Unreleased songs

[Abodi2002]

I wonder if they still have the intention to release this song “Play Me Like A Love Song”…… or it will be part for the next English Album? Or in the vault? Waiting for someone can get it and sell it on eBay for $10,000

Personally I believe if that song was ever planned to be released it would’ve happened by now, I think it will be one of many things that stays in the vault

Somehow I believe that this song was intended to be released (think of how they proudly posted the clip on Instagram), even Humberto Gatica said that it’s coming soon! But they must have changed their plan for some reason. I wonder why

According to Hollywood rumors it’s because they decided to use Billie Eilish’s song in No Time To Die and had to can Celine’s contribution

 

But those are just rumors. Makes sense though, why else would they purge such a wonderful song

Amazing to hear this!

[Davey84]

Guys listen here... from 3.40!! Credits go to Mirage not me...

 

 

Such a shame that she hasn't done anything with this song, if she was still singing it 2 years later!

Great catch Mirage. It is a shame, just think of all the unfinished songs she probably started but never finished.

[MaiconSC]

and she must have so much more than what she has showed... I hope someday she finds the courage to release one song by herself

Well I’m not a fan of what we’ve heard of that song, so I don’t mind the fact that it was never released. Not only does it sound super old, instead of having that timeless sound that all of Céline’s best works have, it’s also too sad for my liking.

Here’s a snippet from “Star Spangled Love”, the unreleased track from the “Courage” sessions that was mentioned earlier on this topic.

the tone in the tone in Star Spangled Love though…

[jpatdeleon09]

I don’t know but i like her voice here. It reminds me of 2003ish combined with the 2016 yodeling era

Agreed. Sounds horrendous.

True, and now we know why…

Yeah it’s actually not that unpleasant here for some reason, there’s a warmth to it.

I think Celine should do like Van Gogh's Ear, who released an album: ''Más guapa'', which contained demos, unreleased songs...

I would love this

I wish Celine or her children or her team read that idea and made it

I think it's none of them who take decisions regarding releases. It's all about Sony/ Columbia/ Epic of whatever. And I don't think they even think about it

How come when they released an anniversary edition for D'eux we got demo's and that tv special?

 

It's not that they don't have anything.

Oh they have a lot, and D'eux was a major album. It was the perfect occasion to release something " new" with old material. Just like those films we saw twenty times but that are broadcasted every year, because it's not risky for tv than propose new films that may not encounter success.

 

I guess if tracks are not released, most of the time, is that quality was not as good as expected or were not coherent with the global project of the album. That's the case of One Heart. We all know now that was all the unreleased track from A new Day has come. It was one song after another without any global project behind it.

 

I guess it wouldn't relevant to release old tracks that do not reflect Celine of today, or if they do if will be some bonus tracks at the end of a new album.

 

By the way, when we look at the entire discography of Celine, I just wonder if another artist have ever released so many official " Best Of " as Celine :

 

Du soleil au coeur,

les oiseaux du bonheur,

Les plus grands succes,

Les chansons en or,

Vivre

All the way, ( even if you have some new tracks is mainly a best of,

Tout en amour The collector's series,

On ne change pas

My Love

Un peu de nous / the best so far

I am Céline Dion ( if you don't considered the interludes)

Oh for sure! Britney Spears released a greatest hits compilation after every album!

 

Not to mention local / regional releases

I didn't know that

Creo que ninguno de ellos es el que toma las decisiones con respecto a los lanzamientos. Se trata de Sony / Columbia / Epic de lo que sea. Y no creo que ni siquiera piensen en ello

 

I know well how a record label of Sony Music works, and I can tell you that the decisions regarding the music are made by the artist, and the record label decides whether or not to release it. In other words, Sony has the final say, but even so, if Celine read this, she could tell the label her desire to release an album of that nature, and they would listen to her, much more than they would to us as fans. We are only a minority, compared to people who are not fans of Celine, that is, who only listen to the singles... It would not be very profitable for a star like Celine to release an album with demos or unreleased songs, for so few fans. She may have thousands of fans, but compared to the general public, it is not profitable, because they will not want to buy it because they are not as big fans of Celine as we are.

