New French single, "Encore Un Soir" - May 24th, 2016

[browseceline]

where i usually buy my mp3's - 7digital.com - there is the song already for download as well, in both high quality mp3 320mbps and Flac 16bit!

for a small price ( 2 euro something for the flac). And what I also like that there are no DRM restrictions in these files.

I haven't write yet anything since the whole BBMA thing started... I've been through difficult weeks, break-up, the Social Center where I spend most of the time trying to "make a better world" has been evicted today to give it to an speculator, we've been fighting for our rights and voice on the streets for many hours today... I've woke up watching the performance of the BBMA and I felt so proud of her and this thinking has crossed my mind many moments during the day... it was a great relief.

 

And now, coming back home after taking care of friends who have been hardly injured, losing fingers, knees broken and much more, this new song sounds like an angel to my hears.

 

I've only heard it once and I already love it. I don't want to play it much more because I want to wait for the HQ but it's just... flawless.

 

I mean, no words to describe how proud I feel for being fan of this incredible woman.

It's out in UK. I can't stop listening. It's a masterpiece. That guitar crescendo at the end is intense. The beginning and end of the song are totally different. There has to be an English adaptation. I reckon this will be Céline's biggest French language hit since S'il n'en restait qu'une.

why no youtube version?

why no youtube version?

It will be available on Mah 24th at 9 AM CET.

[sfbaysinger]

Yeah. I want to know that one too. I looked... Well, I finally heard t. all I can say is, wow. Damn. I would say, although a little slower, in beat, the percussion, especially in the chorus, reminds me just the teeniest slightest bit of the fast version of A Cause. I could sooooo hear the feeling/emotion in her voice, damn she is soooooooooooooo freeeeeeeeeeaking incredible. Just when I think I cannot possibly love her more, I do. Je t'aime infiniment, ma belle, incroyable, magnifique Celine!!!!!!

[Alex_Incognito]

Why does there have to be an English version? She's already done it. That would be so been there, done that.

I'd say it is an ok song. Nothing special. Not catchy or memorable at all. It sounds like worse version of Attendre or something they recorded but did not like it. I was expecting better more powerful vocals and music.

[sfbaysinger]

Alex...true, they have done it, but not in a while. How neat would it be to have the 2016 song that has both a French and English equivalent, like Je Sais Pas or something, but now instead of 20 years ago? Still, at the same time, I see your point as well. Some songs truly are better left alone, this may be one of them.

Then stick with her English career. This is gold. And it's nothing like "Attendre"

[MalaysiaCeline]

Am I the only one who exaggerating the fact that this song sound like a compact version of all her French masterpiece n combined all the essence of all the French songs into one ......maybe Celine been gone in music for so long so when she drop this French single it make my day and by hearing this song is like going thru all her French repertoire for the past decades.....I miss you Celine .....I really miss you .......and how could that be possible to wait another 3 months till august for the album to come out and 2017 for an English album to be released ? The show must go on ....so Celine the albums must go on as well don't wait and keep sharing with us your music journey .......love u

[louisechf]

Its in Sweden also, on Google play and Spotify, came out a couple of hours ago. Really like this one, how I wish they would play this on radio!!!

 

Where can I find translation to english?

 

louisechf with love

It's not supposed to be a big flashy song with a dance track!!

It's all about the lyrics, restrained vocals and melancholic melody...

A translation will never do justice to such a masterpiece.

I don't think in this instance it matters whether she's "already done it" or is trying to break new ground. Music is a universal language, but it always helps when you can naturally understand the lyrics. I love this song, but musically it's more subtle than some of her other hits, so I think it would help her reach a larger audience if the lyrical content was more widely understood.

I just listened to the song for the first time. I would give it a solid "B" rating. It is incredibly heartfelt, but I do wish the crescendo/climax would have been a tad stronger. I was expecting more "UMPH" after the silence/cool down moment. It just needed a tiny bit more "something" there for me. Other than that, "Encore un soir" is a very solid lead single for the new album.

Yes, we know this, but the average English speaking fan isn't going to read a page of translations.

[Xpresso]

This was for Louisechf who asked if there was a translation of the song...

I see where you're coming from, but I completely disagree. French is such a beautiful language and often times an English translation ends up destroying the beauty of the art. I'm sorry but if people can't understand the lyrics too bad so sad, you don't have to understand the lyrics to appreciate the beauty of the melody, phrasing, and vocals.

 

She wasn't bestowed the Legion d'honneur for translating French songs into English.....

[Alex_Incognito]

Amen, I Drove All Night.

 

Part of loving Celine is accepting she's a francophone artist. Many of us learned French just to understand her music.

Of course fans KNOW the French versions are always superior, but it helps a lot more to understand the actual lyrics when there's an actual English version. Reading a translation, however well done, just doesn't give the same effect.

 

On one hand fans complain when the general public doesn't know anything about Celine any more and on the other hand it's frustrating when so many of her best songs are never heard, much less appreciated, by the public because of the language barrier. English radio stations are not going to just play some French song, no matter how beautiful, you know. It's about broadening her global audience, that's all.

[I Drove All Night!]

Amen, I Drove All Night.

Count me in that crowd! I'm so happy she had enough of an influence on me to learn a second language... I respect her so much for continuing to stick with her roots.

well, they should make the effort, we do this a lot in french, nobody asked a translation of : my heart will go home at the time. I listen movies always in the original version with subtitles, english, spanish , portuguais, name it. Always better.

I see you've all missed the entire point, but it doesn't matter. I know French because of Celine. I just can't get anyone else to listen to her best French music though and that's a shame.

She's already cemented her status as a world-wide superstar, she has nothing to prove anymore. Whether or not the general public appreciates her French music has absolutely no affect on me. I enjoy her French work immensely and whether her songs chart or not is not going to change that....

Well then that's their loss... more for you to enjoy. That's how I look at it.

[CelinesDIVO5]

I was just saying I wouldn't be surprised if she did an English adaption because of how connected she is to the song. It's clearly the message she wanted to put forth as the lead single from her first album after Rene. It wouldn't shock me if she wanted to send this message to her English fans as well. I know that English may not be as poetic as French, but I for one think the English adaptions of PQTME and JSP are quite beautiful. They aren't your average cheesy pop lyrics and I've always been impressed by that.

[Alex_Incognito]

well, they should make the effort, we do this a lot in french,

Nothing is worse than a French/Quebecois film being made into a Hollywood movie. Look at "Dîner de cons", "Starbuck", "3 hommes et un couffin ","LOL", and now "La fille du RER". The américain ones are horrible!

well, what can you do? they don't want to. Making a translation will not help, they will lose half of it. If you can appreciate it, great for you.
