Nice review, Alex. I'm glad you enjoyed the album, and I think it's really cool that Céline inspired you to learn French!

Thank you! I was just thinking that it would be good to have something like this.

[MaxRayÎles]

Les Petits Pieds De Léa Instrumental here

[Javito]

Thank you! That's one of my fav tracks on the album, the melodie is so perfect

Do you have a mp3 of it too?

What an album has put out la p'tit quebecoise...

 

I missed all the fun of commenting on the first steps of the release and the TV special, but this made me concentrate even more on the album and the snippets of 30 seconds that the official site posted. Because that's all what I listened until my copie of the CD arrived, I didn't want to spoil the fun of listening the full songs in the highest quality of a CD played in the hi-fi

 

I'm too bad for album reviews, but I will comment on some songs I liked the most.

 

I think the wait was totally worth this time, its clear that they've waited to pick the best songs they could get for this album. There's only a couple I would skip here, whereas in D'elles it was almost half the album or less what I listened. To me, both the lyrics and the musical production of the album are far superior than in D'elles (bring it on the strings ) Here we can find a Céline voice with many unusual nuances and ornaments that I think we didn't hear since the times of SSDA in 1998. I refer to "Moi quand je pleure" for example... I love it to bits. I find those hummings she does with the voice before each chorus just delicious To me, its exactly details like these what add each song that "extra" factor that makes you like it more. How amusing is that? It reminds me as if the song had been taken directly from a TV commercial of sanitary towels or tampons, don't ask me why...

 

Also, I longed for an album with less high notes and screaming (if you take my meaning), but a more soft, tranquil voice, that allowed to show other features that were well hidden since years, and here it is. Not many high vocals, but to me, that's so fine. It's an intimate album, and I don't miss those high notes at all here. Let's put them to rest for once And "Les petits pieds de Léa" is the perfect example of this. Here we have another sign of how great Celine's voice can be, with a voice that for moments looks as if it was split into two voices, one who whispers and another who sings with her normal voice at the same time. I read once that we have two sets of vocal chords, but only one is used to talk and very few can use the second set, mostly some singers to do falsettos. Well, to me its as if Céline used both of them here, once to sing and once to whisper at the same time. It's amazing And the melody... just perfect.

 

The surprise of this album to me is the couple formed by Élodie Hesme/David Gategno, who sign three songs on the album, "Qui peut vivre sans amour", "Attendre" and "Si je n'a rien de toi", each one as good as the other! When Céline thanks the authors of these songs for their "poetry", I couldn't agree more. She knows exactly what she has here, because "Attendre" is like a poem, using verbs and words through all the song to begin the next sentence. Pure poetry! And the dark "Si je n'ai rien de toi" and "Qui peut vivre sans amour", singing the painful side of love and its fatal attraction like a bad drug, its so different to any other songs we've had before. Loved the three of them a lot

 

And last but not least, the two songs delivered by Jean Pierre Ferland, here there were no surprises. I knew both the "old" and the new song would be small jewels from him. This man can sing the love making LOVE SONGS in capital letters. We already knew the powerful lyrics of "Un chance qu'on s'a" ("I'm not very tall, nor strong, but if someone dares to hurt you, it will have to be over my dead body"[/b]... WOW ), but "Je n'ai pas besoin d'amour" doesn't fall short ("I have kisses that light me more than all the stars", "you're not the love of my life, you're the life of my love"). Words can't explain better how romantic these songs are. I would like an entire album of Jean Pierre now And by the way, can't wait for that english version he wrote of this song!

 

On the other hand, one of the authors in whom I had all my hopes was Luc Plamondon, but his song "Que toi au monde" left me rather cold and indifferent. I guess I'm not very much into songs talking about war stories ( ), but besides, the theme does not fit at all with the rest of the album lyrics It's nothing compared with L'amour existe encore, like he said in a video

I complete know what you mean with the high notes. The album doesn't need those notes. It's a nice change to see how she's using her voice in this album.

 

As for the 3 songs you mentioned, I loved Qui peut vivre sans amour and Si je n'ai rien de toi right away. Attendre has taken a while, but it's growing on me and I'm learning to appreciate it more and more.

[Xpresso]

Welcome back Javito!!

Nice to read your comments again.

My favorites are Si je n'ai rien de toi, Attendre & Moi quand je pleure.

[québecflower]

The more i listen to the song with Johnny, the more i like it....i'm very surprised.

[Alex_Incognito]

Where's the love for Je n'ai pas besoin d'amour? It's pure magic!!!!

