Sparkle: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack doesn’t come out until July 31, but RCA Records is streaming the soundtrack—in its entirety!—on SoundCloud.
We’ve been dying to hear the late Whitney Houston and up-and-comer Jordin Sparks, but the album also sees CeeLo, The Game actress Tika Sumpter and others tackling songs by Curtis Mayfield and R. Kelly.
A remake of the 1976 classic, Sparkle features Sparks as one of three sisters thrust into the spotlight when they become an superstar girl group in the 1950s. Houston plays the girls’ single mom, Emma, who tries to protect her children from the perils of fame.
Sparkle lights up theaters nationwide on August 17.

Whitney sounds beautiful on that gospel track. The other song is fun! Sounds a bit like her unfairly ignored last single “Million Dollar Bill”. Miss you Whitney, rest in peace.
Can’t wait to see Sparkle!
