New album early 2006?

[Nando Férri]

I want another GREAT Album too, but I do not think Celine will promote it much more than she has been doing for the last couple of albums.    She is under a Contract a Caesar's Palace so that is her first priority....plus she has a family now so I do not think we will see a huge promotion.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Having a family doesn't mean you cannot do your work. Many other artists have family but they do their work. She could do a great promotion, if she wants. Let's wait & see what will happen soon.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

YOU ARE SOOOOOOOOO DAMM RIGHT!!! I'm with you!

[Céline's Blues]

NONONONO!!!

 

why cant she just wait till 2007... and come up with something really good...

i dont think anyone is really dying for an album now...

 

i must say after Mariah's recent and Madonna's (being optimistic/realistic?)impending success, i want celine to spawn a HUGE hit... i am so sick of obscure albums that hardly crack the top 5....

I must say I honestly don't think THIS is the right way of thinking about Céline. Do we really need to compare her to those asrtists? Céline has her own music and her own ideas concerning the new album and most of all - SHE DOESNT NEED A HIT. I have no idea about ppl wanting her score another hit. I ask myself then if you actually looked into recent chart statistics and saw what songs REALLY are hits? Do you seriously and wholeheartedly want Céline to record a trashy RNB duet with Amerie or have an orgasm in a video with Jay-Z or another soulles rapper that will make Céline squeak like one of these sluts on MTV? Do you seriously believe that a classy woman like her would go THAT low just for the sake of having a hit? That is very improbable and she should definitely not adapt any further to the current music buisness. The current music buisness is NOT Céline Dion, Céline Dion should have her own quality and standards, no, I ain't talking about ballads but about her actual standards in pop, ballad, rock-influenced music. She should make use of this and not of Sony's "most popular music record in 2004" report.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

I see your point there, I really do. And of course not, we do not want a "slut" as you preffer to call it! But it would be somewhat fun if she took a risk and worked together with a contemporary hip hop r&b professional, who knows what he/she's doing. For one track though or ep. Don't get me wrong, R&B and hip hop is certainly NOT my cup of tea, but it would be fun to see the results of that....

 

Makin a hit these days doesn't need to be a result of taking your clothes off and go mainstream. If so how did James Blunt make it, and Norah Jones?

Making a hit is more of A) doing something that is extremely mainstream and a bit new creative and with a huge attemt to please the market doing something new and fresh with a mixture of the secure grounds (not too big part though, David Foster is no option ) Dido is an exellent example of this, so is Robbie Williams... You have to be willing to explore and take a risk but in the mean time have self respect and say no when it gets out of hand and you loose the artist in the work and the result is mainly a product of the producer... Ballance...

 

And what I think is the deal here is that sometimes there have been done a few mistakes going out trying new stuff and thereby getting lost coz it aint perhaps her thing. A few examples (Rain Tax, Treat Her Like A Lady, One Heart). And somethimes she's walked the safe path on secure ground (Miracle, Then You Look At Me) and the result is good but not interesting. I say it's better to take the risk and fail sometimes than stand with both feet inside looking out through the door and never getting outside. There has been tracks that have suceeded very very well with this recipe I talk about: That's The Way It Is, If Walls Could Talk, A New Day Has Come (radio edit), I Drove All Night, Contre Nature, My Precious One.So keep makin them and take one foot out of the door...!

 

What I fear the most personally is what I have mentioned before in reviews of new material: is that they all seem so RUSHED THROUGH. It is tempo in production and you as a listener can feel it. There are "intro verse verse refrain verse refrain refrain outro..." And yea that is a familiar consept but they're loosing a few crusial parts: instrumental solos and bridge.. Listen and you will find what it is that makes those new good tracks seem a bit incomplete. Je Ne Vous Oblies Pas, In His Touch, Stand By Your Side, Dance With My Father, Tout Les Secrets are great examples! Good production but something is missing. If they were radio edits they were ok, but not as album versions... I can understand Céline not having too much time but the production doesn't have to be cut for that? I mean instrumentals and such is nothing they do when she's around???

 

So something rushed through is what I fear and that is the main reason why I no longer want her to do a jazz album in a near future...

 

 

I already told you she wasplanning an album. I just only wish it ain't a duet album with Britney and Justin and Jessica and The Cheeky Girls.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

...or maybe a duet with Crazy Frog.

