"Loved Me Back To Life" album - Official Topic

[LukeD]

Beyoncé surprised her fans with the release of a new album on itunes, including 14 new songs and 17 music videos.

We all now that "Incredible" and "Breakaway" are Celine's next singles.

Will Celine surprise us with great music videos?

I'm really wondering who's paying for her music videos, her latest projects were not very successful and she even had flop singles.

[mike_z]

We will most likely get a video. Probably Incredible. Lets be honest. Celine's videos aren't usually on high rotation on music channels.

I reckon there would have been one for LMBTL but it was shelved. if they are going to push Incredible then I would be surprised if there was no video.

 

But Ne-Yo does get played more often!

They NEED to shoot a video ASAP!!

Maybe she is.

 

I have always found her irritating, but to release a project like this as a mainstream artist in 2013 shows how much power and influence she has over her own career. To literally say f*** you to a release date and then have a video filmed for every song, and release them all at once.. O_O Beyonce does whatever the f*** she wants and on her own time.

 

It's sad to say but Celine will never ever care about her artistry as much.

[olemra17]

OMG!! just found this mix!! This mix should be send to radios right NOW!!

[amelie]

pls keep posting new (-found) remixes cause i think we haven't heard to the best version of this song yet. the one above is really good though!

[mike_z]

OMG!! just found this mix!! This mix should be send to radios right NOW!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-pNFXcMtK0

 

yeah I heard it some time ago at the remix contest.

 

Finally it was made into a dubstep song! really dramatic and epic

 

I love 2:11

 

 

BTW it's a very popular YouTube dubstep channel!

Impressed with Beyoncé's new album surprise release today! She describes this as "an audiovisual experience", because "she sees the music", "what she sings goes beyond what she listens", and so the music is accompanied by no less than 17 music videos What an incredible treat to her fans, new songs + new video collection all the same day and without prior announcement!!!

 

Who said that videos are not important for music today anymore? It's seems this 32 young multi-million artist has something to say here Wish Céline had the same passion and artistry for when she releases a new album!

I think the difference for Celine is that she doesn't see herself as an artist but, instead, as a singer. To me, it seems she just has a job like anyone else. Her job just happens to be singing. It's not about art for her but, instead, about working to support her very large extended family.

I hope Celine never follows Beyoncé's footsteps. I couldn't care less about the ways this self-absorbed, attention-whore finds to attract the public's interest. Edited December 13, 2013 at 08:37 PM by LukeD

Celine is never going to. Though, I hate to admit it, but Beyonce did a very smart move.

Beyoncé decided long ago to don't take care of charts anymore... she put herself in another level... She is beyond something as superficial as music charts.... She is the wife of one of the most important music producers of USA and one of the most recognize so she doesn't need to be success... She do what she wants and she has enough money to make 17 or 20 or 30 videos for an album... And I think that Rihanna and Jay-Z has a lot to say... it was a good movement... Beyoncé let the thrown of music charts to the young girl and provocative Rihanna (produced by Jay-Z) and she is worry to become the next black legend of the music like Aretha or Etta James...

(Oh and she is a mother too)

It's a thing of priorities... She is building her legend figure.. and like someone said before.. she is worry about the artistry... That is what I have always missed in Celine.. a perfect singer only worry in singing good the standard songs...and worry in being the "perfect" mother... She is a profesional but always have the sense that she is never more involved than the strictly necessary... because she has another priorities.. for good or for bad... For me it's sad but I still enjoy the magic of her voice.. If not I wouldn't be here.. I would be in a Beyoncé's forum... hahahaha

[shak ali]

Celine is a different league and completely different offering to the music industry. ...

[Jimnezis]

The covers of 'Sans Attendre' are: L'amour Peut Prendre Froid (English version of 'Love Me Anyway' by Mary Ann Redmond), Une Chance Qu'on S'a (Originally recorded as a solo version by Jean-Pierre Ferland), 'Tant De Temps' (I think it was originally recorded by Henri Salvador alone) and of course 'Ne Me Quitte Pas'! This album included more covers than any other French album she released since 'Dion Chante Plamondon'.

