Céline said that the water represents new songs and flame, the songs from Vegas.
She's working with Stevie Wonder, Ne-Yo and Fraser T. Smith.
The english album will be released before the french one.
“She wrote me a song,” Dion says. “It was a great experience working with this man. She has a great personality, she is very generous and very emotional. The title is perfect for this album. Water for new songs and the flame for the songs I do during my show.”
At the top you can work with the best. Céline fans will hear her sing with Stevie Wonder, the American rapper Ne-Yo. Babyface is one of the major contributors to this highly anticipated album along with producer Fraser T. Smith.
Céline’s voice is at its best on these two albums in English and French. The first day, she recorded four songs. Which is phenomenal for me. She still knows how to impress me,” said Rene Angelil.
Work on these two albums was done in Florida at Echo Studio.
“The healing of my voice took three weeks. After that, I was able to dive back in,” said Céline, very excited about the new albums.
“Fans respond to my invitation by coming in large numbers to my Las Vegas show. But these albums are like gifts and I give them with great pleasure.”
Singing in French and English: The Difference
Celine Dion hasn’t had a record out in French since 2006. Now, she and Rene are excited about the collaboration of Jean-Pierre Ferland and Luc Plamondon.
“Jean-Pierre Ferland’s song, “I Do Not Need Love,” is a masterpiece,” says Rene Angelil.
“It’s very current,” says Celine. “It is the story of a man called to war who comes back and realizes that everything has changed. I am blessed.”
Both albums come out this fall in October. The English will come before the French album.
“The dates are not decided yet,” confirmed Rene Angelil. The reminaing work on the two albums will be held in late summer at the back of the family home in Florida after the shows in Las Vegas that wrap up on August 20th.
Singing in English and French, is it different for Celine Dion?
“It is like wearing jeans and an evening gown. You can not get a change of blood. French is my home, my roots. This is what I live first. French is a more domestic energy and it’s more poetic. But when I sing in English, there are other emotions. As a singer, I cannot choose; I need both.”