 

BTW, I'd like a duet with Justin as first single. It would bring her to the top of the worldwide charts the day after its release. And it would let young people appreciate her music.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Duet with crazy Frog wouls be sick. :evilsmiley:

 

Anyway I wouldn't have anything against a duet with Justin IF I actually knew for sure that it will be something really special - not just another RNB song out there. But it is improbable since anyway it has been recorded long ago, it won't be considered anyway.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Who are Cheeky Girls? And as for young people they had One Heart

 

What do you mean with "wont be considered anyway"??

 

/fred

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

First of all, here are the Cheeky Girls:

 

http://www.brenteck.com/cheeky-girls/images/shoes.jpeg

 

Secondly I also agree with what you said, Fred but you have to remember that Céline's record history = wasted record history. Cherche Encore, Dreaming Of You, Refuse To Dance, Us you could also very well put into the "wasted can category". It's not like Sony's been choosing the right way since day 1. The point here they need a doubke reality check here and the awarness that they're working with Céline Dion, not with Jessica Simpson or Jennifer Lopez.

 

I for one don't think they sound all that rushed... you have always to be careful while using this word about Céline, the woman that recorded SISDA in 6 days and 1F4T in 2 weeks, OH in 2 hours LOL - no, kidding haha What I mean is that time ain't a factor here. Would you ever guess she recorded "Quand On S'aime" at 3 am? She is a superwoman and if only treated with the right material she can shine like the brightest star with an amazing album recorded in one week. What she needs is the right guidance and she won't get it neither from Rene nor from Sony's managament team.

 

As far as the jazz album is concerned - she's said recently a new French album is two years away anyway so we will wait for it a lil. AND I bet it will be something jazzy.

 

Oh and the duet with Justin - IF the rumour was right it's been recorded long ago so I highly doubt they will release it now that she stated she wants to experiment a lil with the new English release.

[anewdayhascome]

i just say that she will do new english album for sure....

but i think it will be march or may because we have had A Celine's Autumn 3 versions of album that i want to get, JNVOP single, ONCP dvd and for keeps... i don't think that nwe album will be in march but i think it will be in lately Spring or early Summer for sure not Autuumn because she also said that she will record until her shows in 2007 also a french cd... i hope that it will be in March or May:)

Wait two sec! Chill. Rewind. I did not say Céline sounded rushed! Her performances is brilliant, especially on the studio recording of Dance With My Father... but the PRODUCTION (the construction of the track, the instrumenatls, outros, intros) are rushed through - and I see no need for that. I makes no sense: if anyone would be in a need to rush it would be Céline with her schedual, but she doesn't sound rushed through it is the arrengements around her. And that's what's really odd, since they dont really need Céline's presence to make an instrumental solo or add a longer outro... - The Reason, that's a great example of good production!

 

Do you get what I mean?

 

 

And Quand On S'Aime is AMAZING!!! - why didn't this track ride along on ONCHP, when MNF did?

I think Celine should do like what she did before, take a long break while having Rene Jr. and came back with A New Day Has Come. I think she should have the baby first and come back with a bang. About the oscar, don't singers have to sing in a movie to win an Oscar?

Like it or not, new English album in 2006 is somewhat of a fact now.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Definitely. It'll be 3 years now since a regular album release. 3 years which is long enough for an English release.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

dang...i forgotten it was already 3 years since a regular album okay...that album must come out then! and Sony better do some promotion! i don't even see promotions for Celine's albums after her hiatus

 

I think Celine should do like what she did before, take a long break while having Rene Jr. and came back with A New Day Has Come. I think she should have the baby first and come back with a bang.    About the oscar, don't singers have to sing in a movie to win an Oscar?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

well yes they do...so i'm hoping one of Celine's songs will be a theme song of a movie that will be a hit!

[Krys]

dang i didn't know Quand On S'aime was recorded at 3am! Celine is a superwoman!!!! go Celine!

[Céline's Blues]

Oh, and Fred, I agree - IF Céline's new album will be HALF as good as Robbies newest CD, I'm sold.

[anghil5]

Great news!

 

A new album will be great! I can't wait! I hope it's all new songs!

 

And a baby....I knew that already....but good for her, and I'm so excited for her!

[Mozinha]

I just hope Celine takes her time for vacation in February because she deserves it and I think that YES her family MUST come first. You can kill me by saying this but I consider family is the most important thing.