ΟΜG so basically the duets... ALL the great songs from SA are brand new!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!epic french album indeed :wub:

I see things quite differently. Beyoncé does care about charts and this is why she released this 'surprise' album. It is a great tactic to have people talk about the new record and how it was an 'unexpected release'. I could believe that she doesn't care about charts had she properly announced the release of a new album some months ago without promoting it any further. What she did is attention-seeking though. Smart move since people don't see her true motives, but they simply praise her artistic ambition since they can't see there's a commercial ambition behind this album release (nothing wrong with that, by the way). Moreover, last time I checked she was promoting her latest album '4' which was commercialized, but just not successful. We're talking about the woman who re-releases her stuff like 5 times till everyone has some reason to buy them. I also disagree with 'Beyoncé let the thrown of music charts to the young girl Rihanna', first of all Rihanna's most important album to date was released in 2007 and Beyoncé's most significant release came a year after, in 2008. It is also rather a fact that Beyoncé never sat on any throne, her releases were always overshadowed by the releases of other singers. (2006 Shakira, 2008 Lady Gaga, 2011 Adele and so on). She was just a solid/great seller till 2011 and '4' and the fact that she easily won Grammy Awards (Thanx to Papa Knowles, of course) helped her built her name. Beyoncé can't see beyond herself, she wants to be established and in order to do so, she needs to have successful releases. A string of flop albums and she'll be labeled as 'has been'. She cares so much to come off as an 'Artist' and be considered significant and this becomes evident with her song 'I Was There'. What I admire about Celine is that she knows where to draw the line. She knows her limits, she never really cared to pass as 'serious' or 'great' or 'cool' or 'sexy' or 'innovative' , but at the same time she's the one who sings masterpieces like 'D'elles'... Gems that Beyoncé is yet to touch.

Beyonce wants to establish something, and Celine just does the best she can. And in Celine's case, doing the best she can is great in itself. Great from Beyonce, but i smell a tactik.

Sorry I don't want to start a Beyoncé discussion here but Beyoncé most important release was in 2008??? Crazy In love Is her anthem and It was release in 2003! Beyoncé has been a giant in music since she is in Destiny's child... And she has been in the top charts during the whole 2000's, It was in 2008 where she had her last big hit with Single Ladies (and by that time I think Umbrella (2007) it is nothing compared with the next Rihanna's hits through the following years till today.... and then I think Beyoncé left her position to her husband's treasure... Rihanna... With the sucess of Rihanna, Beyoncé wins aswell... And she gets out of the main focus to make things like this...

I think beyoncé's aspiration are mainly be remembered as the next modern Diana Ross... (dreamgirls says it all) And time will say... For me I don't care.. I like the family Jay-Z/Beyoncé/Rihanna I think they do really interesting things.

[gafsa]

I really not interested about Beyounce because her booty shake over shadow her song. I hope the B-talk ended right here or just in random thought thread.

[zenmeban]

I don't like Beyoncé but I have to admit that she's done a very smart move, of course it's a commercial move, but at least it's a good one. Way better than not knowing which direction to go for the next album, then decide to put 6 cover songs from a show and 6 new songs (because fans supposedly ask for those covers at the boutique), then cancelling the release 1 month prior to the release date, and finally releasing the album 1 year later, with no music video, and finding a way to still put the original songs that were supposed not to be fitting in a modern album. This shows a complete lack of artistic thinking, and very bad management, when they should have released an EP 2 years ago with the Vegas covers to be sold at the Colosseum and online, and a true new album.

 

I read someone assuming that people were not satisfied with this album because we're already discussing about the next release from Celine. I think it's true because LMBTL doesn't give the impression of a complete and well artistically-developped work.

Best post ever. You took exactly the words right out of my mouth!!! The lack of direction has been present in this album since day 1, we could perfectly see that during the 2 long years they took until they finally decided what to release and what not, with all the back and forwards steps they've given! All to end with the same concept they initially had, only that they "embellished" the product placing 2 more covers on a "deluxe" edition. The Vegas album that they had in mind never left their minds, because it was finally forced to be in the album we have today. And the different songs we have make no sense. It's like having an album of leftovers from other past albums, with the exception of the 3 first songs. Of course, that's what happens when you put songs that you have been recording in different years (2011, 2012 and 2013) without having any idea of where you were going and what you wanted to do with those songs .

