"Courage" album - Official Topic

[zuv]

 

 

I guess you refer to LTAL? Biggest in sales? Yes. Greatest album? I don't think so. Biggest in sales doesn't mean greatest

 

LTAL got her the biggest sales to a great extent because of MHWGO and the smash Titanic single included there, in the middle of a boom with a blockbuster movie. But not because it's one of her greatest albums. It's full of random songs, covers coming out of nowhere and songs that don't fit at all with the others. But that's just my opinion.

 

Yep, your opinion. I love all the songs on there.... like i really do..

 

The Reason

Immortality

Why oh why

Tell him

A spanish song

Miles to go, great poeme!

Us!!!

Just a little bit of love

MHWGO

Lets Talk about love

 

Loooove all these songs... even the one i didn’t mention. Her voice is crystal clear. Her most pure and powerful album (along with FIY and TAST)

 

But yeah MHWGO certainly helped her out.... its not what made her famous though.

[Taking Chances]

Well, who cares, anyway...

Even without Adele competition, Celine would have, what? One week of exposure, at tops (based on LMBTL release)?

A little bit more if it was #1.And that's it.

 

The fact is that not much is lost, if this it's true.

 

Just be glad that we will have a Celine album, after all this time, with 20 new tracks.

 

As much as I want Celine to do well and do great on the charts and all that, it's not gonna make any difference (I think) at this point in her career. After this album, the next (English) album will take however long it takes regardless of how well this one does. So I don't really think Adele releasing her album at the same time is gonna have much impact on anything other than charts, which I don't care about. It's just a bonus if it does amazingly well. I do wish Sony wouldn't deliberately do this though.

Because you dont like duets that doesn't mean that someone that does is has weird petitions. A duet is a beautiful marriage between two artists... Some of her biggest and my favorite songs are duets. The Prayer I'm your angel... Nobody is saying she needs Adele I'm just saying I would like to hear her sing with Adele think there voices will blend well together and they have similar ballady style so they are together able to create something as great as when you believe or tell him...

Ugghh another lost opporunity to have her 5th No. 1 album on Billboard.

 

- It happened with One Heart. I think Ashanti (who was like the biggest act at the time) came out with her album

 

- Then Taking Chances. This time it was Alicia Keys

 

- Then Loved Me Back to Life against Eminem

 

- And now Courage losing to Adele?

 

If only Sony had the decency to move the release date up or down by even just a week or two... Then all these four albums would have gone to No. 1 and Celine would have 8 No. 1 albums under her belt.

[Nando Férri]

I’m still very curious about her mid/uptempo songs. I hope they are gonna sound great and current. My hopes on Aoki (I hope he won’t come with a ballad like David Guetta did).

[ryba]

yeah, I wonder what Aoki had to offer and if it will be one of the bonus tracks on the deluxe edition, or a song on the standard version. I don't like his Ashes remix, so I'm a little sceptical when it comes to his song, but I hope that i will be pleasently surprised Edited October 11, 2019 at 03:31 PM by ryba

Even with Adeles huge 2nd week sales, Celine will dethrone at least for one week, her tour bundle will have sold at least 600,000 copies of the album, they count on the Billboard 200

Sony had enough with the continuous delays of this album every year since 2016 and at least two postponements. I bet they're up to their neck if Celine now was to propose another delay of this album due to another artist rivalling with her on the release date.

It's not as if she'll push it back like for months. She'll just move it down or up by JUST ONE WEEK. That will make all the differennce. In fact, if she moves the release earlier, say, 4th week of October, then there wouldnt be a "delay"... Instead, we will have a much earlier present. Currently there are no big releases on the 3rd or 4th week of October... So thats the best date to move up courage's release date.

Well I hope this happens and Celine indeed dethrones Adele on 2nd week.

[fred]

Maybe The Hard Way? Is that a pasionate seduction song name? Is there another Grey movie coming?

 

 

 

Let’s hope that the PMLALS is a different title..

[fred]

I don't listen to that song often. But I agree it's a beuatiful song. And one of the few times Céline dared to experiment with her sound. I love it. Not everything needs to be a powerballad-high-notes-orgasm. This soft sound suits her nice as well. Not single material, but a mighty fine closer indeed. 👍

 

 

 

I can't understand the hate SOLA receives from so many people. To me it's one of her best closing tracks, it is beautifully produced and her voice is haunting. It's up there with ALPHB. But to each their own

[nowanorris]

Has anyone actually found any concrete evidence that Adele is releasing an album next month before Celine? I have found nothing on her official website and nothing on Amazon. If she really is, well...we can complain all we want about how Celine has handled promotion in the past, but Adele has not been promoting anything at all thus far. LOL In fact, the very first thing you come across on her website is a photo album of pics from Wembley 2017. Her site needs a serious face lift.

 

Unless there is a surprise album drop planned, I can't seem to find anything which really leads me to believe there's going to be any competition next month.

[Nmj]

I don’t know why this album wasn’t planned for an October release??? The album is clearly ready and it would tie in perfectly with the beginning of the English leg of the tour...

 

However, how certain is the Adele news?