My favorite, it is pure magic as you say. Not a lyric extra, no extravant music, very simple, the most difficult thing to do. I'm very impressed with the song and very moved .

Hearing it with just the piano tonight has made me see it in a new light. It's still not my favorite, but it's slowly growing on me.

Thanx for sharing!

[Bell]

She knows exactly what she has here, because "Attendre" is like a poem, using verbs and words through all the song to begin the next sentence. Pure poetry!

I was also impressed by the way these lyrics are written.

 

And by the way, can't wait for that english version he wrote of this song!

'Je n'ai pas besoin d'amour' has an English version?

 

On the other hand, one of the authors in whom I had all my hopes was Luc Plamondon, but his song "Que toi au monde" left me rather cold and indifferent. I guess I'm not very much into songs talking about war stories ( ), but besides, the theme does not fit at all with the rest of the album lyrics It's nothing compared with L'amour existe encore, like he said in a video

Maybe it doesn't fit and I agree it's nothing like 'L'amour existe encore' but I'm just a big fan of everything Plamondon writes so I love tihs song.

[Celine Fan 77]

I just received the album!!!!! My girlfriend sent it to me as a birthday present and let me tell you that it was the BEST birthday present I've received in YEARS! I can't wait to listen to the album again tonight or tomorrow (as soon as I can) because I only listened to it once (when it was published on Celine's website about a month ago).

[Davey84]

A very good Dutch review on www.nu.nl! This guy is always very critical, and I am surprised he even reviewed SA!

Céline Dion - Sans Attendre

 

After a five-year radio silence the Canadian singer Celine Dion returns with a brand new album. She makes her comeback with a whole new Francophone album, with which she also once started her over thirty years spanding career.

 

Celine Dion released her first studio album on her thirteenth in 1981: La Voix Du Bon Dieu. After another seven French albums in the eighties and a winning Eurovision song for Switzerland in 1988, her first English album, Unison finally appeared in 1990, with global successful as a result.

 

Sans Attendre is the 24th studio album of Celine Dion, provided if we count her Christmas CD's, her fourteenth Francophone album and her first new album since Taking Chances in 2007. In that same year also her latest French language album, D'elles. But all the statistics say very little on Sans Attendre itself.

 

 

Five years later Dion still strives vocal perfection and depending on how much you love her voice , she also knows to achieve that goal. Unlike many of her albums from the past, however, Dion chooses to arranged the songs in a small way.The power ballads therefore don't take over on Sans Attendre.

 

Heartwarming

 

The production is at times even quite simple for what we have become accustomed to over the years of Dion. Thematically, however, they are deeper than ever before, with lyrics about a single mother, aging, death of a child and an estranged father. This sometimes sung in an unemotional manner and at other times heartwarming.

 

Anyone who devours Dions greatest power ballads will find only a few moments when the singer treats on her full vocal range (including her duets with Johnny Hallyday and Jean-Pierre Ferland), but in price numbers Mon Quand You Pleure, Que Toi Au Monde (En Cours), Le Miracle and Tant De Temps Dion shows herself from her best modesty side.

 

3,5 stars out of 5

[Claudette]

Looks like smash and I will have to wait another few weeks for the album. The only store that has it on their system will only receive it with their Christmas stock. Not sure if I should order it online, either way, we'll probably wait 3/4 weeks.

 

I love ''Le Miracle'' though. Haven't listened to any of the other songs yet.

[Javito]

Where's the love for Je n'ai pas besoin d'amour? It's pure magic!!!!

 

I want a full album written by Jean Pierre Ferland so bad Today's video was just amazing, her voice gets better when she is only followed by a piano.

Thank you!

Sorry, I mean "Une chance qu'on s'a". Jean Pierre gave them an english version too, hopefully she records it!

[Allysadreams]

Ok so I have been a fan of Celine Dion ofr 15 years before I carry on....

 

I have to be honest and say that I am a little disspointed with her new french album. Yes there's a couple really good songs but some of the songs are a little boring (over half of them) Her other recent french albums like D'eux, D'elles, S'il suffisait d'aimer and 1 Fille & 4 types were better in that I liked most of the songs not just a couple songs.

 

How do you all feel about it? Most fan reviews i've read have been very positive but then we can be biased but I just need to honest

[Allysadreams]

Am I the only one who is a little disspointed with this album so far? Maybe I should listen to it some more...I do want to really like it but I just immediatly loved alot of her other french albums but this one I only like maybe a few of the songs (less than half)
