"Encore Un Soir" album - Official Topic

[Javito]

If it's for allusions, I never said D'elles is a bad album, but that I dislike it, which is something very different

19 days to go!

 

I have been loving all the hype this time around for a French album release. It is amazing the attention Encore Un Soir is receiving. It makes me so happy.

you forgot that phrase...: D'elles looked as if it had been conceived for women during those days of her period

So...? It was written by and for women. I cannot relate to most of what it says

 

Edit: by the way, just fyi, Moi quand je pleure is even more related with the period thing. That song conceals a message for girls in their pre-teens which are having those days during her first menstruations. There's even a rumor that said the song was used for a Tampax commercial somewhere...

 

Read between the lines...

i doubt that this what they were thinking when they made the album...

 

Already , when you look at the title , d'Elles versus d'Eux , it is like a wish to obtain the same succes..I can't believe that ,when they heard the album , they were thinking it was as good. Ididn't liked this part of it, because d'Eux was and still is my favorite.

 

Sorry , i,ll stay on subject now.

I was thinking of "A la plus haute branche" during a walk tonight with friends, and I did this picture.

What was the concept of 1f&4t? Unless you mean the similar sound and music style and that it was put together by a team of guys with a similar taste in music, well that's fine, but other than that... there are songs with different themes there: love, despair, Céline's husband, René-Charles, then the covers (Retiens-moi and Rien n'est vraiment fini)... There's even one song written for the wife of one of the songwriters, not Céline (Tu nages)... But that said, somehow the album flows perfectly

 

More country sound. Celine dressed as a cowgirl. Songs written by 4+1 songwriters that is also included in the title. 2 duets with them. It is not a 100% conceptual album, but it is in the direction in my opinion.

[Daysleeper]

"Tu nages" (which is one of my favorites) is also a cover originally sung by Anggun.

It is maybe not a theme which is a concept but definitely the style Edited August 8, 2016 at 08:20 AM by anewdayhascome

That is stunning, well done you, I'm thinking of getting a better camera to take some better shots....I love stars, makes me appreciate how rare we all are.

[Allysadreams]

I am so desperate for this new album! I adore the song 'La Plus Haute Branche' (still trying to find the lyrics and an english translation) I'm sure it'll be here soon enough....I've ordered a hard deluxe copy from Amazon and I've pre ordered the deluxe album from Itunes UK, that's when you know you're a fan ha ha

 

Not long guys and lets all be nice and just support our love for Celine and her music:)

This is a good translation for most part.

ALPHB is the last song of the Standard Edition of the album. Its ending phrase is ''Dis au Bon Dieu que c'est dimanche, et qu'il peut venir te chercher...'' which brings me back to her very first album (and first song on it) ''La Voix Du Bon Dieu'', not only because both songs mention the ''good god'', but also because of the reference to the word ''dimanche''. It was part of the chorus in the song ''Les Roses Blanches'' which went like ''c'est aujourd'hui dimanche...''. All this gives me the impression of a full circle! La Voix Du Bon Dieu is the first album that marks the beginning of the collaboration of Celine and Rene, while Encore Un Soir is the one that marks the end of it.

Are you serious or just sarcastic?

No really. I did not understand. How can the stores have some physical cds 17 days before the release? Are they available for selling? Call me stupid, but I do not knw how it works.

You can pre-order a copy, they don't have the physical copies in store now: they will give you your pre-ordered copy on August 26th.

That is fine. From the shape and structure of the objects, I thought the store sells the album before its release.

JNSPC is great, but nothing compared to Papillon or L'abandon

[Daysleeper]

This doesn't even look like real CDs, but some sort of cardboards. Maybe they put them on the shelves only symbolicaly until they get the real copies. Or you get one of those as a confirmation of the pre-order. I don't get it.

 

Also I don't really understand the purpose of pre-ordering in the store. Except if there is a risk that it might be sold out in very short time. You just go to the store, buy the CD the day it's released.

I guess it's a marketing strategy. This way cds, books, movies etc. can enter top-selling charts even before they're released.

Yes, I guess you are right. Everything is about making a hype. But from my perspective as a customer it doesn't really mean a lot. If they make a smaller price for pre-orders I would consider it though.

[isurrender]

There's even a rumor that said the song was used for a Tampax commercial somewhere...

 

How can it be a rumour? If it was true, I think there would be the ad out there...

 

It's simply amazing ( and funny) how french speaking people and non french speaking people perceive her french works.

 

"1F4T" and "D'elles" were conceptual, whether you like it or not. Especially the latter. The first is considered as a concept , not because of the lyrics, but for its "unplugged" sound and the way it was created, most of it was like "home made" , there were few people involved in this project. Mostly 5 people did everything.

 

I still think "D'elles" was a great project (or could have been) , a very introspective one with a good idea from the start ( to gather a bunch of only female non writers, that's quite special) , with lyrics Céline can relate to. But what works on paper came out mostly bland musically beside few songs.

 

I can understand Céline when she says she loves those 2 albums though.

 

Despite the fact that all her french albums have a specific tone, I see them as a "whole". What one of them lacks, another one has and the other way around.

 

SSDA , for example, is beautiful but it came out of nowhere. There's no background and as a whole, it's not genuine at all. First, I'm not quite sure this album would have existed if it wasn't for "D'eux" success. Then, lyrically , it goes nowhere. There's no link between the songs, that's not biographic at all. Céline singing "Zora sourit"...? Ok...? Nobody has figured it out what "Papillon" and "L'abandon" is about yet...( first you have to understand what she sings in the last one... is Mylène Farmer singing?). "Sur le même bâteau" doesn't serve any purpose and even JJG didn't want to give her that song...

"En attendant ses pas"...what a cute and lovely song but singing " While waiting for you, I paint flowers on the doors"...you can't sing that in french! hahaha

It looks like I'm bashing this album but I like it very much, don't get me wrong. But beside the highlights of it, I don't think Céline likes it more than another one. I've never heard saying a thing about it. They are beautiful songs but that's it. While she's moved with "D'elles" and is fond of "1F4T".

 

All this to say that I simply can't put her french works on a scale.

JJG didn't want to give her SLMB?? Interesting

[isurrender]

It's in the making of the album.He says that it was "too much" after the Titanic...he was a bit ashamed to give her a song telling the same story.

 

But at the beginning it was not even for Céline if I remember correctly. It was for a musical that never came to life.