[Ronny83]

Please, repeat after me:

 

No one ever confirmed that the song on that snippet was called "Play Me Like A Love Song".

[Nmj]

Everyone is gonna feel some kind of way, when they realize that “Play Me Like A Love Song”, is on the album under it’s actual “real” name.

 

I’d bet that it’s “A Lover Never Dies” aka track 02.

[AdrienneM]

Theres zero confirmation of Adele releasing. One tabloid claimed a date they heard aka a rumor, but then every music media source ran with it like its a fact... there is ZERO evidence of this album and its supposedly like 3 weeks away

It doesn't matter what it's the title. Just put the damn song in the album! 😂

[Dancing_Queen]

So we're still missing the writers of a few songs I see.

Hopefully Céline wrote one or two herself.

She has been talking about writing songs during a few interviews this spring, so maybe the album title inspired her to get courageous?

Perhaps she wrote 'For the Lover that I lost', can you imagine?

Heart Of Glass? Cover of 1979’s Blondie song?

 

Edit: my bad, I’ve just realised it was written by Sia lol

When I saw "Heart of Glass" I thought it'd be a cover of a cute French song "Coeur de verre"

[Overjoyed]

Nope. It's a Sia song.

Actually this is her first album without any cover...

[CelineDionFreak]

Oh wow!!! This is great news. I do love all the song titles and I feel like this will be her most personable album to date. I can tell she’s really taking charge because all of the song titles sound like they mean something directly to her, which I can really get behind. I’m so excited to hear these and I am so ecstatic that we are only a month out! This is great.

 

I’m interested to hear the 2 other Sia songs. I know she’s known for writing a multitude of diffrent styles so I’m sure they will be great.

[smw]

Let’s hope Adele holds off on releasing her album.

 

I do think there’s a chance Celine’s album could still have its moment to shine — but I’d rather Adele stay out of the way for now.

 

The only way I can see Adele releasing her new album is if it all drops at once — her album / videos / updated website / etc. All on the release day. So we might not know or get any hint until it happens.

 

Regardless, I’m thrilled about the track list for Celine’s new album!!! All new songs! Ashes would’ve been a great addition but it had its moment and it can still be a part of her shows. Hoping PMLALS is Lovers Never Die. We shall see!

[ehild]

Please, repeat after me:

 

No one ever confirmed that the song on that snippet was called "Play Me Like A Love Song".

 

I'm curious to know which song this is on the album! I have a feeling on release day we're all going to be skipping songs looking to see which one this is. If it's not on the album after all I'm going to be so sad as it's been stuck in my head now for a day or two LOL. I can't even imagine the uproar on here......

 

EDIT: Assuming the track-list is accurate, that is. We'll know soon enough!

There was never a definitive release, so I don’t know where anyone gets postponement from.

[fred]

Yea, sorry, I meant the video where she was asked about PMLALS.

https://youtu.be/ZC7wWLq6Hvk

[isurrender]

Wait, is this going to be the first Celine Dion album with ALL brand new, original songs written for her??? No covers at all?? That would be ground-breaking news now

 

 

 

Amen dude. Finally making some common sense here!

 

 

 

Because people can be so tiring and clueless sometimes, making no sense. I too cannot figure out how fans can be asking at this stage for these songs to be on the album when it's been 2 and 3 years already since they were released. It's just a bit of common sense before asking things that don't make sense...

 

For once that we're apparently getting an album with all new songs, and people is asking for old songs released 3 years ago to be in the album. Right :doh:We need thouse precious 4 bonus tracks, which are a well deserved gift to fans after all these long 6 years, to be also brand new songs!

 

That doesn't make any sense either to exclude "Ashes" and put "FOMO" instead just because it's newer. I prefer a good song (even cover) than FOMO. And FOMO as the opening song is even worse... it might fun for some but that's it : fun. It's no way on a opener level.

 

Natural Woman was recorded in 93/94 I think and ended up in a 96 album.

I've never heard anyone complaining ( beside of course the soul lovers who think she destroyed the song lol).

 

Sorry but your way of thinking doesn't make any more sense.

I just listened to Recovering again for the first time in a long time. I'm going back through a bunch of Celine songs as I prep for the new album.

 

It's such a simple beautiful song. I loved when she included it in the Vegas setlist. How lovely that Pink was so moved by Celine losing Rene that she sent her this song? That shows a lot of class.

 

Part of me was mentally prepared for a lot of these songs -- like Recovering, How Does A Moment Last Forever, The Show Must Go On, etc. -- to be included on Celine's new album. But they have really surprised us so far!

 

Loving the titles on the track list, loving the roll out of songs, loving the music video!

[smw]

FLYING ON MY OWN -- lyrically -- is actually a perfect album opener. Clearly Celine feels like that is THE song that represents where she's at right now so it was a choice that she made with purpose. And it's a feel-good song similar to how LOVE CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS opens the Celine Dion album, even though that album is incredibly mellow and dramatic compared to such a big bang opening song. I'M ALIVE was also such a nice, lively surprise to open the A NEW DAY HAS COME album.

 

Celine took her sweet, sweet time to craft this album. This will be HER album from start to finish and I'M LOVING IT.
