"Encore Un Soir" album - Official Topic

[Javito]

Are these photos supposed to support your argument? I don't think they do - or to quote you, they are "so wrong".

 

Miracle and Christmas albums being an exception of course.

 

I suppose you want exactly the album covers. Well, here are some. Much more creative than the album covers we got since 2007.

Even her cover for SISDA in sepia is more creative than the one we got.

Juvito just wishes we were still living in the golden years of the 90s, when albums were selling millions. It's crazy thinking Sony will invest the same money as before, having specific photoshoots, they need to optimize so I totally understand they do a big one session and then use the photos for different purposes. Sooner than later we won't even have physical albums anymore. But I like the EUS booklet and the cover is one of her best.

 

I didn't say that Please, do you think they have to spend millions to make a nice photoshoot??? There are thousands of photographers with thousands of ideas out there that would kill to take pictures of Celine, probably for 5% or 10% of what Alix Malka will have charged for those dull pictures, where Céline's face looks the same in all of the takes as if he took only one picture and cut and pasted her face on the rest.

 

There are even artists that take their own pictures based on their own ideas and concepts they have for their albums (i.e. Annie Lennox). So no, it's not a matter of living in the 90's. It's a matter of caring about the product and how it looks .

The point was not whether the photos are 'artistic' (a term that is highly subjective and I for example don't see what is artistic about someone stretched out on a chaise-longue) but whether the photos and the music match. Now, I am looking forward to the explanation of how Celine on a chaise-longue reflects the musical spirit of All the Way...

 

The artistry is the way the light falls, the location, the natural backgrounds. Here in the new photoshoots she was made young with photoshop, photographed against a white wall. That is what i mean. It is easy to photograph in a studio and photoshop her younger. That is what i mean.

So many people have the album now but no one is commenting on the songs 🤐

[LauCH]

Ok guys. So this morning a Quebec talk show called Salut bonjour made us listen to a snippet of ORDINAIRE studio version and it was pretty disappointing. I'll wait till I hear the full version but the live version is a million times better. First of all it seems like she sings it with higher notes in English (in French we say une tonalité plus haute) which is weird because she usually does the opposite : higher "tone?" On the cd and lower live??? Also, the arrangements and all reminded me of when the show must go on single came out ........ HOPEFULLY it was not the complete version because if so, I'm just hoping for a DVD release now since its just 1000000 times better live. Edited August 24, 2016 at 11:29 AM by LauCH

Finally! Thanks for explaining

[celinefanonline]

Plus Qu'ailleurs - i didn't like the preview from the making of as much but after listen to the whole song it's not bad at all!!

L'etoile - it reminds me a little of too much! uptempo song i like it!

Ma Faille - love it from the preview (making of) still love it, but have to say it could have those powerful vocal for sure but i think it really depends on the producer!

EUS - well everyone knows the song but have to say i prefer radio edit / Live version, cause the album version's ending feels a bit like it's dragging unnecessary in a way unless it's done like the live one which is alot better!

Je Nous Veu - a ballad and i actually like it alot! a good ballad from marc dupre

Les Yeux Au Ciel - uptempo catchy love it

Si C'etait A Refaire - a ballad a little bit like Si je n'ai Rien De Toi from last french album

Ordinaire - love it just like some say it's like le blues du businessman, and yes the live version it is better but the studio version is not bad too

Tu Sauras - mid- tempo got beats to it! kinda catchy too! would love to be a single! pretty pop

Toutes Ces Choses - very emotional ballad! i like it but a bit sad

Le Bonheur En Face - another nice ballad very melodic, i like it love the music it's powerful in a way (not as much on the vocal but the song itself and the music)

A La Plus Haute Branche - we all heard this song from the mini tour, i like it, it's a bit like lullaby but emotional nice to listen to!

