Houston 'was apprehensive' about Akon

Whitney Houston wanted to recapture the sound of her 1999 hit 'My Love Is Your Love', which she worked on with Wyclef Jean, on her new album 'I Look To You', and admits she wasn't comfortable when her label president and mentor Clive Davis suggested she teamed with the 'Lonely' hitmaker Akon.

She said: "When Clive told me I would be working with Akon, I thought, 'Hmm, interesting, um, all right.'
