Probably in September, as she likes to release her albums close to Christmas time.

 

Thanks Alex! I will add it to my list of albums to buy this year then!

I love Barbra Streisand, I have a few of her records in my room. :yes: :wub: :clap:
Posted

I was surprised to see How Do You Keep The Music Playing on the album aswell.... (did she know Céline is singing it in her new show???)

 

I was hoping Céline would record it for the next album... but I guess that won't happen now :(

 

Barbra's version is nice, but needless to say I love Céline's version more :wub2:

Barbra recorded it YEARS before Celine, originally back in 1984 for her "Emotion" album. However, she decided to scrap it because she hated the arrangement. (It's from an American movie titled "Best Friends")

 

Fast forward to 2003, Barbra totally re-recorded the track for her "The Movie Album." Originally she was going to use the same vocal from 1984, but decided that probably wasn't a good idea.

 

The track on the bonus disc of "What Matters Most" is the 2003 version.

 

So fast forward to 2011, and Celine singing this at the premiere of her show. I was floored.

I'm thrilled to have my 2 favorite singers singing this fantastic song.

OK! :) I was meaning the previously named release date: whether it was for the US only or the worldwide release date.

I never doubted her new album will be released worldwide, hehe! ;)

Now I wonder whether Japan got some special edition, they usually get some extras...

Gotta check it out!

What's QVC?

Hey, i was considering buying some songs from Barbra, i'm not a fan (yet) because her songs sound too boring, too calm/soft for me.

 

I was wondering if you guys had suggestions for me, for what to listen first. I loved her voice in Tell Him, it was high pitch and strong with nice belting notes like at 3:14 to 3:18 and 3:45 to 3:57 and .... Sometimes in the song i "confuse" her voice with Celine's

 

Thats what i like, any suggestions?

If you don't like soft music, I suggest the following:

 

- Guilty Pleasures (2005) - her most "recent" pop albums that had a hit dance single "Night of My Life".

 

- Till I Loved You (1988) - her last pop albums of the 1980s with a few killer ballads.

 

- Emotion (1984) - Barbra's intro and exit into the MTV days. A great 80's pop album!

 

- Guilty (1980) - a huge pop success with Barry Gibb of the BeeGees.

 

- ButterFly (1975) - 70's pop! An unusual album, but glorious!

 

- Barbra Joan Streisand (1972) - Carol King style pop music of the 1970s

 

- Stoney End (1971) - Barbra's INTRO into pop music. (Her first albums were standards from 1963 on)

"People pay 20-25 dollars to see you."

- Céline Dion, 1990

If you don't want jazz then I can suggest you her adult contemporary/pop albums "Till I Loved You" and "Higher Ground" (the second one features "Tell Him").

Welcome to the "Loved Me Back To Life" era!

WOW, that was fast!

Thank you Alex and Jason!

 

I'll go take a look at these!

Posted

Oh, these are all albums, sorry for being picky, but would you mind giving me your top 3 songs for each album, (having in mind the characteristics I mentionned)?

Because, i'll buy the songs individually on itunes at first...

Babs, new album What Matters Most is amazing. I love it, I have the two disc version. :whee: :wub: :clap:

I'll start with those 4 and see what happens. I usually have to let songs grow on me...

If i really like, i'll buy some more :)

Ut oh. I wouldn't have recommended anything from the "Higher Ground" album.

 

I suggest "Night of My Life", "Left In The Dark", "Stoney End",
