, as these have also been affected by the rising prices. Take into account as well that not every field has the same amount of expenses. For example, if you’re raising a future doctor, they will take longer to finish their pre-medical course and their medical school education, while science courses may have additional laboratory expenses.

Putting all these costs together, you will easily end up with a budget of over six figures in a year – which is not a sum that can be saved quickly or easily for most. Furthermore, there are considerations that need to be factored in such as unplanned emergencies or in case you pass on. That’s why having a financial solution that protects you from life’s uncertainties is needed so you can focus on working your way to your goals such as securing your child a bright future.

One of the ways to secure your child’s education is to get a comprehensive insurance plan like MyLifeChoice for Education, AXA Philippines’ most flexible insurance and investment plan designed to ensure your child’s education until college no matter what happens. MyLifeChoice empowers customers by enabling them to customize their own plan according to their unique needs and priorities, budget, desired payment term, and protection coverage.

MyLifeChoice for Education ensures your child’s education through Bright Rider Plus, which provides guaranteed payouts in case of the insured’s untimely demise. These payouts will start immediately upon the passing of the insured and can help cover your child's education expenses until graduation. You can also personalize your protection coverage from 7x up to 25x of your basic annual premium.

MyLifeChoice also includes waiver of premium and accident coverage benefits, which means that future payments are waived in case of disablement and cash benefits will be received for injuries due to accidents, respectively. Your plan can also be further enhanced with supplementary benefits to further strengthen your protection coverage depending on your current financial needs.

Available in a 7-year payment term, MyLifeChoice for Education enables you to select from a range of professionally managed funds that are invested locally and globally to create a personalized portfolio that suits your investment profile. Your potential investment earnings can be added on top of your child’s education fund, which he or she can use for his or her future college expenses. To further support you in securing your child’s education, this policy includes a start-up bonus equivalent to 70% of your first-year basic annual premium in an AXA fund of your choice.

“Education is something you can leave behind for your child that they can keep with them forever, but inflation coupled with rising prices of goods requires careful planning from parents now more than ever. Protecting your child’s education fund is possible with the right partner, such as AXA Philippines. With the help of MyLifeChoice for Education, seeing your child march onstage with their diploma need not be a pipe dream,” said Nandy Villar, AXA Philippines Chief Customer Officer.