 

Amén to every comma of your post dude, that's what I call speaking frankly and right to the point :worthy: :worthy:

All I wanna say is that I love Beyoncé and have all of her albums, including the new one. But I don't compare. Beyoncé is doing what she's doing: GREAT. Celine is doing what she's doing: GREAT. The moment I go back and start thinking about coulda woulda shouldas, my mind will be covered again with dark clouds just like happened with Taking Chances, and I will not enjoy the work. Right now, I am. Waiting for more, of course as I have always done it. But I'm not pissing me off just because of the lack of something; I'm just here for her music.

cmon which celine album (in english) isn't like that? its always been a collection of songs, some sticking out, many being covers, some of them unknown, some of them standards. the only difference is that since 2002 the covers of standards were also sung in Vegas, so you have

At last, Nature Boy - What a wonderful world, If i could, The first time ever i saw your face - Alone (in tour) and now At seventeen, Overjoyed (and yes 3 more as bonus tracks), i really don't see the difference. I'm not saying its good or bad, just not new. At least the production here is good which is the first time i can say that since maybe FIY

[manu23]

Thanks God Celine will never do an album like this new one of Beyonce. I downloaded it (illegally) yesterday and it went directly to the recycle bin except 3 or 4 songs. When will people understand that there are different artists for everyone? We all have different tastes, and please don't you even dare to say that Beyonce doesn't care for success Of course it is a smart strategy and I hope it works for her, the music industry needs this, but a good marketing campaign doesn't make you more artist or more involved with your work .

 

Celine has sold more than 220M albums, she must have done something right, doesn't she?

She's done many, many, many things right, I'm with you. And this new album is doing great! I'm beyond excited.

 

Also, the moment you set expectations too high for your artist, the most likely those will be squashed in a jiffy.

Well, its true we can have our own view here, we can come up with 1,001 different points of view about what Celine album is the most coherent in her career and everyone could have their own view and see it "perfect" for many reasons.

 

But personally, I think this time we can't say it's been like all the other times. Loved Me Back To Life has not been developed in the "usual" way that an album is produced, at least not compared to Céline's previous works. Like I said, this album took almost 3 years in the making. THREE! Wow, in Céline's world thats an eternity to put up an album, for an artist that has been released one album on a yearly basis, with the ease of the blink of an eye!

 

And though it's so true that almost every album of Céline includes covers, it's not less true that she has been "abusing" of them in the last years. It's not the same to have a cover like "The Last To Know" in Unison, back in 1990 when she was starting her international career, than being in 2013 after 6 years with no new music and come with extremely popular covers as "At Seventeen" or "Overjoyed". Same as its not the same to have a cover like "Breakaway" or "Water and a Flame" than those Vegas covers.

 

I've never sympathised with the abuse of covers in her albums, but this time I wasn't critizising that. I don't have a problem with covers, as long as they fit with the rest of the album and don't bother in the flow of the album. But these in LMBTL clearly don't fit, bother and are in the way of the rest of new songs. They come from a different project, which they insisted to keep in this album, even against Céline's will (apparently).

But what I was talking about is about the coherence of this album as a whole. It's true that her previous english albums have also covers, but those albums had a common thread, the album had a general background concept and the sound given to the songs get on well one with each other. I'm talking of albums like "Celine Dion", "The Colour of My Love" and "A New Day Has Come" (that one being the best creative attempt in her career to me). But unfortunately, I don't see that common thread happening in LMBTL.

 

To keep with the ANDHC example, that album still had covers, but only two of them were really covers (At Last and Nature Boy). The rest of the covers were transformed into new songs, because either they were french originals (Ten Days, The Greatest Reward and Aun Existe Amor) or they took an original Céline one (something I'll praise forever!) to transform it in another complete new song in another language (Aun Existe Amor). That had clearly some creative input, there's an effort behind that, from a creative point of view. And for sure there's a sound on it that you can relate with and say "yeah, this song sounds like taken from that album or that year 2002". But in LMBTL, where she comes to sing those overused covers, where's the challenge? Where's the "step forward" and the artistic goal? What did they try to sound like? I cant figure it out.

 

With LMBTL, she should ether have go all the way with the sound of Sia's song, Auda Mae or NeYo for the full album, or keep the album "classic" as with "Didn't Know Love", "Thankful" or "Always Be Your Girl" (not to mention the totally out of place Vegas covers in the album ). But mixing everything like a chemist to see what happens... I don't see the result. I mean, if you want to be modern and pretending to be it, go all the way with the whole project, don't stay halfway. Because that what happens with this album, which clearly has two very different parts, fruit of two diffent concepts they had in mind, that have been "torturing" them for almost 3 years. "Should we do an album of covers?" "Should we do an album full of originals?", "Should we do half one type and half the other?"... and when you don't have clear what you want to do here, either you get a masterpiece album, or you get an album which is a mess.

