Cissy Houston releases new album of gospel tunes Walk on By Faith

Cissy Houston has released a new album of gospel tunes, her first new music since Whitney Houston’s death and in more than a decade.

Cissy Houston’s Walk on By Faith was released by Harlem Records on iTunes this week and includes songs such as Living Shall Not Be In Vain.

Harlem Records rep Bill Coyle said Wednesday Cissy Houston’s last album was in 1997. He says she started working on the album last year and musically arranged all four tracks.

Cissy Houston has kept a low profile since her daughter Whitney died in February, giving just one interview.

Whitney Houston was 48 when she drowned in a Beverly Hills hotel bathtub on the eve of the Grammy Awards. An autopsy showed cocaine played a role in her death.
