I can understand the strategy but a lyrics vidéoclip, i am sorry, but it’s very very low level. At least another vidéo like dansons would have been understandable.

This make me think she will be incognito in Paris, in a hidden place, to keep the revelation on the stage for the première. 

What do you want her to do? She's giving you new music. It's a gift. Everything she does now is a gift. There will be videos and visuals galore when she goes live in Paris. This song is for you, for me, for us. No one else. 

I'm sure she will be incognito. I want her to be. I want these shows to be the focus of global attention. "Will she actually be able to do it? Will she, or won't she?" I want that for her. I want everyone to be watching and wondering. And then I want her to step onstage and make a decisive, historical statement about who she is. I want her to make history. 

And that kind of statement is ultimately about who we are, too. Because we were the ones who never doubted her, we were the ones cheering every small triumph, we were the ones who believed in her. And what it means is we believed in something that was real, we believed in someone who actually deserved our faith. And that's the biggest gift she gives us, and it's why we're all still here: because she has it, she's the avatar of our faith in humanity. 

She is the human spirit. In this song, that is what I hear: the ability of a human being to overcome any obstacle, to mold circumstances and downfalls in her favor, to square the circle and right the world. To claim her destiny and to refute anyone who says she can't do it. To be reborn. To sing the song of time. To be the greatest singer who has ever lived. To be fully and completely herself, to be a human being. 

That is the most profound and powerful thing and it is what she is showing us right now.

I’m hoping it will improve after radio picks up the song more. Dansons started strong at #7 on French radio and then quickly went down. Hoping this one will gradually increase and stick around on the radio chart longer.

Everyone was curious about not only Celine’s return but also her collab JJG.

what I wonder is why we can’t ANY studio footage from the sessions?

Yeah hopefully. A song this good doesn't deserve to be wasted.

Oh wouah i guess you suffer from the actual heatwave too !!! I see you want a lot of things … I was just discussing on the poor quality of the work around the release of the new song.

By the way, you can’t say Céline is the greatest singer ever as no one can be compared to each other.

Of course knowing fans are expecting your comeback gives you strengh to fight and she wanted to prove herself she could do it but don’t give yourself too much importance in the life of Céline. Our support and devotion do not help when she is alone at home. So keep cool.

oh wow thats terrible, dansons did 244k and debuted at #15 in france. it even pulled over 100k on its second day.

 

Oh well, atleast the songs good i guess.

That debut is based on just one day of activity - was Dansons' first entry based on a longer duration of activity?

No. "Dansons" was released on a Friday as well.

You can’t really speak on how she feels at home. You never know if her team brings her positive feedback from social media, and whether or not that makes her want to work harder.

Celine has said many times throughout the difficult times in her life, that the fans keep her going. And I believe she’s genuine when saying that.

Dansons is #29 on iTunes Canada

If anyone has ever seen the Irish animated film The Secret of Kells, which tells the story of the creation of the 9th-century illuminated manuscript, the Book of Kells, then you might notice a similarity here.

The BMP track uses a similar mantra-like chant, and its music video has a visual atmosphere that closely resembles the film’s overall theme.

I feel that the artist might get some inspiration from the movie.

Cherie FM just played BPM at 21:26pm and earlier at 13:28pm LOCAL TIME France

[Mudo]

Hopefully she won't "Britney Spears" it and do no promo other than those 2 lyrics video and the dansons video that we don't see her in.If she wants to keep the mystery on and be incognito until her shows in September she might be doing it at the detriment of the singles' success. Plus, it's not that difficult to book a TV special on M6 or TF1 or even France 2 to get that promo going. But if she's going the EUS route, she actually did promotion to say that it's out at least and did interviews in anticipation. Here she is MIA.

Please stop saying that everything she does now is a gift. This point of view is ridiculous. She and her team earn money just through us. She doesn't do this for free. And she sells concert tickets in Paris for a very high price.

The least thing she and her team could do is put some effort and esthetic into the releases. In my opinion it's a lack of respect towards her fans to do everything so half-hearted. She is an artist. And what they do doesn't do her status justice. And it doesn't satisfy me as her long time fan. All it takes are some competent people in her team who would make better decisions. But unfortunately she doesn't have that nowadays.

