Articles in English about French albums

[Celine Fan 77]

I thought that it would be interesting to post here all the English articles about Céline's French albums we find on the net. I start by posting this review of 'Sans Attendre' by Stephen Thomas Erlewine, from 'AllMusic':

 

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

For her first album in five years, Céline Dion returns to her native French, cutting a moody collection called Sans Attendre. Perhaps it is the relatively diminished commercial expectations of a French-only album but there's an appealing small-scale aspect to Sans Attendre; certainly it is melodramatic but it is not garishly bombastic. The production is relatively restrained and, in turn, it gives plenty of space for Dion to grandstand on these tales of heartbreak, aging, and death. These aren't songs of love; they're songs of loss, and while there is certainly an affectation to Dion's performance, there's also genuine pathos and the small scale of Sans Attendre makes for one of her better albums of recent memory.