 

someone said there's no up and down of the songs, all like kinda flat (music wise) no build up muc

well i don't know about that i actually really like this album, it's full of emotion, Celine certainly has turn the sadness into her strength and put it into the album

so overall i give this album 8 or 9 out of 10!

To Guys who already have the album,

could you post producers for each song?

[LauCH]

Do you agree with that I said on ordinaire? Am I crazy or she really sings it in a lower key? And the arrangements sounded different too?

[mirage]

I think it really depends to which version you're gettinf used to.

If she hadn't sang this live, then there would be no complaints

And it's funny you use ANDHC as proof, with this silly bendy tree. Very artistic indeed, the photographer didn't even manage to get the photoshopping right.

Ok so we can't say anything now because we complain ? You know part of being a fan of an artist is also being able to critic them. If I just say OMG AWESOME ALBUM EVERYTHING IS JUST PERFECT that makes me a real fan otherwise I'm just complaining?

No what he means is if you had never heard her sing this before .... There would be nothing to compare it with...

 

We all get used to songs a certain way.... Same for when a song is sang live it sounds weird sometimes compared to the album

Can someone add them to wikipedia

So, the Ordinare song is a part 2 of "The Show Must Go On"?, maybe this is the last song that she recorded? like The Show Must Go On? Maybe it was rushed? Edited August 24, 2016 at 12:18 PM by jpatdeleon09

We still should wait to hear it but from what I've heard on tv this morning : yes

Bravo! some people don't understand here that expressing an opinion equals blind approval of everything they do...

 

And if somebody is harsh, look at our beloved Red Heads review which is full of complaining...

It seems the public prefers Celine's strategy and that's why she sells more than Annie Lennox (I just mention her because you did). Would the "product" look better if Celine herself takes the pictures? Why do you assume so? And why do you assume Celine doesn't care about her "product" if they used those pics? Do you know for sure that session was actually not for this album itself? Maybe the idea behind was to show a happy, classy (chic as someone said) Celine. You might not like the booklet, but I don't see lack of caring at all, on the contrary, it looks like they did a good job this time.

[Xpresso]

I think Céline looks great on these pictures! Nothing to complain about!

Just remember... The Fans are her biggest critic. Of course, we want our idol to be stand out/perfect. So, please the wired mic... THAT'S GOTTA GO! lol I feel like in the future she'll get tripped with that wired mic.

Oh first time I read this. I'm so disappointed since this song is IMO one of the highlights of her show. Let's just hope for a dvd now so I can listen to the live version in HQ.

Besides the fact that the ANDHC pic is so kitsch and girlie. Well at least IMO :-)

 

EUS is so much better and actually more in line with D'Eux and SISDA.

Maybe you prefer it this way? I don't think they photoshopped the tree, but I'd rather have photoshop in a tree than in her face . Which in ANDHC wasn't, and in EUS she's photoshopped to death.

 

Alix Malka in 2016 tried to make her look as if she was 20, to the point that her facial expressions don't look like her at all.

 

Anyway, I'm not entering any war with you about this. Each one is entitled to his own opinion as long as it's respectful and I don't like the direction you are taking now with that scorn.

Honestly, I don't like this song. For me, I think Les Blues Du Businessman is better than Ordinaire

[max24]

So,

 

5 songs were produced by Humberto Gatica / Scott Price,

3 songs were produced by Silvio Lisbonne,

3 songs were produced by Zaho / Ludovic Carquet / Marie-Louise Therry,

2 songs were produced by Jacques Veneruso,

the others produced 1 song.

[Miha]

Where do u live @celinefanonline?

 

louisechf with love

with all this anticipation it sounds alomost like a threat lol

 

It's like The Walking Dead turns into Celine-maniacs...

 

Those of you lucky ones with EUS in the hands, you better watch who's walking behind you...

[mike_z]

I can't wait any longer! Still 38 hours to go!!! :cry: :cry:

 

 

Tell us guys, how would you describe her voice in the album?

crystal clear? nasal? granny voice? powerful? strained?