And for the album I just hope one thing: that she enjoys doing it as she has been enjoying doing all her albums, especially the french ones. That's what counts the most.

[Nando Férri]

Family always come first. But it's not because she works 5 days of the week (90 minutes for day), that she can't make a VERY GOOD QUALITY album, and maybe travel in her holidays to promove that, to bring her new songs to her true public... We, simple mortals... we know what is work 5 days for week (sometimes 6 days), 8 hours for day, and still give to your family the attention tha is needed... and sometimes it's not even the work of your dreams... Edited October 27, 2005 at 07:13 PM by Nando Férri

[VinnyT.]

yeah I agree with u Nando,for sure family it's the first thing.but it's not the main thing.you can't live only for farmily.or if you want to,you can't choose being in showbiz.i appreciate both celine as artist and as woman.and as artist she should satisfy fan's requests.don't get me wrong:I'm not complaining.but I think that if she wants she can do a good album, a good promotion as she did in the past.many singers,actress,and also regual women have family,but they do work.i really hope she will take a long break (at least 3-4 months) from vegas before having her last year there, so she can do a good promotion for her next english album.

[Nando Férri]

Yeah Vinny! Was it that I said! She needs to know how to put family at one side, and her work at another... And I agree totally that as an artist, she should satisfy fan's requests. You are 100% right!

[Mozinha]

I think it was clear by now that Celine is a woman/wife/mother above all. As she has been saying for the last 4 years, that's what she is above everything.

I see many people having unrealistic expectations here.

Yes, she can do a great album, won't take her much time. But she will do what she likes to do. I don't recall hearing her saying anything about jazz album. If she did, tell me when and where.

Yes she can do promotion like she did in France. Don't expect more than that. Don't expect her going around the world for promotion. She is not doing it anymore. I'm not making this up, that's what she told 2 or 3 weeks ago in France. Check out my translations or listen to the audio files if you understand french.

And no, she don't have to satisfy the fans everytime and everything they want because as she has told so many times before, both in english and french: music is not everthing in life for her anymore, she has other reasons to live.

And the thing is: face it... this is Celine now. Take her like this, there's no other choice.

Edited October 27, 2005 at 09:24 PM by Mozinha

[tativale]

I think you forgot that she worked A LOT in the pass... and her desires (wishes) are not the same anymore.

She can't please all her fans -- that's a fact. She now DOES what she want to do, what she feels like doing, waht is really SHE. That's the point. If she thinks about all the fans request she would go crazy.

She will do what she feels like .. not what we want.

[VinnyT.]

I don't think I have unrealistic expectations. I just expect her doing things other singers do (in terms of promotion). Nothing out of the human potential. She can do it whether she is a mother/woman/wife or not. She is still a singer and she is still in the showbiz, isn't she?

 

Yes, she can do a great album, won't take her much time. But she will do what she likes to do. I don't recall hearing her saying anything about jazz album. If she did, tell me when and where.

If I'm not wrong she mentioned she'd like to do jazz in an interview in a polish magazine. But I don't care: I will accept everything she wants to do.

 

Yes she can do promotion like she did in France. Don't expect more than that. Don't expect her going around the world for promotion. She is not doing it anymore. I'm not making this up, that's what she told 2 or 3 weeks ago in France. Check out my translations or listen to the audio files if you understand french.

She told that she won't do worldwide promotion or at least a promotion as the one for ANDHC? I missed it. Could you please tell me in which interview she mentions this. And BTW I think that if she can't do promo, please, do not release any album anymore. I respect her choice.

 

And no, she don't have to satisfy the fans everytime and everything they want because as she has told so many times before, both in english and french: music is not everthing in life for her anymore, she has other reasons to live.

And the thing is: face it... this is Celine now. Take her like this, there's no other choice.

I don't expect her to live for music but she should take 3 months on 12 to satisfy fans when she releases an album. It's not so hard to do it. I don't have absurd requests and I don't want her to sing 365 days per year on TV and shows.

 

[Mozinha]

She told in an interview, I don't remember exactly which was that she can't tour the world because of her son. She even gave the example of going to Japan to promote an album and all the things she would have to do and leave at the hotel her son without her.

But this is not exactly news, she has been telling that there won't be anymore touring for ages.

