I Wanna Dance with Somebody soundtrack: All the songs in the Whitney Houston biopic
Naomi Ackie stars as the iconic singer in the new film.
During her legendary performing career, Whitney Houston had no shortage of hits, selling over 200 million records worldwide and becoming the only artist to have seven consecutive number-one singles in the US.
Therefore, when it came to selecting which songs to use for the new biopic I Wanna Dance with Somebody, the producers were rather spoilt for choice, and in the end, 22 numbers made it into the film – from the title track to her iconic rendition of I Will Always Love You.
All the songs were remixed in order to sound as good as possible for the big screen, with music editor John Warhurst explaining: “Those recordings were originally mixed to sound great in your car, or a home stereo. But a movie theater – especially a Dolby Atmos movie theater – has speakers throughout.”