 

The sound of LMBTL, SLS, Incredible or Save Your Soul is light years away from the second half of the album. To me, one half of the album collides violently with the other half, and that has never happened before in another previous album of her. This time its like they've picked parts of All The Way, Falling Into You or even The Colour Of My Love, and placed them randomly in the album to see what it turns out to be. Like an experiment. But the contrast between those first songs and the ones placed in the second half its too disconcerting.

 

Also, this album has only 13 tracks. Taking Chances had 16 and A New Day Has Come had 17. If they had included MORE songs in the style of Sham & Motesart, Play Production or NeYo, maybe we could say this album has a specific style or sound on it, which defines it. But when you have so many people working on an album and nobody that gives it the "general touch" to make it sound coherent, you get LMBT: a hodgepodge of songs from different years, hands and producers that in the end you don't know what you are listening and what the artist has tried to say with the album.

 

These 5 Vegas covers should have been released in an album called "The Standards", like Gloria Estefan did, and get rid of them as soon as possible to concentrate on a full new album, like zenmeban said. MODERN, or CLASSIC, but please choose one. Don't mix both things in the crazy way they've done. Maybe the day Céline realizes about this, and what's the suitable place to put certain kind of songs, we'll have again a decent album that you can listen from start to end without feeling uncomfortable and skipping songs because they break the flow of the album

[LuisMa]

While I respect what you say, Javi, and I also want a dance album, or a duets album, or many other concepts that I wish she would release, I feel they did a good job with LMBTL in the sense that it's eclectic. There's something there for everyone that's been a fan over the years, and enough material to capture new listeners as well.

 

And it's not that I love everything on it: a couple of covers I don't like, an uptempo song I'm like meh and there's a ballad or two I don't really like the lyrics, but as a whole, I can listen to it no problem. And the sales worldwide are speaking that people are into it, so I think it's decent.

[Javito]

I'm not following the sales but I'm happy if its selling well! But I impute that more to the eager that people had for new Celine music and the respect everyone has for a real voice, than for the quality of the album. Same as with Sans Attendre, PAMP had great positions in the charts and the album sold great, but I'm sure its more for the "hunger" that everyone had for a new album after so many years, than for the "good/bad" factor about the content.

 

With this I'm not saying that both albums are not good (I think SA is much better than LMBTL), but I'm sure that the time she spent without new albums had much to do here

[LukeD]

I think that we might have been a bit 'obsessed' (I include myself here too) with Celine releasing a modern album and what I don't understand is why nobody complained about the songs that sounded dated on the 'Sans Attendre' album. Nobody ever said a bad thing about 'Tant De Temps' (which I love) that sounded dated and seemed out of place in the album, as it has a really 'old vide' musically/production-wise. 'Une Chance Qu'on S'a' and even the fan-favorite 'Qui Peut Vivre Sans Amour' could have been recorded in the 90s, I remember people noticed the similarity between the introduction of 'Calling You' and 'Qui Peut Vivre Sans Amour'. A friend of mine who loved the album, told me that 'Attendre' sounded dated and to be honest, I have heard songs from around 2003-2005 that sound alike musically. Same goes for 'L'amour Peut Prendre Froid', the guitar solo reminded me of the musical bridge of 'Think Twice' and 'Love Doesn't Ask Why'. Moreover, 'Ne Me Quitte Pas' is a random addition to the album, yet there were no complains in this case either. Edited December 14, 2013 at 02:15 PM by LukeD

If we made a vote with al Celine fans including die hard and casual fans i'm sure it wouldnt get a half voter who voted for Celine to make completly new music style, i believe it would interesting but soon people would miss the ballad Celine. I'm sure what she has done is the best thing she could do for her fans.

[manu23]

Talking about Beyonce, her album was ready to come out after the Super Bowl and before the tour, but they postponed because the "single" flopped. There're always last time changes, it not only happens to Celine. And can you imagine the meltdowns on the forum about a cover without a Celine's picture, I still remember when Sans Attendre came out

 

Of course things can always improve, I would make some changes in LMBTL, but I consider myself lucky of being a Celine fan, at 45 she still promotes more than most of artists and still manages to sell decently with almost no radio support or hit singles. She is being promoting and giving concerts in Europe for more than a month and she doesn't even take a break before returning to Las Vegas, instead she starts doing promo again, to me that's unbelievable, she is soooo rich she could stop working right now, but she keeps on and on..

 

People have the right to complain, but you should stop and think first, and see what others do (Britney e.g.) Celine at 45 and with more than 30 years of career is doing more than enough, give her some more credit
