Columbia Records will release Taking Chances, the avidly-awaited new studio
album from the multi-platinum-selling Grammy-winning musical artist Celine
Dion, on Tuesday, November 13.
Taking Chances is the artist's debut album on Columbia Records and first
full-length new studio work since 2003's multi-platinum One Heart. The album
also marks Celine's first new recordings since 2004 when she released A New
Day: Live In Vegas, a document of her long-running record-breaking Las Vegas
extravaganza, and Miracle, the CD "soundtrack" for a book of photographs by
Anne Geddes celebrating babies and motherhood.
As she completes an astounding sold-out five-year run -- during which she's
sold more than three million tickets -- of her Las Vegas show, "A New Day,"
in December 2007, Celine Dion sets out in bold new creative directions with
Taking Chances, perhaps the most personal and revelatory collection of songs
and performances in her fabled career.
Recorded mainly over a three-week period in July 2007 at Palm Studios in Las
Vegas, Taking Chances finds Celine collaborating with a group of today's top
songwriters and producers including Linda Perry (Pink, Gwen Stefani,
Christina Aguilera), the Eurythmics' Dave Stewart, ex-Evanescence guitarist
Ben Moody, chart-topping R&B/pop songwriter Ne-Yo, John Shanks (Melissa
Etheridge, Kelly Clarkson), Kara DioGuardi (Pink, Kelly Clarkson, "One
Heart"), Kristian Lundin (Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC), Anders Bagge and Peer
Astrom (Bagge & Astrom: Take That, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Santana,
Madonna), Aldo Nova, Christopher "Tricky" Stewart (Rihanna, Usher) and Chris
Neil (Mike & the Mechanics).
Though she'd fallen in love with one particular song, "That's Just The Woman
In Me " -- written by guitarist Kimberley Rew (best-known for penning
"Walking On Sunshine" for his then-band Katrina & the Waves) -- some 15 years
ago, it wasn't until she began work on her new album that she knew the song
perfectly suited this new phase of her artistic development.
"I think this album represents a positive evolution in my career," said
Celine Dion. "As time goes by, and we have more experiences in life, it's
easier to get in touch with our innermost feelings....to know more about what
we really want, how we really feel. These days, I'm feeling strong....maybe a
little gutsier than in the past...and just as passionate about music and life
as I ever was."
From her tour-de-force performances of "Taking Chances" (written by Kara
DioGuardi and Dave Stewart; produced by John Shanks) and Heart's "Alone" to
the driving rhythms of "Eyes On Me," Celine's new album showcases her deep
and powerful connection to the emotional core of her songs and her art.
Having sold more than 180 million albums around the world since her American
debut in 1990, Celine Dion is one of the most immediately recognized, widely
respected and successful performers in pop music history. In addition to
numerous US and international gold, platinum and multi-platinum
certifications, Celine Dion has seen two of her albums -- Falling Into You
and Let's Talk About Love -- each achieve RIAA Diamond status in recognition
of sales of more than 10 million copies in the US alone (each selling 30
million worldwide). She has been awarded five Grammy Awards including 1992's
Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal (for "Beauty and the
Beast"), 1996's Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album (for Falling Into
You) and 1998's Record of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance (for
"My Heart Will Go On" [Love Theme from 'Titanic']). Both "Beauty and the
Beast" and "My Heart Will Go On" received Best Song Academy Awards for their
respective years of release.
In 2004, after achieving then-total global sales of more than 175 million
albums, Celine Dion was presented with the World Music Award for the
Best-selling Female Pop Artist of All Time.
