With more than 200 million albums
sold worldwide, superstar, mom and wife Celine Dion’s brand new English album
Loved Me Back To Life has reportedly already sold more than 100 000 copies – only
in Canada folks. Now if that isn’t impressive, I don’t know what is. Although
fans had to wait six years for a new English album, the diva wasn’t sitting
with folded hands. The star’s second contract engagement at The Colosseum at
Ceasar’s Palace titled Celine, is currently in its second year, she was on the
road with her year and a half world tour Taking Chances and gave birth to
twins. After an incredibly successful career of more than 30 years Celine
sounds different – in a very good way of course. Her vocals are more relaxed,
edgier than ever and she mentioned in numerous interviews after the album’s
release she has nothing to prove anymore. She adores her job and fans, but
priority is being a mom and wife. The album’s first five tracks, Loved Me Back
to Life (http://goo.gl/7ymtkM), Somebody Loves Somebody (http://goo.gl/jxcdIT), Incredible (duet with Ne-Yo, yes Ne-Yo, http://goo.gl/IGF62x), Water and a Flame and Breakaway
will undoubtedly result in big singles and sales. Stevie Wonder joins Celine for
the albums ninth track, Overjoyed. Cheesy, but I will have my first dance as a
married man to this stunning song come hell or high water. And do listen to
Unfinished Songs written by Diane Warren written for the movie Song for Marion.
Deeply intimate, Celine takes us back to her “difficult” school years (http://goo.gl/UExvJf) with At Seventeen (originally by
Janis Ian in 1975). At 45 Celine is a well-oiled superstar, relaxed in her own
skin and her exceptional voice is testament of grateful maturity and years of
experience in the studio and on stage. It’s clear that Celine now approach her
music a lot differently, referring to her thank you letter in the album’s
booklet: “Thank you . . . Is what I say in the morning when I wake up and think
about René and my beloved sons, René-Charles, Nelson, and Eddy, and my mother,
who is always with me and always so inspiring, and my brothers and sisters and
those I love, who make my life more beautiful, far from the lights, and the
illusions and all the artificial things that are out there.” (By Arnold Ras)