 

 

The point is: she could do anything now. She could tour the world for promo, she could tour the world for concerts, she could do it all again. But the fact that she could doesn't mean that she will do it. And doesn't mean that she wants to. And she clearly doesn't want to.

 

How many times she has been telling since 2002 that she wouldn't go back and start her carreer? How many times she has been telling she doesn't want to prove herself anymore? How many times she has been saying she only wants a stable life for her family?

 

She doesn't want great big huge travelling anymore. She doesn't want to live all that crazy life she had in the past. I don't know about her going on a promo tour like for ANDHC but it's so unlikely. Of course, this is just my opinion here, not a fact but I see it as very very unlikely.

 

This is not about us, not about what we want and what we dream. And I'm afraid so many fans will be disappointed because of lack of promo... and imagine if she never records a jazz album... (hey, I like jazz to but I see it as pretty unlikely for her to record one).

 

People say: I can't hear Celine talking about her son anymore... omg why doesn't she talk about her music?

Isn't this the biggest sign for all of us to understand what she cares about the most?

This is not the same Celine as 6 or 7 years ago. The more her son grows the more she will want to be there for him and the less she will want to travel... I think we have to get used to the fact that this is not the same Celine anymore. She's been like this for 4 years, we've all seen it. she could do so many things, she could have promoted her album in so many european countries and even Quebec but she didn't do it because of her family vacation counted more.

I think we just have to face it: this is Celine now...

[VinnyT.]

She told in an interview, I don't remember exactly which was that she can't tour the world because of her son. She even gave the example of going to Japan to promote an album and all the things she would have to do and leave at the hotel her son without her.

But this is not exactly news, she has been telling that there won't be anymore touring for ages.

Oh, I recall the interview. Surely I don't expect her to travel in Japan, I didn't expect it for ANDHC, too. She would need it, 'cause sometimes I read "How come she didn't sell records in Asia anymore?". I don't care about this. I was not talking about this, actually.

 

And about leaving her son in the hotel, if she said that she lied: on October 2002 when she came in Italy for Operazione Trionfo she left RC in Paris with Linda. Maybe she did that many times and RC was younger than today. So, he needed more attentions. Maybe she knows when she could do it, and when not.

 

The point is: she could do anything now. She could tour the world for promo, she could tour the world for concerts, she could do it all again. But the fact that she could doesn't mean that she will do it. And doesn't mean that she wants to. And she clearly doesn't want to.

...and what about the tour she announced for the "after-Las Vegas"? If she doesn't want to tour, she doesn't want to tour at all. It has no sense not having willing of touring and then choosing to tour France (or Europe). I think it's the same level of stress. And for sure I didn't expect a worldwide tour, as she accepted to perform in Vegas since 2003. It was clear she didn't want to tour worldwide.

 

How many times she has been telling since 2002 that she wouldn't go back and start her carreer? How many times she has been telling she doesn't want to prove herself anymore? How many times she has been saying she only wants a stable life for her family?

Oh, if so she should stop performing in Vegas and stop releasing records. If you choose only a family-life, you should retire and dedicate your entire days to the family. BTW, in 2002 she said during Domenica In that she is not the only mother in the showbiz so she can keep on her music career, even if she is a mother. She doesn't need to prove anything to anyone anymore. So, it's normal she won't prove herself anymore. We know who she is. And that why we want to see her at least on TV, singing her new single, having some interviews... As a fan, I'd like to listen to her single on the radio, watching her videoclip on TV. I'd like to say to my friends: "that's my Céline, that's her song...". If these things won't happen, we will finish talking ONLY about her husband, her son, her being a mother, her being a wife... I appreciate her sense of family, don't get me wrong. I'm "italian".

 

She doesn't want great big huge travelling anymore. She doesn't want to live all that crazy life she had in the past. I don't know about her going on a promo tour like for ANDHC but it's so unlikely. Of course, this is just my opinion here, not a fact but I see it as very very unlikely.

...on the contrary I think it would be very very unlikely if she won't promo her next english album at least as she did for ANDHC. I don't want her career to finish. If she won't promote her album, she will flop, and media will distroy her definetly. I don't want this to happen. It could break my heart.

 

This is not about us, not about what we want and what we dream. And I'm afraid so many fans will be disappointed because of lack of promo... and imagine if she never records a jazz album... (hey, I like jazz to but I see it as pretty unlikely for her to record one).

