Calum Scott Duets With Whitney on "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" Cover

A new version of Whitney Houston's 1987 breakthrough hit, "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)," has been crafted as a virtual duet by singer-songwriter Calum Scott and the late, great Houston. It will appear on his album Avenoir, out on Capitol Oct. 10.

The song came together after Scott began including the cover in his live sets. Primary Wave Music's Justin Shukat ran the idea by Pat Houston, Whitney's sister-in-law and executor of her estate, who granted her blessing.

Said Pat Houston, "Calum is multitalented. I love his rendition of the song. Whitney always believed in helping others, extending a hand to help others fulfill their dreams.”
