It's 25 years since Celine Dion won Eurovision with Ne partez pas sans moi. Since then she's been having due different careers in French and in English; different productions, songs and even style, I'd say. Occasionally, but very rarely those two meet. This ads to the fact she was also a child star and when Eurovision came it was a bit of an ultimatum and deal breaker; or she wins or it's over.... She won, walked into Berlitz school of languages in Quebec and the rest is history as they. Over 200 million albums sold worldwide speak louder than she sings.
She's has just released her 11th studio album in English, Loved me back to life, the first one in six years. As usual for a global star of her caliber it's filled with collaborations (duets with Stevie Wonder and Ne-Yo to start with) and songs picked from the finest in the industry. The first single is the title track Loved me back to life, and other songs like Somebody loves somebody, and Water and a flame, album's original title track. Some controversy was caused by its writer Daniel Merriweather and it's demo singer Adele (or something like, not quite sure about all the details) causing the delay of albumäs originally planned release this spring already.
Who would have thought that this girl would become such a star? Even at this point.....