I don't care about a jazz album. Whatever she will do I will accept it, as I said before. Even a little promotion, the one she did for ANDHC for me is enough.

 

People say: I can't hear Celine talking about her son anymore... omg why doesn't she talk about her music?

Isn't this the biggest sign for all of us to understand what she cares about the most?

I like her talking about her family, but I don't like her talking ONLY about it.

Isn't she a singer? Well, interviewers expect an interview from a singer. That's normal. That's why I think she should not release anything if she doesn't want to talk about music with the media. Press will be sick of her, soon. And they won't be wrong.

 

This is not the same Celine as 6 or 7 years ago. The more her son grows the more she will want to be there for him and the less she will want to travel...  I think we have to get used to the fact that this is not the same Celine anymore. She's been like this for 4 years, we've all seen it. she could do so many things, she could have promoted her album in so many european countries and even Quebec but she didn't do it because of her family vacation counted more.

I think we just have to face it: this is Celine now...

I know she is not the same Céline. Now she is a mother. Things changed.

I may say Vegas is her biggest mistake, 'cause that's the reason why she prefers vaction to promotion. That's normal if you perform 5 days a week. I approve her in this. So let's see after Vegas or in a probable long break during 2006 what will happen...

[Mozinha]

Well, I think you get my point.

Only time will tell what will happen.

And all I can wish is that: Celine will take all the time she wants for herself and for her family. I hope she does only the promotion she feels like, 1 month or 1 day is ok for me as long as she is ok with it. Because that's what counts the most for me is her being happy and balanced. I hope she will remain this cool mother passionate mother she is and that she will speak her heart all the time about whatever she wants no matter what the press thinks. I hope everything she will do, she will do it thinking about herself and her family.

These my fan priorities!

[fred]

Ok, a lot of talk about how Céline should live her life and spend her time. Some of you speal like you'd be he lawyer It's nice to see people debate and care but don't forget she's her own person we don't know her that well even though we sometimes feel like we do.

 

Jazz album or no jazz album I don't care, that's not the main thing.

 

I wouldn't be too worried about Céline not gonna give out albums anymore. She's an artist and an artist need to express themselves.

 

Whatever she does now in 2006 I have a positive feeling about it. I think she's gonna explore more, perhaps more edge, new sounds... We shouldn't worry so much about a OH sequal, but not expect a ANDHC 2 either. Well that's just my guesses so... we'll know sooner or later...

 

But one strong guess is she's planning something including an English version of IBIY, so perhaps a duets album then...

 

And BTW folks: wouldn't it be thrilling and amazing if Céline experimentet a little more with arabic an oriental sounds?! I mean, take a listen to the track Nadine to...what's it called again?! and the vocal warm ups we heard from Mircale - so amazing! Imagine!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Celine doesn't only work 90 minutes a day. she needs to go out from home at about 4pm or earlier, and come back home at 2am or even later. she needs to do sound check, meet fans... she has many things to do everyday. she's working very hard. she is not a women who get paid a lot for some very easy job.

 

Yes she can do promotion like she did in France. Don't expect more than that. Don't expect her going around the world for promotion. She is not doing it anymore. I'm not making this up, that's what she told 2 or 3 weeks ago in France. Check out my translations or listen to the audio files if you understand french.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

didn't she just said how much she miss the stage when she was in France? I think she told she'd like to have some tour in France or Euro after 2007.

I know music is not everthing in life for her anymore. but it's always in her blood. and when RC grow up, he won't need her mom as much as now. all boys don't like their mom being around all the time. Celine won't be exceptional. so she'll have more time to do music.

 

I may say Vegas is her biggest mistake, 'cause that's the reason why she prefers vaction to promotion. That's normal if you perform 5 days a week. I approve her in this. So let's see after Vegas or in a probable long break during 2006 what will happen... 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I don't think Vegas is a mistake. I think it's a brilliant choice both for business and her life. it gives her a steady life while still on top of entertainment industry.

 

 

 

I don't care about Jazz album at all. I think Jazz is boring. but if Celine make one I will listen to it. I want a rockish or arabian or asian style album more. BTW, I always think Celine would sound amazing in a Gothic Rock album.

