The Grammy Award-winning singer said that I Look To You will reflect her emotional state and chronicle events in her personal life since her last musical release in 2002.
She told MTV: "That makes it real. The changes that we go through, the transitions that we go through, the tests that we go through, being a mother, becoming a single mother. It all had its ups and its downs, but for the most part, I kept my faith and I kept my head up... I took my time."
She added: "All the triumphs and the ups and downs and stuff, it's all incorporated on the album, and hopefully not only does it inspire me, but inspires a whole lot of other people."
It was recently reported that the star previewed tracks from the upcoming LP during a listening party in New York City.
Houston is to release I Look To You on September 1.
