Celine Dion - Courage

 

140-gram translucent ruby vinyl double LP

Celine Dion's first English language alum in six years

One of the biggest-selling artists of all time, hailed as having one of the greatest, most versatile voices in history has for years has brought down the roof at her performances. Dion's last English-language album, Loved Me Back to Life, was released in 2013. One month later, her husband and manager René Angélil was diagnosed with throat cancer. Two and a half years later, he died, leaving Dion without him for the first time in her career.

Even if Dion didn't need a comeback, in the years since she re-entered the public eye following Angélil's passing, she's been a woman getting her groove back, writes Rolling Stone. With Courage, another foray into modern pop from a woman who could effectively sing you Twitter timelines for two hours straight and still make moms everywhere burst into tears, Dion makes you hope she'll never need to make an actual comeback for as long as we have her.

As with Loved Me Back to Life, Dion has assembled a surprising team of producers and writers to help keep her sound fresh. Sia, Greg Kurstin, Maureen McDonald and Sam Smith are some of the obvious choices. But as we've seen from her public persona of late, Dion is full of surprises: EDM superstar David Guetta and Eminem collaborator DJ Khalil are among the crew that help give this album an EDM-pop edge.
