Product Description
From Amazon.com
Doubters who expect little from Celine Dion but turgid ballads will be surprised by her return to recording after several years. On A New Day Has Come, the big production numbers most associated with the Canadian superstar's name ("My Heart Will Go On," "Because You Loved Me") are evoked by the two versions of "I Surrender" and somewhat lifeless covers of "At Last" and "Nature Boy." At the same time, though, Dion shows her willingness to stretch on the classic-house homage "Sorry for Love" and the unavoidably catchy "Right in Front of You" and "Ten Days." The album's unexpected, often low-key production allows Dion to emote in a straightforward way that gracefully skirts the chest thumping of past days, and the relative subtlety works in her favor. Still, New Day will hardly prove a shocker for her many fans. Crowning the conservative Dion a forward-thinking diva seems a bit premature, but this agreeable record opens the door to such a possibility. --Rickey Wright

Après près de deux ans de silence et une grossesse hautement médiatisée, Céline Dion revient avec un opus qui ravira ses fans tout en renforçant ses détracteurs dans leurs positions. Ne cherchez pas de changements majeurs dans A New Day Has Come, puisque la chanteuse originaire de Charlemagne s’y avère égale à elle-même. Sa voix puissante est certes mieux contrôlée, moins criarde, mais souvent mal servie par des compositions convenues. Si on y retrouve beaucoup de ballades, qui parlent d’amour et de maternité (on n’y échappera pas), quelques moments étonnants parsèment l’album. La reprise en format piano-voix de "Nature Boy", le classique de Cole Porter, charme par une douceur insoupçonnée chez Céline. Elle flirte même avec Destiny’s Child dans "Rain, Tax (It’s Inevitable)", une pièce à saveur "two-steps" pas piquée des vers. Sa version anglophone de "L’Envie d’aimer" (rebaptisée "The Greatest Reward"), tirée de la comédie musicale Les Dix Commandements, prouve également l’étendue de son talent d’interprète. Si les 16 morceaux avaient pu atteindre ce calibre, Céline Dion aurait causé une vraie belle surprise. --Frédéric Boudreault

polished to a brilliant shine,
By Alejandra Vernon "artist & illustrator" (Long Beach, California) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: A New Day Has Come (Audio CD)
Though this is far from my usual listening fare, I thoroughly enjoy it; the superb arrangements, the fine material, Celine's outstanding phrasing, and the many colorations of her sound. This is truly an exceptional female pop vocal performance.Surprisingly, the songs have been recorded in various places, with more than a single arranger, but the CD has a cohesiveness not usual for a production with so many different sources. The songs have a variety of moods, but she really shines in the slower ballads, especially when she sings in a lovely sweet pianissimo, like in the final section of "Prayer". A track I find very moving is "Goodbye's (the Saddest Word)" about the love between a mother and daughter. The highlights for me are two classics: A favorite from my childhood, Eden Ahbez's "Nature Boy", which originally was sung by Nat King Cole in the 1948 film "The Boy with Green Hair", has a simple solo piano accompaniment by Jorge Calandrelli, and a vocal rendering that is exquisite perfection. The second is the Gordon/Warren "At Last", from the 1942 "Orchestra Wives", originally performed by Glenn Miller, and which later became a huge hit for Etta James. This is also outstanding, and it is wonderful to hear these gorgeous songs kept alive by a modern-day diva. Celine's technical abilities and vocal range are a marvel, and another quality I appreciate is her enunciation. I can understand what she is saying, something I am not always able to do these days with other artists. The booklet insert has lyrics and complete recording information, a charming foldout central collage of family photos, and with 16 songs, you get quantity as well as quality; total time is: 68'07.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Like a screaming banshee,
By Gina Kohl (Syracuse, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A New Day Has Come (Audio CD)
Jeez! when will the likes of Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, and all those so-called pop divas finally stop their screaming, screeching sessions and give our tired, bleeding ears a break?Dion is nothing more than a screaming banshee who thinks she can sing. Heck, Celine, YOU CAN'T! Your voice is grating to the ears like metal against metal without grease. For Chrissakes, keep your banshee voice down! This album is just another joke.