[Nando Férri]

I'm with Vinny again. If she can't give a little bit more of her to her fans... If she can't do a good promotion anymore, please, don't make anymore albuns, because is this that a SINGER must do...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

I remember way back, right after she had RC, when she was on Oprah and how she mentioned that she wouldn't be doing alot of the things she used to do. She talked about how family was more important now, more than music, but how music was still apart of her. I actually got upset and disappointed to the point where I kinda lost interested in Celine after she left for Vegas. For the past 2 years I wasn't all about talking about Celine anymore. But little by little I came to accept her reasoning behind the choices she has made since Rene's birth.

 

Weather there is a huge promotion, no promotion in 2006, I will always be a fan of Celine herself and her music. If there is no more music from Celine, I will never stop being fan. But I agree if you want to still make music while having a family. You should balance it, and give back something to the fans. To me, this does not have to be anything spectacular.

 

I think Celine is at a point in her life where she feels she doesn't need to do anything amazing to prove herself to the fans who will, no matter what, buy her cd's anyway. Celine, Sony, and Rene knows that matter what she releases will do well on the charts. We are all fans here, some of us for many years, do you think doing a big promotion, or little promotion is really going to matter if her cd sells or not? The mere mention of her name makes people's heads turn, that says alot in todays music. People want to be like her, sing like her, and have her career, what else more do you want.

 

Celine has said many times that she doesn't do any of this for money. I believe her, but there are others out there who probably feel as though they can no longer make money from her "type of music". In this case, I agree, that a "decent" promotion would be great, but I won't be disappointed if there isn't one. I don't think she needs to prove herself to us, her fans, but it wouldn't hurt to speak up and tell Sony that she would like to have another great album. But, then again, that goes back to what Celine wants, which I'm guessing is to just make an album the "diehard fans" will buy and enjoy. Clay Aiken is a good example of how a good promotion can get albums of "his type of music" sold. His album has sold millions and is similiar to Celine's "style". But he managed to sell millions of his "type of music" while others were listening to R&B, Rap, and the like.

 

To sum it up, it's all about what Celine wants, and in which case I'm thinking an album her fans can all appreciate, weather they flash ads for it all over tv, she sings the hit single all over Jay Leno, etc. or not.

I hope Celine will give us a new album soon.

 

But I hope too, she will taking time enough for creating a really good album. Better not the kind of album like "One heart". Sure, on OH she sang great songs too (I find "naked" one of her best commercial songs ever) - but the full album with all the reprises had not the magic of her albums in the '90ies.

 

Why not...

...trying new styles? Some jazz-songs for example or maybe some serious sacral songs (for example like Z. Preisner wrote it for French filmes like "la double vie de Veronique", "Bleu" etc.) - so she will win new fans (and maybe good critics)?

...singing again the film-sondtrack of a commercial film (an efficient way to promote a new album, specially with her contracts with her show in L.V.

...singing 2, 3 powerballads againg for her "old" fans like me. I know, critics will hate her for singing this kind of songs, but lots of people are expecting sad ballads... Thats her label, her singnature...

 

These are only my ideas, that's only my personal taste...

 

Sorry my bad English!

I'm with Vinny again. If she can't give a little bit more of her to her fans... If she can't do a good promotion anymore, please, don't make anymore albuns, because is this that a SINGER must do...

I remember way back, right after she had RC, when she was on Oprah and how she mentioned that she wouldn't be doing alot of the things she used to do. She talked about how family was more important now, more than music, but how music was still apart of her. I actually got upset and disappointed to the point where I kinda lost interested in Celine after she left for Vegas. For the past 2 years I wasn't all about talking about Celine anymore. But little by little I came to accept her reasoning behind the choices she has made since Rene's birth.

i totally agre with you!

[kdw123]

I am very excited about a new English Album. And I would love a big promotion, but if she cannot I understand. I just want to hear some new songs...no repeats please. The only repeat that I would enjoy would be a radio edit of I Surrender and then release it as a singe...but I don't think that will ever happen.

[AllCeline]

This is way too cool news! I hope she releases a new album early next year! I so can't wait!

 

BTW, I hope some of us are not loosing faith in Celine.

[VinnyT.]

I really think that "I believe in you" full english version will be on her next english album!on ONCP was just a bonus track! and i think she had already recorded the english version of "tous le secrets" and dont forget about "sabes como es el amor"spanish version of "have u ever been in love"..i really think she already has tracks for a new album!
