5.0 out of 5 stars The Angel Returns!, April 20, 2002

This review is from: A New Day Has Come (Audio CD)

Celine has such a sweet beauty about her and also seems to be living the sweet life. Her music weaves romantic spells that appeal to the heart and lift the spirit. With this CD, Celine declares she is alive, fulfilled as a mother, and "In love."

"When you call on me
When I hear you breathe
I get wings to fly
I feel that I'm alive."

There is an entire feeling of fantasy (shooting stars, moonlight) in this CD. From songs dripping with water images (storms, rain) to the lingering lyrics of the "Nature Boy" rendition, her music seems to embody deep longings of the heart, new beginnings and fulfilled desires.

I'm Alive - Almost a message to her fans saying..."I'm Back and Flying High!"

Right In Front Of You - Speaks of a heart that was in the dark, cold and lonely looking for love and the two lovers could not see what was right in front of them. "I had to fall to finally see that you were right in front of me." Celine seems to have lived some of these songs if you think of how she met her husband.

Have You Ever Been In Love - Deeply romantic, her voice soars.

Rain, Tax (It's Inevitable) - Funky, breezy song about not wanting to be an island.

A New Day Has Come - Soft, silky desires and fulfilled wishes.

Ten Days - Puts a bit O punch into this CD.

Goodbye's (The Saddest Word) - A song about accepting death. A child's love of a mother and an inevitable goodbye.

Prayer - Meaningful lyrics about the world losing her way and children being the hope.

I Surrender - Surrendering everything to feel the chance to live and love again.

At Last - Sexy, smooth and lucky in love.

Sorry For Love - Steps up the Tempo just when needed. Talks about forgiveness and not being perceptive to the needs of a lover, yet promising a better future.

Aun Existe Amor - Exquisite!

The Greatest Reward - Giving your heart to show your love.

When The Wrong One Loves You Right - You can't hide from love.

A New Day has Come - Mellow, with a sense of inner freedom.

Nature Boy - My favorite song on this album. You will recognize this from Moulin Rouge. It is smooth and almost exotic in the hands of Celine.

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
is just to love and be loved in return"
-Nature Boy

It seems Celine has found the greatest thing in this life. If you love Celine, you won't be disappointed. This album grows on you. Listen to it four times and then tell me you don't love it. The baby pictures are a bonus along with the page after page of lyrics spread across sunrise scenes. Sigh...she looks so happy! ;) She deserves to be.

For the Romantics of the World!

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great return...Wow!, February 2, 2003

The only word that I can use for this CD is WOW!, it's beautiful, all the songs are great, I can really say that the waiting time was worth it.
As soon as you play the CD, it starts with the the incredible "I'm alive", I think that this is Celine's best (it's really strange that didn't charted in the Hot 100, well I think that sometimes that's better because when a good song tops the charts it means that maybe you're gonna hate it because they play them to much).
The second song "Right in front of you" has a mix of great sound and beautiful lyrics, this one is followed by "Have you ever been in love" which is a romantic soft ballad, track #4 was written by Tina Turner's songwritter Terry Writting (What's love got to do with it), the song is "Rain, tax", after this song comes the great hit "A new day has come", what a wonderful song!, then comes "Ten days" actually this song it's a cover from a french singer (I don't remember his name) the song is powerful.

If you wanna dance you have track #11 "Sorry for love".
Really I can only say buy this album, it's a must have.
If you want to know more about this album, I can say that it sold 2 million copies only on its first week, now is certified in the US as Platinum x2, but I think that in no time it's gonna be Platinum x3.
It's really strange that Celine didn't get any Grammy nominations this year, but the album deserves at least 1 Grammy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprising, April 1, 2002

By 

DuchessTal (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A New Day Has Come (Audio CD)

I have been waiting for what seems like forever for this album to come out so I had pretty high expectations for it. Let me tell you, it does not sound like any of her previous albums. As the self proclaimed "Celine's #1 fan", I was expecting heart wrenching ballads, but thats not what I got. What surprised me most on this album is that I was more impressed with the faster paced songs than the ballads. Although her voice is still amazing, the ballads didn't have the same punch as some of her others (such as My Heart Will Go On). The faster paced songs, on the other hand, are surprising and AWESOME. The album is a good mix of slow, mid and fast tempo songs. Some of the highlights are:
-I'm Alive
-Right in Front of You
-A New Day Has Come (the album version is slow, melodic and quite different than the one people are used to)
-Ten Days
-Goodbye's the Saddest Word (one of the better ballads on the album)
-At Last
-Sorry For Love (what a surprise! the vocals are incredible)

It's one of those albums you can listen the whole way through. Previous Celine fans will still be impressed, and people who may not have liked her before will be pleasantly surprised.
