"A New Day Has Come" album - Official Topic

[rfkavanagh]

Ermmmm well a demo is how the producer wants to song to sound. So what should Céline do? Sing it completely different?

 

A more self-possessed artist would certainly find ways to make it their own rather than adhering slavishly to what a producer dictates. Unfortunately, Céline has never really shown herself to be that kind of artist - even David Foster has often talked about how Céline is phenomenal and will give you exactly what you want in take after take after take, but someone like a Whitney would never give you the same thing twice and was only ever going to do her own thing (this is not a Céline vs. Whitney thing - just an example to illustrate the point).

 

Can't argue with the results (most of the time!) - at the end of the day it's all about her voice, and some of my favorite Céline tracks were completely producer-driven - but she does tend to come across as a bit of a puppet in the studio. Plus she has that tendency not only to replicate vocal arrangements but literally to imitate the demo vocalist, right down to their voice timbre.

Interesting fact that I never knew of. So apparently I Surrender was intended for the Polish singer Edyta Gorniak, who was building an international career at that time, but they took it from her and gave the song to Celine and she missed out. However, she recorded a Polish version of the song afterwards. The original demo was recorded by Edyta and she says that Celine even imitated the way she sang on the demo.

 

 

 

 

I always thought this song was originaly sung (or demo whatever) by Mary Griffin... She's even credited as background singer in the Celine's album version...

 

 

Mary's version was released in 2002 too...

That's simply how Celine works and relates to professionals around her -- and a lot of that early on was informed by the language barrier. Celine has been shown to be creative and she can really riff and be free when she wants to or is told to.

 

Like how Celine, on the spot, did that jazzy "Let's Talk About Love" improv while recording the LTAL album.

[ryba]

I think Edyta said that on purpose (she is known to be quite pretentious and full of herself a little) so she could brag that a superstar like Celine adapted her style. Who knows if this is entirely true. She also said that it’s a very long story that eventually ends in a full circle moment and that she will describe it in her upcoming book. Maybe she just came with that story now to make people interested and go and buy her book.

 

In my opinion, many artists were interested in I Surrender at the time, and ultimately the song was given to Celine for the ANDHC album.

We all wish that Celine would be more artistic in her English work and we know that she loves to cover songs. But on the other hand, some of her biggest hits are covers:TPOL,ABM, IACBTMN. And she made them her own songs.

[ryba]

The question is what does artistic mean to you. I think she took a different approach on the Courage album, on Superwoman, even on LMBTL with her bedroom voice and maybe for her it was very artistic to sing and pronounce words in a truly awful way as she considered it edgy and authentic. But for me as a fan of Celines cristal clear voice and beautiful songs this was quite weak and disappointing. I think she never sounded better than on ANDHC. Her voice is cristal clear, the production is spot on and very coherent throughout the whole album. There is not a single song where her voice sounds weird. Edited June 27, 2022 at 07:11 PM by ryba

Agreed. I don’t care how “artistic” or not she is or what the means of recording and producing her songs are as long as I’m pleased with the final result. She can be a puppet or she can be herself, as long as I like the song she ends up putting out then I’m happy.

What if Celine did a cover album? Which artist would it be?

For Celine to make a big music comeback with a new album, it would probably need to be something like a duets album or a jazz / big band album or a Christmas album.

 

Something that would get the Andrea Bocelli fans & the Josh Groban fans & the Barbra Streisand fans & the Michael Buble fans to purchase her album. That’s the huge advantage Celine has over someone like Mariah. She appeals to & has clout with those sorts of audiences because she has elegance.

 

She could also do another song for a film. Now that’s she’s older, I’d love to see her do a sexy James Bond song like Shirley Bassey.

 

I’m hopeful Text For You has a new song accompanied by a new music video.

Still amazed that Céline released an album. I think for the first time. First album to have all original songs.

[Davey84]

I would actually love a 'Céline sings the French songbook" album with covers of Brel, Piaf, Gainsbourg, Barbara, Aznavour etc. Or only just a Piaf cover album!

Yes! And if she could do a mini concert hall tour to support it. I’ve always wished I could see her at a venue like Lincoln Center or Carnegie Hall or Royal Albert Hall.

YES! And back to L'Olympia

"Right In Front Of You" was such as missed and wasted opportunity. The song should have been part of "A New Day...," as well as made into a single. If not in the U.S., then somewhere! The official remixes which could have been made for this song would have been amazing!

 

 

 

Couldn't agree more.

I’m curious what an album of Elton John covers would sound like. There are songs of his that I think would sound amazing, perhaps even better than the original, sung by a woman.

That’s actually a great idea. She’s done so much in her French discography yet this is perhaps the one big thing she surprisingly hasn’t yet done. Another idea that I think would sound cool is her doing duets with young trending Francophone singers. I remember how excited I was and how much I loved the songs written by Zaho for the EUS album. I particularly loved how modern the sound was. I would really like to see more of that.

Apparently on Apple Music this album is now available in Dolby Atmos.

[marc-02]

All the music videos from the A New Day Has Come album have new thumbnails on YouTube that look pretty great! Are the remastered versions coming our way soon??

 

Speaking of ANDHC MV, i didnt know it has an alternate version. Where they toned down the "sexier" parts of the video i.e. removed the crotch, breast, undies parts

Most likely for the Middle Eastern market where Muslimism is the core religion.