[Gicedi]

Well, they blocked the video of "The first time ever i saw your face" from the channel Celine Dion Greece, the sane video that they uploaded to the official channel a little later!

The next day they blocked the "Play me like a love song" video!!

Maybe this means something...! I hope it does!

You are probably right but people who are not as fan as we are do not buy the same "best of album" every year . We do, because it's a new edition with most of the time new cover pictures etc. So releasing best of cost fewer money Than new album, knowing that it will be sold anyway to fans !!!

 

But regarding artistic decisions, I remember Celine saying in interview she sings to songs she likes among those that are proposed to her. Then the producing team choose the ones that sound better or are the most coherent for the album. She said that she was not involved in the design of the album, nor the title of the songs. If I remember well she said this during "Sans attendre" promotion.

 

So I don't think she will go to Sony and says " I want this and this". She has a contract that include the release of a certain numbers of albums. When it's done, contracts are renegociated regarding rentability of the previous albums.

Because it's show business we tend to think it's about emotions, please the audience, etc ( I remember a comment on Facebook saying she "gave her life to us" Amen ! ). First of all it's about money and singers are products to make money. The most successful the "product" is, the more money it will bring.

 

But we still,( I do ) dream of hearing old vintage unreleased jewels

[CélineI'mAlive]

Probablemente tengas razón, pero la gente que no es tan fan como nosotros no compra el mismo "mejor álbum de" todos los años. Lo hacemos, porque es una nueva edición con la mayoría de las veces nuevas fotos de portada, etc. Por lo tanto, lanzar el mejor de los cuatro costó menos dinero que el nuevo álbum, sabiendo que se venderá de todos modos a los fanáticos !!

 

Pero en cuanto a las decisiones artísticas, recuerdo que Celine dijo en una entrevista que canta canciones que le gustan de las que le proponen. Luego, el equipo de producción elige las que suenan mejor o son las más coherentes para el álbum. Dijo que no estuvo involucrada en el diseño del álbum, ni en el título de las canciones. Si mal no recuerdo, lo dijo durante la promoción de "Sans attendre".

 

Así que no creo que vaya a Sony y diga "quiero esto y esto". Ella tiene un contrato que incluye el lanzamiento de un cierto número de álbumes. Cuando está hecho, los contratos se renegocian con respecto a la rentabilidad de los álbumes anteriores.

Debido a que es el mundo del espectáculo, tendemos a pensar que se trata de emociones, complacer a la audiencia, etc. (recuerdo un comentario en Facebook que decía que "nos dio su vida" ¡Amén!). En primer lugar, se trata de dinero y los cantantes son productos para ganar dinero. Cuanto más exitoso sea el "producto", más dinero aportará.

 

Pero todavía soñamos con escuchar viejas joyas inéditas

de la vendimia

 

Yes, Celine really does have a contract with the record company, and she’s signed to produce X albums per year or over X years. She’s the one responsible for making them—along with her team—but she presents them to the record company, and the company decides whether to release them or not, depending on whether they like them. Anyway, I have a friend who’s a singer at Sony Music. I’ll see if I can write to her and ask...

I think you misunderstood me—it’s true that Celine and her team handle everything you mentioned, but their final work is presented to Sony, who decides whether to release it or not…

I’m studying Economics, and analyzing Celine's demand, I find it unlikely that unreleased old songs or demos will be published, at least in physical format. Crunching the numbers, it’s not very profitable...

If you look at All The Way, almost all the songs on that album are commercial and more well-known to the general public. I highly doubt that people who aren’t true fans of Celine would know songs like Valse adieu or Comme Un Coeur Froid.

Yes, but it could be the case that they read it and told their mother or Celine's record company, and that Celine would do something. You already know how Celine is, maybe she could do that favor to please us fans

 

And thinking about it, I don't think Celine even realized that we want an album with outtakes and demos...

 

You already know what Céline is like... Do you think she wasn't going to spoil us with an album of those characteristics? We know very well his kindness and his affection towards his fans... Maybe it's that the record company won't let him...
