THE ALBUM
"Falling Into You" is an album by Celine Dion, released on March 8, 1996. It is her fourth English-language album and twenty-first overall. "Falling Into You" was well received by critics and fans, winning two Grammy Awards for Best Pop Vocal Album and Album of the Year in 1997, and becoming one of the best-selling albums in history, with sales of over 32 million copies worldwide.
...> About The Album
"Falling Into You" was listed by the National Association of Recording Merchandisers in their Definitive 200 Albums of All Time as the 97th most influential and popular album in history. A 3CD set edition with the albums: "Let´s Talk About Love", "Falling Into You" and "A New Day Has Come", was released in October 2007. Later, it was repacked and released in a reusable gift box on September 29, 2009, titled "The Collection". "Falling Into You" presented Celine at the height of her popularity, and showed a further progression of her music. In an attempt to reach a wider audience, the album combined many elements: ornate orchestral frills and African chanting, and instruments like the violin, Spanish guitar, trombone, the cavaquinho, saxophone and supreme string arrangements by Paul Buckmaster created a new sound. The singles encompassed a variety of musical styles: the title track and "River deep, mountain high" (a Tina Turner cover) made prominent use of percussion instruments; "It´s all coming back to me now" (a remake of Jim Steinman´s song) and a remake of Eric Carmen´s "All by myself" kept their soft-rock atmosphere, but were combined with the classical sound of the piano; and the maudlin ballad, "Because you loved me", written by Diane Warren, served as the theme to the 1996 film "Up Close & Personal". The song was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1996, as well as four Grammy Awards. Celine performed at both ceremonies. The album included also Carole King´s "(You make me feel like) A natural woman" and Marie Claire D´ubaldo´s "Falling into you". "If That´s what it takes", "I don´t know" and "Fly" are the English adaptations of songs from the album "D´eux". Celine´s status on the world stage was further solidified when she was asked to perform "The power of the dream" at the opening ceremonies of the 1996 Summer Olympics. She sang in front of more than 100,000 people around her, in addition to over three and a half billion of TV viewers from their homes. Celine gave away the money she received for the occasion with a little extra to the Canadian team, to support Canadian athletes. The song was included on some limited editions of "Falling Into You" in Asia and Australia. In the United States, the song was included as the B-Side to the single "It´s all coming back to me now". In 2008, the song was included on Celine´s greatest hits album "My Love: Essential Collection". Celine went on the "Falling Into You Tour" to support the album. In February 1996, Celine announced the launch of her "Falling Into You Tour" in support of a new album. Celine and her band toured Australia, Canada, United States, and many countries in Europe and Asia. In all, the tour lasted more than a year, with 149 shows in 17 different countries. The sold out tour began on March 18, 1996 in Perth, Australia and continued to major cities around the world. It ended on June 26, 1997 in Zürich, Switzerland. In June 1997, Celine toured the biggest stadiums in Europe and sang before huge crowds ranging from 35,000 to 70,000 people.

...> Critical Reception
"Falling Into You", upon its release, received generally favorable reviews from most music critics. Some reviews were mixed, such as Dan Leroy´s review, which stated "Falling Into You" was not very different from her previous work. A couple of other critics, namely Stephen Holden of The New York Times and Elysa Gardner of Los Angeles Times, wrote that the album was formulaic, and there was a lack of emotional connection to the songs. However, other critics such as Chuck Eddy and Daniel Durchholz praised the album as a whole, stating that it was "compelling", "passionate", "stylish", "elegant", and "remarkably well-crafted". Allmusic gave the album a favorable review, which said: "Although the album is formulaic, it´s a well-executed, stylish, and catchy formula, accentuating her natural vocal charm. Dion shines on ballads like Because you loved me and mock epics like Jim Steinman´s It´s all coming back to me now. Between those two peaks, she tackles dance-pop and love songs with grace; that effortless elegance saves the mediocre material on the album from being tedious. Though there are a couple of weak tracks, Falling Into You is a remarkably well-crafted set of adult contemporary pop and Dion´s best album".

