Whitney Houston is about to drop one of the most highly anticipated albums of the decade -- and ET has a first look at the cover right here!

Wearing an elegant one-shoulder sliver and white striped dress, the singer looks refreshed and beautiful as she stands solo on the cover of her first album of original material since 2002.

Earlier this year, Clive Davis told reporters to expect classic Whitney all the way. "We're not going to compromise who she is to fit into today's hip-hop radio market," he said. "The public wants Whitney material."

Songs for the album have been produced and written by Black Eyed Peas singer will.i.am, songwriter Sean Garrett and R&B singer Akon.
