Producer Waajeed teamed up with Cee-Lo Green around 2007 to help craft a joint for the then beginnings of what would become Whitney Houston's last LP "I Look To You." Entitled "All Alone Now," Waajeed opened up about crafting the song for the now late Whitney Houston. As we all continue to mourn the loss of The Voice, it's important to still remember her legacy and the way she touched all of our hearts.
"It was written and demo’ed for the late, great Whitney Houston circa 2007. The A&R’s at RCA were calling any and everybody to find a sound for (what would become) her 2009 release, I Look To You. I worked on seven or eight different versions and finally deciding on this one – with additional parts done by Simon Katz from Jamiroquai.As far as the lyrics go — Cee-Lo nailed it! At the time, Whitney was still going though her very public separation with Bobby Brown – so ‘Lo wrote the words for Whitney as if she was speaking directly to him.I wish I would’ve been able to hear her wonderful voice singing these words, but for now – Cee-Lo will do." – Waajeed
