Description:
One of the biggest selling female artists ever, Celine Dion's global appeal may seem incomprehensible to some but for those who appreciate her incredible voice and epic productions she has become a legend in her own lifetime. Dion's latest English language album A New Day Has Come is to a certain extent a very apt title since many of the 17 songs are filled with new ideas (well, new to Celine) and a sound more in keeping with the current trends.

One of the biggest selling female artists ever, Celine Dion's global appeal may seem incomprehensible to some but for those who appreciate her incredible voice and epic productions she has become a legend in her own lifetime. Dion's latest English language album A New Day Has Come is to a certain extent a very apt title since many of the 17 songs are filled with new ideas (well, new to Celine) and a sound more in keeping with the current trends. Take "Rain, Tax" for example, if it weren't for the theatrical vocal it could be mistaken for a rising pop/R&B number with a heavy emphasis on the stuttering rhythm and deep bass rather than sweet strings and weighty "power-ballad drums". Another experiment is the Cher-esque (minus vo-coder) "Sorry For Love" complete with pumping rhythm section and house pianos which is still very much Celine but not likely to ravage any dance floors across the land. But still, A New Day Has Come is still very much traditional vocal led pop-rock, heavy on the ballads, like the title track and lead single, with silky orchestration and enormous sounding drums complementing the theatrical presence of her voice in a style modern day easy listeners like Westlife will never match. --Georgina Collins
