When will we get the next French album?

[Frozen_Phoenix]

As "Sans Attendre" is/ was such a huge success, do you think it will take long until we get a follow-up?

 

Which musical direction should its successor take?

[lllBeautifulll]

Don't know but I wish she work again with J-J. Goldman or Luc Plamondon. For my personal taste, Sans Attendre was a little bit too outdated and twee with songs for her dad, mom and children. I prefer more actuals songs like in Loved me back to life (minus Overjoyed).

I'm hoping for a JJ Goldman collaboration, although it's highly unlikely it will happen. Edited June 6, 2014 at 06:56 PM by Jessyka

Maybe next year, who knows? She's doing less shows now, so she could record more.

[Philippe1984]

We need rhythm for the next french album. Something different and modern ;-)

[québecflower]

i would like something written by Pierre Lapointe my favorite male singer, great music and bizarre but profound lyrics. A bit crazy and over the top himself.

[woodstock]

I think someone mentionned a few weeks earlier that Sony France was thinking of a new french best-of album. Am i wrong ?

[mike_z]

I don't think we'll get a "modern" french album. This one worked so they won't change the formula.

 

Probably some more Jean-Pierre Ferland... Veneruso as always and some Jacques Brel cover.

 

Plamondon is always refreshing!

 

I wouldn't mind getting a "Sans Attendre" part 2!

How about a French "Overjoyed" That would be over the top! Edited June 6, 2014 at 10:59 PM by DionFanAlways

Well we will get another French albumbefore another English one that is for sure.

Pierre Lapointe is far from it, i can assure you, he is very gloomy, but joyful at the same time..

[TiagoFragoso05]

I would LOVE to see her working with JJ Goldman again... Idk they are great together

I find "Overjoyed" gloomy and joyful at the same time... It could work.

I've had an idea for a "concept French album" in my head for a few years. It isn't groundbreaking, mind you, but I do think it would make an interesting edition to her discography. What about doing French versions of some of her best known English hits? The arrangements wouldn't have to be direct replicas, but could instead be slightly modernized. Not too much so as not to alienate her fans, but just enough to potentially help bring in a new group of fans. By doing this, we could potentially get a full version of "Mes ailes à moi" (see below). She could even add in a few non-hits if she felt strongly about it. Some of her English songs I'd like to hear in French someday are:

• "My Heart Will Go On"
  
• "It's All Coming Back To Me Now"
  
• "All By Myself"
  
• "The Power Of Love"
  
• "That's The Way It Is"
  
• "Have You Ever Been In Love"
  
• "Nothing Broken But My Heart"
  
• "My Love"
  
• "Think Twice"
  
• "You And I"
  
• "Somebody Loves Somebody"
  
• "Reveal"
  
• "Then You Look At Me"
  
• "I Surrender"
  
• "Prayer"
  
• "Live (For The One I Love)"
  
• "I Feel Too Much"
  
• "Naked"
  
• "Refuse To Dance"
  
• "A Song For You"
  

There are so many others I could choose, but those mentioned are just a highlight of my top picks.

 

Thoughts?

Non-francophone countries wouldn't mind about this release because they have these songs in English and with better vocals since Celine in her 40s can't sound as powerful as she sounded in her 20s. Francophone countries, on the other hand, would cringe at this release. It's as if she gives way too much weight to her English catalogue. I actually doubt hardcore fans would enjoy listening to French versions of these songs, many of them wrote history the way they are. Not to mention that Celine would come off as a singer that no songwriter gives a f*** about and as a result she resorts into recycling her own old songs. To me, the best thing to do (for her image and commercial success) is to come up with an album filled with fresh, original songs. That way she shows her career is going on...

I'm sure Sony will be very much interested in repeating the commercial success they had with SA, so a new French album might be released earlier than we expect

 

2016 is quite a sensible suggestion

 

btw, I'd die if Celine recorded a fresh and modern sounding duet with either Emmanuel Moire or Florent Mothe

??? Sans Attendre isnt even dead yet... They could very possibly release a new single if they wanted.

 

How about releasing the damn title track? It would make sense to release that particular song, 2 years later (attendre-waiting) and its a fun summer song.

they could release it if they wanted to, not sure if they will though

[Frozen_Phoenix]

I would also love her to collaborate with Goldman again, although I thought that he retired a while ago?

 

I really really loved D'Elles and liked that album much better than Sans Attendre. It felt more diverse.

 

Also some more songs like Je lui dirai would be fantastic.

:S another proof that humans are all different: for me d'elles is my least favorite album from Celine. I really wanted to love La Diva since i love when Celine goes high, but that song always ends up with a headache :-( Sans Attendre is at the top along with SSDA and D'eux.

 

Btw, jean jacques Goldman is still writting for other artists, i think he is just out of inspiration for Celine and prefers not written anything rather than writting bad stuff for her.

[Frozen_Phoenix]

D'elles is full of highlights: Les Temps Qui Compte, Immensite, A Cause, Je Cherche L'Ombre, S'il n'en restait qu'une,

 

Those songs really mean something to me, they always push me into certain mood I like very much.

 

I never understood why so many people hated D'elles. Sans Attendre feels so boring to me.

 

However, glad to hear Goldman isn't stuck in retirement. Somehow makes me hope they will collaborate in the future.

I love both D'elles and Sans Attendre. For her new album I want her to work with David Gategno. He's behind ESNRQ from D'elles and QPVSA, Attendre, LMEL and SJNRDT from SA. Edited June 7, 2014 at 04:21 PM by LukeD
