"Courage" album - Official Topic

it would be great to get a new album from celine, but im not holding my breath. it took six years between taking chance and loved me back to life. its alot of work putting a new album together publicity tour promos etc and given renes current state i think we are maybe asking a bit much of her. we have her back on stage for 40 shows at the mo. i think they are taking things slowly one show at a time to see how renes condition develops. she like to have that balance between showbiz and family life and renes condition ontop of that. as much as i'd love a new album soon i just dont think its going to happen. i had a thought if anything happend to rene (touch wood) that she would take a hiatus then maybe release a deep emotional darkish album about rene. but hey any new material would be amazing!

I would absolutely LOVE a jazz record from Celine.

I'm kind of a lapsed Celine fan - listened to her rather obsessively in late '90s but since then I've largely tuned out, outside of maybe the French albums. And then I recently stumbled across a Youtube version of Mr Paganini, and....WOW!

Reading about that session in 2012 with Herbie Hancock, Christian McBride and Terri Lyne Carrington gives me a lot of hope! I mean, Herbie is clearly a legend, but so is Christian McBride, and Terri Lyne is no slouch either. I'm a huge jazz fan and have seen all three of them play live in various incarnations and they're the creme-de-la-creme of jazz musicians. Would lend Celine some instant street cred in the jazz world, and perhaps finally win her some respect from the critics (because let's face it, she deserves it!)

These recent reports that Celine was supposedly recording at Berklee in Boston last week have me all giddy! I mean, it's arguably the world's top jazz school and Terri Lyne is a professor there, so...maybe this is really happening?!

And lastly, I think Diana Krall should produce this. Love her as a jazz pianist and singer, but she's also proven to be a serious producer (Barbara Streisand's Love is the Answer) and musical director/ arranger (Paul McCartney's standards record, Kisses on the Bottom). That, plus she's the queen of nuance and restraint, which I think is exactly what Celine needs on an album like this. Oh, and Diana's own latest record was produced by David Foster, so here's hoping he can facilitate an intro ;-) ! (Although I think Diana has already appeared on a Celine album as a session musician, playing piano on Blue Christmas on These Are Special Times!) Plus, a fellow Canadian and mom of twin boys!

Seriously, Celine needs to do this! She has all the ingredients to make a killer jazz album. And if this were to happen it would definitely bring me back into the Celine fold, and I think would win her a lot of new fans and respect. Maybe she can do a top secret appearance at the Montreal Jazz Fest like Gaga did last year...

Oh, and I'd love another French record; would love to hear her sing more Brel, Piaf... you know, the classic chansons. And I hope they release and market the English and French records simultaneously. Maybe that way more people will get introduced to Celine's French catalogue, which I always felt was sooo much better than her English stuff.

Anyway, just my 2 cents!

I'm still convinced that she should do a duet with Phil Collins !

I :heart: Phil but this would be interesting. He is semi retired tho.

Mix between ANDHC and LTAL, something fun and full of love album

June 29, 2015 at 10:10 AM

Diane Warren is AMAZING!!!! "Unfinished Songs" is one of my favorites on the LMBTL album. Céline is probably going to be recording a more back to basics-throwback-bluesy album, with a very sleek sofisticated cover look. Then there's the more colour-full album cover look, with uptempo, ballads, with a bit of rock & gosbal just like "Falling into you." But with a serious modern sound. Which will it be....? I would guess it all depends on her life events. And my fellow CELINE fans know what I mean. So, with our René, we might receive a compilation album and a complete music video/concert DVD/blue ray. And as I pray, I hope we get them all.

List of producers/songwriters: Sia, Diane Warren, Robyn, Ladyhawke, JJG..... Etc...

What's wrong with Diane Warren? I like her.

June 29, 2015 at 10:21 AM

I LOVE THIS!!!!! There are so many themes in my head. But you put quite a bit of it below. JAZZ? A huge YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!! I can hear Célines voice right now singing Jazz.

Another thing is, I've ALWAYS heard and hoped that she would record "Help" by Aretha Franklin.

And maybe she will. I wanted her to record "Alone" by HEART for a long time. And she DID!!!!

