Soul singer Faith Evans is back on top of the charts, thanks in large part to labelmate Whitney Houston, as Evans appears alongside Mrs. Bobby Brown and vocalist Kelly Price on Houston's current top five hit, "Heartbreak Hotel."

Evans tells MTV News that she first met Houston at a party a few years back, and confesses that working with the pop diva and recording powerhouse was actually a fairly low-key affair.

"When we're together," Evans said, "we're just chilling. We don't normally talk about the business too much. When we were in the studio, it was just work, and we just sang. We all respect each other in that sense. She knows I can sing. I know she can sing. Kelly Price? Everybody knows she can sing. So we were just singing." [28.8 RealVideo]

Evans is currently pushing her own new single, "All Night Long," from her most recent album, "Keep the Faith " -- and plans to head out on the road this spring with Dru Hill.
