Yet those triumphs were accompanied  by criticism that she had diluted her racial identity to appeal to white  audiences. With her third album, 1990's \u003ci\u003eI'm Your Baby Tonight\u003c\/i\u003e, she confronted those charges by more fully embracing a  Black musical lineage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt a    moment when Houston's cultural presence is enjoying a resurgence and critics    are reexamining U.S. media's treatment of women celebrities, this book    positions \u003ci\u003eI'm Your Baby Tonight\u003c\/i\u003e as a vital act of self-assertion. The album revealed the    racialized pressures often placed on Black crossover artists--and demonstrated how    Houston, the superstar beloved as “The Voice,” charted her own path while    redefining the terms of pop success.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBrandon Tensley\u003c\/b\u003e  is an award-winning journalist in the Washington, D.C., area, where he covers  culture and politics.
