How do you know Whitney Houston’s about to make a comeback? Because there’s a countdown on her website that tells us so.

Although it’s still hard to get visions of Whitney Houston saying “Kiss My Ass” out of our heads (Thank you, Joel McHale), the singer has been working hard to repair her image since her 2007 divorce from Bobby Brown. She even returned to the television spotlight during February’s Grammys.

On September 1, Houston will officially resume her music career with the debut of her long-awaited project. The as-yet-untitled CD will mark her first album of originals since 2002. (Just Whitney went on to sell 737,000 copies.)

Akon and will.i.am are a few of the names reportedly linked to the CD.
