Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com essential recording
Dion has released a lot of music in the last four years, which in lesser talents could generate a "got the last one, don't need this" yawn from the public. Every conceivable base is covered here--"Tell Me" is the iconic pop adult smash, "Treat Her Like a Lady" has sewn up Contemporary Hits Radio, and there are a half-dozen others to keep the party going till 1999. The inclusion of the theme song to Titanic ("My Heart Will Go On") proves that nothing is likely to scuttle the unsinkable Ms. Dion. --Jeff Bateman

5.0 out of 5 stars A real banquet of star singers and producers, July 6, 2001

By	Andrew (Romania) - See all my reviews

This last entire english new material album from Celine Dion shows a more mature side of her talent,and proves that the succes of "Falling Into You" was not a passer-by one but instead the entrance to the Diva-world. "Let's Talk About Love" is by far the best album modern pop has ever produced during the past 20 years to say the least. There are simply too much stars involved in the recording of this album. There are practically no mistakes and there is a great coherence and cohesion between all of the tracks. No way this could ever be boring simply because it has a great diversity, starting with the common excellent well produced diva-pop and ending with a hip-hop cover and one or two extremely danceable songs. The album begins with "The Reason", a top vocal track which features the help of role model Carole King. On the following track The Bee Gees appear both as songwriters and as fellow singers turning "Immortality" into and very emotional and romantic song. On her hip-hop effort, Celine is being hepled by jamaican Diana King and Brownstone treesome. In fact, this one is a cover of Diana's 1995 "Treat her like a lady". "Tell Him" is the star duet on this album,Ms Dion teenage years' inspiration Barbra Streisand, having an important role in the succes of the song. It is overproduces, nevertheless tiresome. Still it is simple and clear, making it one of the most enjoyable musical experiences ever. There's also another beautiful cover on the album, "When I Need You", which goes on great with Celine's voice. The last duet is with classical singer Luciano Pavarotti turning on a more serious side of pop music, a more classical one. On top of that the famous producer George Martin (Beatles) helps on "The Reason", Walter Afanasieff and David Foster on "Tell Him" and several other tracks plus production work from music giants such as Rick Wake (previously worked on "The Colour..."), Corey Hart, Jim Steinman, Brian Adams, Jean-Jaques Goldman etc. There is also a spanish track on some non US editions "Amar Haciendo el Amor" on which Celine shows she has no problems with her fifth singing language. This is the work of Emilio Estefan Jr. But what surely made this album so important is the Titanic theme which needs no description. Next to those songs there are some great romantic tracks such as "Where Is The Love" and the title track. Inspite of the cliche phrase this really is a masterpiece album which fits in any respectable CD collection. In fact you cannot say you know music unless you've tasted this one aswell. All i have to say now is "Enjoy it!" because i know you will.

4.0 out of 5 stars Let's Talk About "Let's Talk About Love", December 16, 2000

By	"ll25" (Miami, Florida) - See all my reviews

This is one of Celne's best album. Collaborating with some of the biggest and best names in the music business including: her long-time idol Barbara Streisand (for their spectacular, over-the-top duet "Tell Him"), the Bee Gees (on "Immortality")Carole King and Sir George Martin (who co-wrote "The Reason")and Lucianno Pavarotti (for their duet "I Hate You Then I Love You"). The album was vaulted to the top of the charts back in 1998 by the ubiquitous Titanic theme "My Heart Will Go On." Other outstanding tracks include David Foster's gorgeous masterpiece "To Love You More," the emotional title track, the powerful, poignant "Us," beautiful "Miles To Go Before I Sleep," and Celine's pseudo hip-hop song "Treat Her Like A Lady," (featuring Diana King.) While there are a couple of weak tracks, and the aforementioned duet with Pavarotti suffers from mediocre songwriting, all in all, it is an excellent adult contemporary pop album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Only a genius can provoke such love and such hate..., October 5, 1999

By A Customer

...and nothing proves the point more than listening to this brilliant album and then reading the 200-plus reviews found here. Celine's voice is truly distinctive, incredibly wide-ranging in pitch and style -- and guaranteed to make you love her or (God help you) hate her as an artist.

Yes, this album is "commercial" -- but it's the very opposite of heartless. Yes, it's slickly produced -- but what's wrong with perfection in arrangement and performance? Yes, she pulls in a lot of big names on this album -- but isn't she humble in their presence and amazed to call them friends? Yes, Celine is first and last a singer -- but since when does that make an artist lack integrity? Yes, I think some of the songs on the album aren't worth singing by Celine or anybody else; we don't need more bad attitudes in the world. (That's the only reason I gave this album 4 stars.) Should that detract from the many really excellent tracks, like my personal favorites (the remake of "When I Need You", "My Heart Will Go On", and "To Love You More")? That's what programming on CD players is for: to let one pick what he likes to hear...

Celine, don't let your detractors get you down. Just keep on keeping on and (if you have to) cry all the way to the bank.
