"I Am: Céline Dion"/"Je Suis: Céline Dion" soundtrack - Official Topic

[tshlw]

I wonder if maybe Sony doesn't own the IP. I don't think they have rights to her early catalogue which could explain it.

 

So wonder who does own the early rights would think Celine or Feeling Productions? Since I thought the record company Rene started was producing those early records.

Even the reel they posted announcing this album today is an old one lol. So uncreative.

I really think Céline has a type when it comes to team members if you know what I mean

I think the early albums are a bit of a nightmare, rights-wise. That's also the only reason I can imagine for not releasing a set of her Québecois albums at some point during the heights of her success - unless they just never wanted to dilute her contemporary success with throwbacks to the earlier, cheesier material (perceived). Instead we got the many, many budget compilations that got a lot, but not all, of the tracks out there on CD.

[rfkavanagh]

BTW, for anyone particularly enjoying the score tracks, they're quite reminiscent of Max Richter - check him out if you're interested in hearing more of the same kind of instrumental material. (And more of Redi Hasa, of course!) Edited June 21, 2024 at 06:10 PM by rfkavanagh

I’m gonna assume “incompetent”?

[salsacolin]

The one benefit of this album is that (at least on Qobuz streaming service) the tracks are all in HiRes (48kbps) only Courage, LMBTL, EUS and SA are available in that quality so a few tracks like ANDHC are above CD quality 😊 which is nice

Gotta track down who owns TBS & TCR and see who owns those companies or Celine's recordings now. I would think Feeling Productions owns it especially since René was very a savvy investor who knows the value of things over time. Unidisc could be one but they haven't posted any of her music on social so I assume no.

 

*edit* Quebecor Media might still own it since Distribution Select acquired Trans-Canada (TCR) in 1980 and eventually stopping production in 1993. Distribution Select itself shut down on July 2nd 2021 due to declining sales. Maybe they did sell it to Feeling because I don't know if they've capitalized on her old records (you would think they would?)

Mama Dion is another lovely score... this and the Main Theme are the ones I'm listening the most... Edited June 21, 2024 at 07:36 PM by MaiconSC

I kind of wish the live audio of Le Blues Du Businessman at Olympia was on this album. I think it would be a great example of why people think shes has the greatest voice of all time. Although I dont think SPS is the reason she cant sing certain songs like that anymore.

 

Also why isnt the Reason on this soundtrack. They promoted the doc with the studio session so youd think they would put the song that was from...

I didn’t see the documentary yet, so we’re all the ones On the soundtrack, the ones used the most in the film? How did they go about deciding which song?

 

Not sure but it happens even in other movies. Not all songs that were part in the movie will be included in the released album. One example is the Unfinished Song movie.

[Peppercorn1991]

Kinda cool that Ashes is finally on a Celine album!!

Agreed. And I like the French songs they included. I hope this album and documentary attract new fans for Celine. And bring back some old fans.

Well they’re certainly promoting it! This is new. 👍

[LukeD]

The scores are a clear improvement from the ones in 'Love Again'. However, they are still lackluster. Not bad by any means, but not great/memorable either.

[DCCeline]

Because You Loved Me is 100% a new version because it has zero streams on Spotify. Its not linked to the regular version. Neither is ANDHC but that was more obvious judging by the edit and title.

They would promote this of all things AFTER it was probably the biggest backlash post on her social media when they announced it. Great job team Celine but baby steps I assume. Promotion period is good.

They are higher resolution (on some platforms)

Yes they are higher on Spotify but this shows how incompetant her team really is because on Spotify neither BYLM or ANDHC should have zero streams. Plenty of artist release remastered versions that arent seperated. Mariah just released Rainbow 25 last week and all the songs have differences/remastered and they are linked to the versions that were already there.

Hopefully they will group them

Do any super fans like me feel guilty now moaning about this Album? Should we not be supporting our Queen?

We can support her by watching the documentary. Her team needs to understand that soundtracks like this will consistently fail to stay on the charts at all if they don’t give us something more useful. I hope the documentary itself does well, and when she does return, I am sure that we will support her by buying tickets if possible. Edited June 21, 2024 at 10:53 PM by Abodi2002

[Philippe1984]

the Main Theme is AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL.....

 

Am I crazy, or A New Day Has Come isn't EXACTLY the Christian B Mix released in 2002?

the soundtrack version sounds more fuller, with more instruments... just like the regular album version, but edited short...

 

 

 

I thought the same!!! Maybe we’re both crazy, but i tought about Christian Mix too, but not totally the same.

The score is great, in my opinion, so it worth to be buy. I don’t think they care about the charts for this movie soundtrack Now, we’re all free to buy or not, but i still love cd’s and score so i bought both : cd and vinyl of I Am: Celine Dion and the french cover one Je Suis : Céline Dion

No. I’m separating the film from the soundtrack. If we buy the same stuff time and time again, what’s their incentive to ever give us anything new? A LOT of the same people complaining that their precious “Play Me Like A Love Song” was never released are the very ones getting pissed at us choosing NOT to give our money to another “playlist” album. Technically I’ve owned this album for decades.

I listened to the soundtrack on streaming today, and while I love that there’s a decent blend of French and English songs, the track list is bizarre and offers nothing to the devoted fans. I can honestly say I will never listen to it again. Haven’t seen the doc yet, but I will stream that many times to show my support.