😂😂😂 can you really imagine her saying «  the fans ?? 😂 I don’t give a f … »

of course not, she cannot.

what I wanted to say is that fans like us stop thinking we are one with Céline. Céline loves her fans as a whole, but she does not live for her fans, just like we don’t live for her. My answer was written towards jlolo87 expections for Céline. 

[yoyoma88]

There will be definitely more promotion a week leading to concert. We have documentary, and a new song will be released early Sep. I assume there will be interviews, proper music video, tv appearances. They are saving the budget for this.

The point of Danson was released was to let audience know that Celine is well and still sing. 

The point of BPM release to fill months of gaps between dansons and the residency so she is still creating a little buzz, building the anticipation.

Yeah I really hope so! I feel like she’s promoted her new albums less and less as recent years went by (The promo for Encore un soir was really brief in comparison to the 2013 promo for Loved Me Back To Life, not to mention the very few things she did to promote Courage). 

At this point I’m just thankful for anything she’ll release, but I do miss her giving interviews / performing on TV more often.

[Shamrock_1982]

I think it’s pretty clear her team do go to Céline about “certain” fan social media posts.

They showed her my tweet about the apple tree reference remember 😉

[Peppercorn1991]

Nice reaction:

[Shamrock_1982]

Also I get why quite a few fans on here are disappointed that she has yet to appear in one of her own music videos…

She was in London last year shooting a video for Charlotte Tilbury’s Christmas Campaign, so why not her own video as she appears to be back back now.

But ultimately it’s down to Céline and I could only imagine that she’s more focused than ever on putting on this new show and making it a success not only for us but for herself.

[Alex_Incognito]

I'm afraid her music video days are far behind  her.  evidently her record company doesn't think they're necessary. it's  been slim pickings since Loved Me back to Life.

Well... after listening to it several times, I have mixed feelings—let me break them down.
The "tunnel voice" effect has become a common industry trope in recent years, so it’s not surprising to see it used here as well. It’s reminiscent of certain songs from the *Courage* album. The impression that Céline recorded it at a slower tempo turns out to be accurate—and the song is actually more enjoyable—if you slow the playback speed from 1.00x to 0.90x (for example, on YouTube). This results in a 3:30 track (20 seconds longer than the original recording). I assume this is the song's intended original tempo.
On another note, beyond the simplistic lyrics—and the fact that we live in an era where the industry is held captive by people's widespread anxiety—I find myself wishing for a longer instrumental section, a solo, a more powerful chorus, a key change, or a bridge... Just imagine what could have been done with another minute and a half (or two) of runtime...

I tried listening it at this speed you suggested. I liked it much more! Thank you!!

Are the first day streaming numbers out? Especially compared to Dansons.

BPM has a lot of hit potential, I wish her team would promote it a bit more.

Can we only imagine an ethereal music video like that of ANDHC with beautiful hawaiian landscape in the background…

[yoyoma88]

BPM spotify stream total for Friday: 343,846 which was almost half of Dansons (650k)

That was expected, no much media coverage and no more first anticipation as the first song released by celine in years, not to mention lackluster music video.

Itunes performance has been weak too. BPM already fell to #2 in France and #3 in Canada. Whereas Dansons held #1 in France and Canada for almost a week of release. 

Let's see the second day stream result.

[mebe]

#1 on iTunes Sweden!

[ordinary fan]

Without promo that's no surprise. Maybe the songs (dansons and BPM) will rise again when the next song comes out in September and the promo is more on because the concerts take place and she will be out in public 

Maybe she will even appear on TV and so on...

[mebe]

Still #6 on iTunes Worldwide Songs Chart and #4 (+1) on iTunes European Songs Chart 

[yoyoma88]

Spotify

Day 1 BPM : 343,846
Day 2 BPM : 163,080 (-53% drop)

Total BPM : 506,926

 

Day 1 Dansons : 636,389

Day 2 Dansons: 287,973 (-54% drop)

 

I think BMP has a great hold given no promotion whatsoever
