Fair observation, and I suppose it's a possibility. I'd say it's remote though, given the amount of material she gets from established songwriters / proven hitmakers, I worry that even if she did try something for this album, it may not make the 12-song cut. She and/ or Sony might get cold feet.
I think if we're to see her own songs, it's far more likely to be on a French album first.

She’s actually said that she writes better in English, than French. So I don’t see the latter being what happens.

True... but she mentioned a few times she prefers to write in English, because it’s (comes to her) easier..

I really hope we’ll see this someday... René couldn’t convince her in the past, hopefully she’ll get the confidence to do it in the (near) future ♥️

Really?
I certainly don't recall that, but in any case, I believe it about as much as I believe "I don't have a phone".

Lol... well we have 2 examples: “I’m Gonna Love You Forever” (which was translated to “Tout Pres Du Bonheur”) and “Between Two Worlds” (Entre Deux Mondes”)..

Are you saying the songs she wrote for Marc were originally in English?

Well it makes sense.

Shes said herself she didnt do well in school (French) and that she wasnt very smart, And yet she excelled when she went back to learn English because of her determination, so i assume that she probably does feel more confident writing in English

Maybe from a grammar & spelling perspective - English is certainly an easier language. So yeah, that I get, given she left school early and was never much good at it.

But there's no way she expresses herself with more eloquence in English than in French! And you can hear it in her performances, too - those in French are far more nuanced and show a much deeper innate connection to the lyrics than in English - understandably so.

And also the song “Come To Me” for Kevin Bazinet.

See thats speaking though. Many people who may not be so good grammatically and in terms of spelling etc are far better at speaking, many people are better at speaking than writing so that adds up completely. Not to mention that French is still at the end of the day her first language, so she naturally will understand and be able to emote it better.

However In English from what shes told us, she has a better grasp grammatically and in terms of what she learned in comparison to french

she said she was not good in school , not that she wasn't smart....

[dj_a_rock]

She already tried to be modern, cool and hip thrice( One Heart era, Taking Chances era and LMBTL era ) but it did not work for her. I remember most of people here praised the song LMBTL the first time we heard it and said prior to release that "If she can't get a "Hit" from this song, she can no longer get any."

Except from the hardcore fans like us, general and casual fans do not want to see her singing songs like Beyonce, J.Lo or Rihanna. People love her for her power ballad. We also complaint that she is not innovating her music and that she is "stuck" in her comfort zone but that's what the public expect from her.

Funny that P!nk also has a song called Courage on her new album coming out soon...

Oh you didn't know? Celine has moved onto covering songs on other singers upcoming albums too. Lol. Just kidding...i hope.

I saw L'Oreal's new ad a few moments ago and thought... If we combine a capture (or photoshoot) of the new ad and the release of the new album in November... Do you think the front cover could look like this?

They're custom made for the occasion, but I guess these would be the original lyrics of TPDB:

and then stretch the pic a bit more ( make it wider)
Yes something like this. in fact now i have seen this clip - Celine do not wear your hair in a bun anymore please. She should have this look for the carpool karaoke and on stage. It is beautiful, lush, chique and the color looks perfect. Make a whole photoshoot with this makeup and hair. It is perfect!

Yes the song actually titled 'I'm Gonna Love You Foreve" which Celine wrote as wedding gift for Rene's daughter in 2001. I think it was a very beautiful song. Celine was pregnant when she wrote this song.

Here's the lyric:

When I met you you were just a little girl, my baby
More than just a stranger in my eyes
But then, oh so quickly you grew up before me
Girl, how you became part of my life
And now as I carry life deep within me
So uncertain of a life can do
I need and pray to God for just one wish
That our child be just like you

And I,  I'm gonna love you forever
Always together
You'll never be far away from my heart


Here's the video when Celine sang that song:

This is accurate.

I just had a Céline dream for the first time in years!

In my dream Stephan Moccio was holding a big party with many celebrities (Céline included) at my cousin's house. Though I was not invited, my dad was a good friend of Stephan and somehow he managed to give me a cassette with Celine's upcoming English single.

Bring on the new album

[kathy4]

can't wait for the cd to come out

Very cute! But if it was a cassette, it was probably a single from 1992.

Yes, familiar with this, of course. But was asking about Entre deux mondes and Tout pres de bonheur lyrics.

If Celine wrote them in English, who translated them and/ or wrote the French versions?

Marc Dupré (and Nelson Minville) translated IGLYF into TPDB and Entre Deux Mondes was more or less translated by Frédérick Baron (he and Céline were co-writers on the song). There's more on EDM here.

Since the new single of Madonna is out this Wednesday, do you think it could convince Sony to release the new single of our Céline sooner ?

Mmm, I don't think so...
My expectation is that the new single will be out a few days before Hyde Park concert or -in another case- in May (but I believe in the first chance really).
Another mont, another week, what's the matter? This year we have a new album!! Just wait...

[fred]

I think the font for Courage seems a bit B. Makes me think of the font called papyrus or something. That's why I got the impression that the Read Heads info on the tour was fake: it all looked as if it was made in mspaint. Now it's her official promotion graphics of the tour 😂

- I wish Sony would give up the November release dates for her. I loved ANDHC and OH being released in the spring so I could listen to new Celine music during the summer.

I agree!!! I have fond memories of those albums’ releases, as I was just learning to drive then. Nothing better than to pop on ANDHC and go for a spin, with the wind in my hair and the sun on my face. 😎 The release date fit the material: fresh, airy, new growth, youthful beats...
