New English Album - "Water and a Flame" (Pre-Release Thread Part 1)

[bfhb]

At this stage with so little information on this project I personally cant see a CD release this spring, maybe Oct? Does anyone here want a rushed collection of songs, or vocal performances with limited production/promotion?

I rather Celine take her time on the full album and maybe just give us some new songs for radio using the Titanic re-release as an international springboard to centre stage again.

I also think the album will be released in September or October ..

except if it records in Vegas at the end of the month ...

Totally agree.

We are waiting for so long now that I'm expecting a masterpice. Celine's voice still at top shape. She just need time to produce a really proper album.

[takeachance]

I jusy heard on Irish Tv that Don mescall , from Limerick in Ireland is working with Celines producer writing songs for her new album...He has previously wrote songs for Ronan Keating and the Back street boys.

Just said id share

[celinemaniacaik]

we HAVE been waiting 4 5 years, have'nt we?

[bfhb]

4/5 yrs is a long time with no major release but after waiting this long and they have not finished it yet i deffo do not want a rushed job i hope they take their time and give us a well crafted album thats cared for and something that Celine is genuinely interested in and fully involved in. so if it takes till Oct so be it. just give us some new singles stick the cover songs on an ep, generate air play some buzz , the Titanic anniversary is ideal time 4 it

It not just Celine who we been waiting for, Delta Goodrem has done the same thing, we were suppose to get something last year, still have not happen

Add Shania Twain to the list as well. Her last studio album was in 2002

[Davey84]

Cher's last album is from 2001!! She's been going on about recording a new album since 2007

[Javito]

Now that Céline has openly afirmed that Whitney was an inspiration for her career, why she doesn't record a Whitney cover for her english album and forgets about those covers?

 

And most of all, why she has not included a Whitney song in her Vegas show instead of all those random covers? Now that's a question I would have asked her these days to Céline.

 

I'm sorry to bring this up again, but Céline's comments about Whitney shows how contradictory she can be with the songs she choses to perform and her "idols"

 

Come on Céline, if you really adored Whitney and she was an idol for you, that's a singer worth to pay a cover, and not Billy Joel's, Open Arms or other randoms

Who's Delta Goodrem anyway and why is she mentioned in here???

Delta is one of the biggest superstars from Australia, a huuuuuuuge Celine fan and she co-wrote "Eyes On Me".

 

I absolutely adore her and this is one of my fav songs of hers.

Maybe because Whitney died only 3 days ago!!!

And no, Celine can't sing the songs of everyone she admires... because there wouldn't be ANY Celine songs!!!

[Davey84]

I really liked Delta's first album, but kinda lost interest after that

 

BTW Javito... do you realise that some of Whitney's biggest hits are covers too? I Will Always Love You, Step By Step, I'm Every Woman

Thanks !! I didn't know this.

[Esty]

I'd really like this album to be great and Celine and her team to take their time to do their best. But I feel like an addict! I need information at least!!!!!

Unfortunately she'd pale in comparison

Yes, but isn't it strange that when somebody dies like this everybody says how great the celebrity was, that she/he was an inspiration, an icon for them.... while in life very few where by their side? And this happened with Michael Jackson too

 

It's the same example with Barbra, Céline has always said she was her favourite singer and that she used to sing all her songs in her youth... however there's no song of Barbra in the show, although she says its made of songs they have marked her life with the covers

Yep! However she released only 7 studio albums, and her last 3 are almost 100% original. She began recording some covers here and there to build a discography with original songs written for her, however Céline began singing covers to be popular, followed singing great original songs written for her to continue flooding her albums and concerts made mainly by covers

If Céline would had done Whitney songs she would be hated for it. It would be quite disrespectful to take signature songs from someone who you're "competing with" and trying to claim it.

 

Now on the other hand. As sad as it is with Whitney leaving this earth, the situation is another. Now it would be ok to sing her songs as a way to pau tribute to her career. I still doubt it would be a not so great move to take some of Whitney's hit on an album, but for the show it would be really ok. Let's wait and see if they'll go for this.

I was hoping for some news. If the album is to be out around May, we should get the lead single soon, right?

[joaofilho]

I've no patience to about it, they (Rene) are making a lot of suspense and making us crazy, so it should come to be a very good album, remember that he once gave an interview saying that he wanted celine had a number before a madonna.

I thought about that. Maybe she should replace Michael Jackson tribute with 'I Have Nothing & I Will Always Love You' - It would be much better tribute IMO.

[dj4celine]

I had already written it on twitter but some news from my contact:

 

1. Album release date is set for May

 

2. Two mid-tempo songs are selected and one is a potential single material.

 

 

Please take this with a pinch of salt as anything can change at the very last minute like we all know it.

[ferjaacu]

Thanks for the news Dhruv !!!

[Davey84]

I like the idea of Celine covering Whitney, remove Lullaby, and some of the James Bond Medley, and place in a song or two. I think "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" and "Million Dollar Bill," would be a good choice, maybe have them before the Uptempo medley.

Thank you for the info Dhruv!
