"Courage" album - Official Topic

[emmanuel]

I can't find any links on Google, help...

And now what? After a bunch of you listened to them, the excitement has gone. You have only 4 songs to wait on 15th. Oh yeah, you also minimize the streaming potential in billboard 200

Calm down. You still can listen in your time. Only hard fans would run to Spotify to listen to that repeatedly on 15th, and as we can see, her Spotify numbers are veeeeery low there anyway.

Geez, i don't really care if you listen it yourself, but since it is out there in public, it will kill the streaming power when the album is out. For instance, one would probably listen to courage album 10 times during the day of release but because one haa listened to it so many times between now and 15th, one may be unlikely to listen to it numerious times on the day of release in spotify. It will kill the streaming sales. Get it?

 

No, I don’t get it. The only people who are going to be listening to the leaked album are crazed Celine fans who will still stream it 10 times the day that it’s released because they care about things like “streaming sales.”

About Nobody's Watching:

 

 

 

Who agrees it has a very 90s Céline vibe to it? A bit like a mixture of Why oh Why, Make You Happy and THLAL.

 

 

 

 

Yes 90s but a brand new 90s....

Well, keep streaming when the album is released on Nov 15. That's why I deleted the 3 songs that i bought on iTunes and added the streaming version from Apple Music. I'm good with streaming lol I still stream her older albums in Apple Music Edited November 3, 2019 at 03:09 PM by jpatdeleon09

So far, my favorite is If Lovers Never Die.

Pepe is not on Facebook.

 

He even had to come out and very specifically say 'any account that's on FB that claims to be me, isn't. I'm not on there'.

 

I'm flabbergasted people actually fall for this stuff and can't tell real from fake. It's generally the older crowd - boomers and older - who don't have the internet literacy of the younger generation. But that's her audience, so that's how you end up with a bunch of people thinking that really is Pepe. And clearly it's more than that, since as far as I can tell you don't fall into that demo.

 

It's same with RC. It's amazing how many people think the various IG accounts posting pictures of him, are him.

it is a chance that ALL youger people are gifted with so much intelligence. Edited November 3, 2019 at 03:39 PM by québecflower

[Taking Chances]

 

Look At Us Now

is also one of the good ones.

 

Along with:

How Did You Get Here, Change My Mind and Nobody's Watching.

 

Surprisingly, I like the slightly upbeat songs more. I didn't expect I would.

Guys seriously I understand our excitement wanting to listen to the songs already, but can’t help to feel the hype/ overall momentum is being killed.

 

 

[Bruno Portugal]

It's sad, revolting and totally illegal! After years of waiting for this album, just over a week from its release it leaks...

 

In the past, this has led to some artists to anticipate the official release date. We'll see what will happen with the Courage album.

 

At least we're already sure that this album is tremendous!

The Dionaisance will start in music.

 

[yoyoma]

I am happy that i am waiting. I adds the excitement that it will be coupled with celine promo and celebration of the album at the same time with majority of the people all around the world. Whereas those who have listened it now, you may not understand/achieve that ecstasy on the 15th. The element of opening a gift is now gone. Congrats! For those who refrain from the temptation, good on you and trust me you will have million times of joy than if you listen to them now

[yoyoma]

It is like opening your xmas present 12 days before xmas. Lol!

[mirage]

So funny seeing people coming here who don't even post reguraly asking for links and all.

 

So sad it's already leaked fully.

Takes away the whole vibe waiting the days before the release, getting hyped.

All killed by some fans who couldn't even wait just 11 more days.

Like really :-|

[jpatdeleon09]

I really like How Did You Get Here?

[ryba]

I definitely enjoy the second part of the album much more.

 

Here are my thoughts:

• “Baby” is an amazing song! It should have been sent to radios and be the first official single with a music video (not Imperfection or Lying Down). Definitely one of the very best on the album IMO.
  
• “Say Yes” and "Change My Mind" are great songs. Radio single potential.
  
• “The Chase” is a good song! Has a very interesting country vibe to it.
  
• In “For The Lover That I Lost” she has a very weird pronunciation, especially in the chorus. I observed that it often happens when she tries to be assertive and then she sounds weird like this. Also, I think that this song should have been sung with a lot of emotion and not with assertiveness. Her style of singing it doesn’t fit the lyric. The song itself is ok.
  
• “I Will Be Stronger” sounds so familiar.
  
• “How Did You Get Here” has a strong Aretha Franklin/Amy Winehouse vibe, but it’s a fun song, not sad or melancholic. I kind of like the gospel vibes in there.
  
• “Look At Us Now” is ok. I like it. I think it will grow on me even more in time.
  
• Does she really sing “This s*** is perfect” in “Perfect Goodbye” ????
  

She has been leaking so many parts of her new songs all the time! Here is what I’ve noticed:

• “I wanna party like a believer” is what she sang in one of the interviews and it’s part of “Nobody’s Watching”.
  
• The very beginning of “I will be stronger” is what she leaked on Carpool Karaoke.
  

All in all: I don’t want to be negative, but I expected much more from this album. I’m not blown away by it (maybe it will change in time). Moreover, some songs (e.g. "I Will Be Stronger") sound like they actually belong to LMBTL. When I listen to some songs, I have the impression that I listen to LMBTL part II.

Also Look At Me Now on Carpool Karaoke

Reflections:

 

 

 

Celine thank you for delivering the most coherent English album of your career. No competition guys!

 

Some stand-out songs:

• For The Lover That I Lost
  
• Change My Mind
  
• Say Yes
  
• Nobody's Watching
  
• The Chase
  
• I Will Be Stronger
  

All songs are actually good and interesting! LMBTL is absolutely destroyed. On every level.

 

 

[Taking Chances]

• Does she really sing “This s*** is perfect” in “Perfect Goodbye” ????
  

 

It does sound like she saying s***, yeah.

 

Unless... "This ship is perfect."

[jpatdeleon09]

And again all are ORIGINAL songs. First time ever for a Céline english album

[LukeD]

• Does she really sing “This s*** is perfect” in “Perfect Goodbye” ????
  

I think she does! This and another song - or two - have a Lana Del Rey vibe. Not a bad thing for me. I would play Perfect Goodbye next to Lucky Ones.

Thanks for this... I’ve not heard it yet... gives me a good feeling that you said this

[ruimarques]

Its fummy how we are all different .. I Lve "For the lover that I Lost" I am obsessed with that song and as the throaty voice is quite sinature for Celine I dont mind that she overdoing it .... It's her.. she overdoing everything! This song is just tooo cute

[ryba]

Yeah, I really appreciate that.

Υes, trust me! Let me know what you think once you listen...!

[jpatdeleon09]

Yeah, I really appreciate that.

 

Do you think they will be consistent?

[ryba]

Do you think they will be consistent?

I really hope so!

[LukeD]

For The Lover That I Lost has a similar vibe to Ariana Grande's Just A Little Bit Of Your Heart. Love them both! Such a sucker for ballads!

[Mlaroche2711]

I don’t know how to unzip the file 😂

I don't find it cute at all, but that's my taste. I'm genuinely happy someone likes it, but that song is sung exactly how I don't prefer her to sing. I prefer the opposite of that, if that makes sense.

 

I'm sure it will grow on me though. I want to like everything, so that goes a long way. We'll see how I feel once I know all the songs in the back of my head.
