Celine Dion
One Heart

THE REVIEW

Just one year after the highly successful "A New Day Has Come", Celine Dion gifts all her admirers a new album filled with very simple songs, sung in an immediate and spontaneous way, yet no less polished.

If the previous work was already marked by the artist's shift towards genres to which radio and TV now devote their complete attention, "One Heart" upholds the intention of securing these spaces at all costs... proof of this is the album's lead single "I Drove All Night", a dance cover of a song made famous in the '80s by Cyndi Lauper and previously by Roy Orbison; the dance line continues with Reveal, while up-tempo songs include "Love Is All We Need" and "Coulda Woulda Shoulda"... atypical for the artist's repertoire, two of the most beautiful songs on the album, fresh, genuinely spontaneous: "Stand By Your Side" and "Naked", where Celine unleashes all her vocal power.
The ballads which define her repertoire are magnificently represented by "Have You Ever Been In Love", "In His Touch", "Sorry For Love" and "I Know What Love Is".

An album with a clear commercial intent then, considering that a third of the songs included have been used by Chrysler for its new advertising campaign, which certainly does not disappoint fans and will help Dion reach a wider audience, something the artist, who has sold over 150 million records worldwide, would not need at all, by the way.
