Dion set to launch new French album celebrating women on Monday

Sun May 20, 10:50 PM ET

 

LAS VEGAS (CP) - Celine Dion will launch a new French album titled "D'elles" on Monday in Las Vegas, where the Quebecer has performed a series of shows since March 25, 2003.

 

D'elles is a concept album to follow up 1995's "D'eux," her last French-language CD of original titles. It sold seven million copies worldwide.

 

With the huge success of D'eux, producer Jean-Jacques Goldman was brought back as musical supervisor for D'elles.

 

Next year, Dion will embark on a world tour for the first time since 1998. The tour will begin in Europe, with several dates already announced for Belgium, France and Switzerland.

 

Le Journal de Montreal reported the 39-year-old singer will perform a long-awaited show in Montreal in August 2008. Her last performance on Quebec soil was December 1999 in Montreal.

 

The new 13-track album pays tribute to women, with the lyrics of each song written by female authors from Quebec and France.

 

The CD will be available on Tuesday in stores across Canada.

 

Dion has sold more than 175 million albums across the globe, making her the number-one selling female artist of all time. She has 22 albums to her credit, including compilations.

 

Her only break from performing came in 2000 when she was pregnant with son Rene-Charles. Dion's child is one of the reasons for her five-year stay in Las Vegas.

 

In December, she will complete a string of about 1,000 performances of the show "A New Day" at Caesar's Palace.

 

But the Quebecer has remained visible to her fans. Last month, she performed a virtual duo with Elvis Presley on the popular television show "Amercan Idol."

Cool Thanks for the info. I`m sure she`ll look gorgeous!

[Love,]

Since Canada's newswire released that Celine will be "releasing 'D'elles' in Vegas," maybe the album may be available at the Celine Dion Boutique?

 

Maybe Erin would be able to answer this question for us.

 

Celine: Okay, folks, right after you finish interrogating me about my French album, go to my Boutique and get yourself a copy! Cheese Whiz! :giggle:

Celine Dion plans world tour

First tour in nine years to include concerts in Montreal, Toronto

Canadian Press

LAS VEGAS — Canadian fans of singer Celine Dion can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

 

The Quebec-born diva confirmed Monday that she will tour for the first time in nine years to promote her new album, D'elles, and will stop in Montreal and Toronto.

 

While details of the shows, including dates, still have to be worked out, Dion told The Canadian Press she expects to be back in Montreal by August, 2008.

 

“It's certain that I'll do shows in Montreal,” she said during an interview at an exclusive golf club in Lake Las Vegas. “You know, I've travelled a lot, I've done many shows, but I haven't seen the world much. I'm going to take advantage of this world tour and my son gives a good opportunity.”

The Globe and Mail

 

Her tour will include concerts in Europe, Asia and Africa.

 

Dion, who also didn't rule out additional concerts in other Canadian cities as well, leaked the news about the Canadian content of her tour during the launch of D'elles.

 

With 13 tracks penned by female writers from Quebec and France, the album is being billed as a tribute to women.

 

It is also her first album of new French-language material since the 2003 release of 1 fille & 4 types.

 

Indeed the much-awaited album comes as the 39-year-old singer embarks on a new phase in her career. This December, Dion will wrap up a successful five-year run at the Las Vegas hotel Caesar's Palace.

 

“You know, having done a project for five years, it's like wearing the same bathrobe for five years,” Dion said. “It was a security zone for me to wear this same bathrobe because it was a zone where I felt good.”

 

Dion has sold more than 175 million albums across the world, making her the No. 1-selling female artist of all time. She has 22 albums to her credit, including compilations.

 

Her only break from performing came in 2000 when she was pregnant with son Rene-Charles.

 

Along with D'elles, which hits stores in Canada on Tuesday, Dion already has an English album in the works, which she expects to be released before Christmas.

 

“I have four recorded,” she said. “But this one won't be a concept album.”

 

Her new French album is a follow up to her 1995 release D'eux, which sold around seven million copies worldwide.

 

With the huge success of D'eux, producer Jean-Jacques Goldman was brought back as musical supervisor for D'elles. Among the songwriters on the album is Nathalie Nechtschein, a young French woman with Down syndrome.

 

“I can't say which song I like best, but I find it extraordinary to sing Nathalie Nechtschein,” Dion said.

 

And if recording albums and embarking on a major world tour weren't enough for the working mother, Dion said she and her husband would like to have another child.

 

“That's the best thing still to happen to me,” Dion said. “I've known 25 years of the artistic life, I still have to blossom as a woman.”

 

 

How dare they dismiss "S'il suffisait d'aimer!"