I would absolutely LOVE a jazz record from Celine.

I Phil but this would be interesting. He is semi retired tho.

I know he is kind of retired or so, but could he not do just one song with Celine ?

I'm not sure they even sang a duet on a TV show...

She talked about him in her biography, means they know each other.

Which biography and what did she say about him?

The only thing I know they did together is take a picture.

June 30, 2015 at 06:56 PM

In my story my dream.

There is a picture of them together, and I think a comment on this picture.

Sorry I don't have the book on hand here...

I think Phil Collins was also a guest on the Tonight Show on Celine's very first appearance on American TV. I seem to recall reading something like: Phil said, "See you soon," and Celine said, "Absolutely!" I don't remember exactly, though. . .

I really don't think she's recording a new album right now with Rene ill & the revamping of the show. She's just got her hands full right now BUT I really wish she was/is!!

I hope they don't go for another pop album that they are hoping she'd have hit singles, etc. Now is the time for her to build on her recording legacy and remind the world the vocal power & finesse she has. She needs to do a concept album like standards/classic or (as I've said many times) a jazz album. She seems really comfortable with the genre and she could get the best musicians, writers, & producers in the jazz world and the album would be amazing and would blow the world away!!

Couldn't agree more. There are so many great songs she can really do beautifully.

Look at Nature Boy (which I personally think is stunning),

, Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered, The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face... all absolutely amazing interpretations.

The last English album seemed like such a waste to me, trying to forcibly get Celine to appeal to the wrong demographic. She doesn't need to prove herself and try to compete with the current crop of chart toppers. It comes off as forced and frankly, kinda desperate. There's no need for that stuff.

Amen to that, women over 40 aren't played on the radio. It's a sad reality but it's true. Celine's no exception and it looks like Sony does not want to realize that.

July 18, 2015 at 08:27 PM

Can you please add to the lyrics of some songs a little bit of 90's "baby baby baby"?? :rolleyes:

Ref. Declaration of love, Your Light, No living without love, Think twice, It's all coming back to me now... and so on.... In the 90's it was everywhere and I love it!!!! :wub:

I don't think they forced her to appeal to the younger demographic. If that was the case they would have sent LMBTL to top 40 and pushed harder for air play. I also don't think they would have included the covers if they were going for and image reboot. Celine, I'm pretty sure has a heavy hand on what songs she records. She sings what she feels like singing, and I thought LMBTL was a great album. The new songs had a nice modern sound without straying too far away from Celine's signature.

July 19, 2015 at 06:01 PM

the only thing she can do to call media attention is recording a dance full album

Madonna did it at 46 years old

Cher at 52 years old

Gloria Estefan at 40 years old and repeated by the age of 53

is time for our Celine do it

David Guetta + Stuart Price + Diplo + Avincii + Pharrell Williams

the only think i don't want is a boring jazz album, we have already tons of jazzy songs

sorry for the lovers, she is still in her 40's and she is still hot to fill the dance floors

July 19, 2015 at 07:27 PM

I agree, I don't want a "boring" jazz album either. Not now at least...

I just want a classic Celine album, sth like ANDHC would be the best!

Why?

July 19, 2015 at 10:56 PM

no dance album PLEASE!

I was listening to High on your love

And I thought .. Celine could do this easily as well.. but then again. Why should she? I rather have a classic Celine album like A new day has come, filled with some uptempo songs, popsongs, big ballads...

July 20, 2015 at 01:37 AM

I would love a dance album. Her vocals soaring over a club beat would be amazing!!!

July 20, 2015 at 07:08 AM

Yeah I'd love a killer dance album too! She has enough ballads and rock songs in her catalogue! A real dance song / album is missing! Plus she could record like four bonus tracks: four slow / acoustic versions of the dance tracks. :wub2:

July 20, 2015 at 08:07 AM

Well loved me back to life was a good step in a new direction:)

I don't think so. I think she's rehearsing for the show since she can't in the Colosseum at CP yet. You know when they put up the IDAN thing, she was "rehearsing" so that's what I thinks
