Background and release

edit

After releasing two English-language studio albums, Unison (1990) and Celine Dion (1992), recording Academy Award and Grammy Award-winning song, "Beauty and the Beast", and achieving three top ten entries on the Billboard Hot 100 ("Where Does My Heart Beat Now", "Beauty and the Beast" and "If You Asked Me To"), Dion started working on her third English-language album, entitled The Colour of My Love. In September 1993, she performed two concerts at the Capitole de Québec in Quebec City, Canada, which were recorded to be later broadcast on television. Dion performed brand new, unheard songs from the upcoming album The Colour of My Love, including: "Refuse to Dance", "Everybody's Talkin' My Baby Down", "The Colour of My Love", "The Power of Love", "Misled", "Think Twice" and "Only One Road". The show entitled later The Colour of My Love Concert was issued as a home video in 1995. The Colour of My Love was released in November 1993 in North America, December 1993 in Japan, February 1994 in Europe and in March 1994 in Australia.

In the album's liner notes, Dion for the first time publicly revealed her relationship with her manager, René Angélil. During the album's launch event at Montreal's Metropolis, she announced they are engaged to be married.[2][3]

Content

edit

The Colour of My Love was released with fourteen songs in the United States and fifteen tracks, including "Just Walk Away", elsewhere. The album was produced mainly by David Foster, Ric Wake, Guy Roche, Walter Afanasieff and Christopher Neil. Diane Warren wrote four songs for The Colour of My Love, including: "Next Plane Out", "Real Emotion", "No Living Without Loving You" and "Lovin' Proof". The album features a duet with Clive Griffin on "When I Fall in Love", taken from the Sleepless in Seattle soundtrack and a cover version of Jennifer Rush's 1984 track, "The Power of Love". In October 1995, The Colour of My Love was re-released in Japan, including new song, "To Love You More", written and produced by David Foster.

Singles

edit

After "When I Fall in Love", which originally appeared on the Sleepless in Seattle soundtrack, "The Power of Love" was issued as the first proper single from The Colour of My Love. The song was very successful, reaching number one in the United States, Canada and Australia, and peaking inside top ten in various countries, including the United Kingdom and France. "The Power of Love" has sold over 1.1 million copies in the United States and was certified Platinum in 1994.[4][5] The next song, "Misled", became a top ten single in Canada and also reached number one on the Hot Dance Club Songs in the United States. Another success came with the release of "Think Twice", a single which topped the charts in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and the Netherlands, and reached top ten in Australia, Spain and Switzerland. "Think Twice" has sold over 1.3 million copies in the United Kingdom and was certified Platinum in 1995 (eligible for two-times Platinum).[6][7] The next single, "Only One Road" peaked inside the top ten in the United Kingdom, Spain and Ireland. In 1995, "Next Plane Out" was released in Australia and "Just Walk Away" was issued as a promotional single in Spain.

Dion also embarked on The Colour of My Love Tour and performed concerts in the United States in February 1994, and in Canada through May 1994.

Upon release, the album received mixed reviews from music critics, with positive attention given to Dion's vocals. Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic gave it three out of five stars and wrote that the album follows the same pattern as Dion's eponymous breakthrough, and while the songs are not quite as consistent this time around, the record is nevertheless quite successful, thanks to the careful production, professional songwriting (highlighted by "When I Fall in Love", "The Power of Love", and "Think Twice") and Dion's powerhouse performances.[19] Brad Webber from Chicago Tribune gave the album two out of four stars.[20] He felt that "sickly sweet, by-the-books standards" like "The Power of Love" belie Dion's talent: "forcefully resonant and multiflavored vocals".[20] He criticized "crooked roots" of a Janet Jackson impersonation ("Misled" and "Think Twice"), formulaic duo ballad ("When I Fall in Love") and added that with Dion's attempt at soul, you can categorize her as "fairly shallow, sort of a female Michael Bolton".[20] However Webber praised an "exotic thrill" in "Refuse to Dance", which "throws a little variety in the mix".[20] According to Billboard, The Colour of My Love is a "big-league affair" that should push Dion to "new realms of pop stardom".[14] Dion is more mature and shows off her vocal prowess on probable smashes as "The Power of Love", "Misled" and "Only One Road".[14] According to Larry Flick from Billboard, although The Colour of My Love is full of the "grand pop balladry", it also has more rhythmic depth than Dion's previous projects, including jack-swinging "Misled" and the "haunting but spine-crawling" "Refuse to Dance".[15]
