I can't wait for this album. I don't know why, but I have a good feeling about what's coming. Although, of course, I'm nervous as well.

 

And last year I really thought we might get a Spring release, but now I don't really think so anymore. I feel like it's getting longer and longer to wait for something that is always "forthcoming".

[isurrender]

If she doesn't release anything before the asian/aussie tour, she doesn't really give a d*** about the commercial perf of her next album.

Well she probably already knows radio won’t pick her up, so why not put out a great album her fans will love?

Radio picked Cher at her 50s because she was INNOVATIVE, GROUND-BREAKING & MODERN.... Céline can do the same, all depends on her...

[donpi86]

everyday I am seeing this more like "Love Me back 2 life: delayed and outdated already". An album with year and a half old songs recorded, she will drop the singles "by surprise" in some recorded concert in Asia so she has a "music video" and then some american TV shows on september-oct and finito.

Maybe so. Maybe Celine can't break the mold that everyone, meaning the industry and casual listeners, put her in, a ballad singer and nothing more. To me, she did try to go modern with LMBTL (the single) and got absolutely no where, even though the critics were giving great praises. We will have to see.

Wasn't Cher's "Believe" a club hit first and then radio picked it up? I may be mistaken.

I think since th LMBTL era, her apperences have been very current and she has changed peoples opinions of her. She is much more recognised by young people now and not just a name they know. The work she has done over the past two years has done wonders for her career and I’m sure this will be represented in her new album..... that’s if it’s a work of art that it should be...

True. Cher's believe was the first club song the world had ever known.

Very ground breaking indeed.

 

And reading your posts I thought it didn't depend on Céline but on your tastes. Guess I was wrong. It's all on Céline's back!

 

I don't know if personally that's what I want for Céline. Cher had a hit and that's it.

Never heard Cher on radio the last 20 years tbh.

Radio did not pick Cher. Cher pushed the hell out of that song because nobody was picking it up! She pushed people to want to hear it. A lot of self promotion because she believed in a song that nobody else was.

LMBTL the song was just simply not pushed, and Sony said themselves that they weren't going to bother pushing it.

If I remember correctly the stations told Sony that they simply would not play her. (Top 40)

Help me out with this one.

I remember in an article, they said they weren't going to push the song hard on radio. They sent it to AC radio after making some deal that lasted a week, but they were very adamant about not pushing it in any capacity at Top 40.

[joaofilho]

I also remember Sony having issued a statement saying it would not send the music to the radios. If the record company did not believe in the potential of the song, it is difficult to succeed and play the radio.

I'm not sure if it was that they didn't believe in the potential of the song, or just didn't want to spend the money. After all, this was an album that had a previous concept rejected only months prior to release. I don't entirely blame them for not wanting to invest too much into it, as much as I love the album.

[SuperLove4Celine]

I consider “Loved Me Back To Life” to be pretty average, even bordering on “filler” material. All the casual Celine listeners I played it for loathed its intro and found it cheesy, and cringed at the electric guitar towards the end. Today, the song sounds dated to me, and not in a good, nostalgic sort of way. It never surprised me that the song didn’t go further, with or without Sony’s help.

"dated to me" shshsjjsjsu Sia will probably release note songs with this same sonority (like she usually does) and will still make them hits....LMBTL doesn't sound dated

[Bruno Portugal]

I adore Sia and I like the idea of her presenting more songs to Celine. Maybe we'll get a more coherent album. I just expect that Celine keeps remembering that the songs must sound Sia songs sung by Celine.

I need this album so much but it must be great.

I listen to the David Morales remix more than the original I love it!!

[brandon_vincent]

I thought Somebody Loves Somebody and At Seventeen are my favorites from Loved Me Back To Life!

I know, song ''Believe'' was very ground breaking back in 1998, this is one the reasons why Cher was unable the recreate the same level success with her other singles after that but anyway I don't think we can compare the music business from 1998 with the one from 2018. Back in the 80's and 90's radios were still playing singers aged in their 40's and 50's but nowadays that's not the case.

I respectfully disagree with you. Give that song to Rihanna or Lady Gaga and you'll see it'll be their biggest hit ever! And it'll be number 1 in more than 37 countries.

 

Its just they didn't push the song enough. I agree with someone who said about Cher. She worked her hard to make sure everyone hears her new song.

[celinesounds]

a song written by sia, doesn't have to sound like Sia, all depends of Celine and the Producer ;p

[smw]

I'm all for Celine singing for new Sia songs written for this new album. HOWEVER I want Celine to sound like Celine. Not trying to imitate Sia or Adele or anyone other than her own Iconic amazing self.

 

I want this entire new English album to showcase her Iconic tone. Her Iconic VOICE. This voice was well represented on Encore un Soir.

[gafsa]

I don't know, I have faith on this album, I think we gonna have the new yet classic Celine.

Don't forget that when Cher released "Believe" she was in a total different life phase than Céline: Cher didn't have a residency show, small childern and a Summer tour coming up (talking about the new English single, or a husband who was diagnosed with cancer again talkbing about LMTBL), so Cher had 'all the time in the world' to push the single and the album and promote the heck out of it! Not to mention that Believe is a damn good song and very innovative at that time.

 

I wish Céline would focuss a full year just promoting her new album and earning her spot in the pop music again, not as a legacy, but as a current artist. But then again nowadays singers earn more with concerts than with album sales, so it's logical she spends more time on shows than on promoting albums.

Luckily, it’s her favorite thing to do as well

I can’t wait for the new album to see also how Celine treats this record after it’s released. And I totally understand when she says that she has nothing to prove and career is more important than having a hit, bit I wish sometimes she would try again to have one