THE SINGLES
...> "Falling into you"
"Falling into you" is a 1994 single by Argentine singer Marie-Claire D´Ubaldo, which was her biggest hit. A Spanish version, called "Y caigo un poco más", was also recorded. The song subsequently became the title track from Celine´s 1996 hit album "Falling Into You", released as the first single in Europe and Australia on February 19, 1996. In other parts of the world "Because you loved me" was released as the lead track. A double A-side single with "Falling into you" and "Le ballet" (from the album "D´eux), was released by Columbia in Canada.
Celine revealed the recording process of this song in her authorized biography "Celine Dion: For Keeps": "I was not satisfied with the first recording we made with Falling into you. This is a song with many nuances, with half-tones. I found the arrangements were too violent, my voice didn´t flow enough. Everybody, however, the technicians, the authors, even David and Rene, seemed satisfied. I said nothing. But Rene felt that I wasn´t happy... He asked me what was wrong. I explained it to him. He seemed surprised. Then I hummed him Falling into you describing after every time the arrangements which I was imagining. He quickly agreed with me. He seemed amazed, as if he just discovered something... I called the director and the engineer to explain how I was feeling my song, what kind of changes. They all agreed and were happy, they said it to me... This song marked a step of my emancipation as an artist... I was becoming a mature, grown-up, autonomous artist... So we came back in studio and we recorded Falling into you again. It never became a big song for the stage; it is too sweet, too subtle to move a crowd. But it is, in my opinion, one of the thrillest songs on the album Falling Into You. And I love the lyrics...". The final arrangement used on Celine´s version uses an identical backing track to D´Ubaldo´s original version. The maxi-single included "Le ballet", which was released as promotional single in France, earlier the same year. "Falling into you" reached number 1 in Spain and in Greece, and became a top 10 hit in Norway (number 8) and in the UK (number 10). The single has sold 170,000 copies in the UK and 165,000 in France, where it remains undercertified (should be silver). Celine performed this song live during her "Falling Into You Tour". "Falling into you" became a part of the Australian edition of "All The Way… A Decade Of Song" greatest hits in 1999, "The Collector´s Series, Volume One" compilation in 2000 and the European version of "My Love: Essential Collection" greatest hits in 2008.

...> "It´s all coming back to me now"
"It´s all coming back to me now" is a power ballad, written by Jim Steinman. The song was the first on Celine´s album "Falling Into You". It was released in CD single, cassette single and vinyl single on July 29, 1996.
Steinman produced the track, with Steven Rinkoff and Roy Bittan as co-producers. Bat out of Hell and Meat Loaf collaborators Todd Rundgren, Eric Troyer, Rory Dodd, Glen Burtnick and Kasim Sulton provided backing vocals. Two editions of the CD single, never were marketed. In 2008, "It´s all coming back to me now" was included on Celine´s greatest hits compilation "My Love: Essential Collection". Live performances can be found in the "A New Day... Live In Las Vegas" and Taking Chances World Tour . The Concert" albums. The song attracted generally positive reviews. The Calgary Sun stated: "...is undoubtedly the highlight of her English-language recording career. Dion´s over-the-top vocals soar and swoop around Steinman´s epic, ostentatious arrangement. Not surprisingly, everything else that follows... pales in comparison". Toronto´s Eye Weekly said Steinman´s "fatal absence from the last Meat Loaf record is finally justified here", and The Miami Herald said "Dion knocks a couple out of the ballpark... [the song] features seven minutes of Wagnerian bombast, thunderclap piano chords and emoting that would wither an opera diva. Sure, it´s over-the-top but it´s passionate and musical". Some other reviews were less enthusiastic. After labelling Celine "a Madonna-meets-Meat Loaf vocal freak", The Vancouver Sun called the song "intensely self-indulgent, pompously self-important and mediocre beyond belief, the song just never ends". The Ottawa Sun called it 'turgid', while The Toronto Sun, coincidentally, said that it "sounds like a Meat Loaf reject". According to the Sunday Times, Andrew Lloyd Webber told Steinman he thought this song "the greatest love song ever written", and on hearing the Celine version reportedly said: "This will be the record of the millennium". Several versions of the CD single were released in 1996. They featured the songs "The power of the dream", "Le fils de Superman", "Fly", "To love you more", and a live version of "Where does my heart beat now"; a cassette and 7" vinyl version were also released. Another CD contained several dance remixes, although these attracted negative reviews. While praising its original form, Allmusic said that 'as a dance song, it misses the mark... the final 'Moran' mix is a little better [than the other dance mixes] because the vocals don´t pop up until three and a half minutes into the song'. Two rare single´s covers leaked to the internet. However these projects were never marketed.

THE MUSIC VIDEOS
...> "Falling into you"
The music video was directed by Nigel Dick between January 18-19, 1996 in Gorbio, France and released in February 1996.
...> "Because You Loved Me"
The music video, with fragments from the film "Up Close & Personal", was directed by Kevin Bray in January 1996 and released in February.
...> "It´s all coming back to me now" [ version 1 ]
Nigel Dick directed the music video, with Simon Archer as cinematographer and Jaromir Svarc as art director. It was shot between June 29 and July 3, 1996 in the summer palace of the Austrian Emperor, Ploskovice and Barandov Studios, Prague, Czech Republic; it was later released in July 1996. Castle Ploskovice in Ploskovice supplied the exterior of the gothic mansion. This is the single version of the music video (about 6:00 in length). It was included on Celine´s 2001 DVD video collection "All The Way… A Decade Of Song & Video". The video opens with a man dying in an explosive motorcycle crash, after lightning strikes a tree down in his path. Celine´s character is haunted by her lover´s image, which she sees through a mirror, and images of them together through picture frames. There are stylistic similarities to Russell Mulcahy´s video for Steinman´s "Total eclipse of the heart", to the extent that Slant calls Dick´s video an update. Celine is seen running alone through a dark, gothic mansion, with wind blowing through the open windows.
...> "It´s all coming back to me now" [ version 1 ]
An extended version of the music video also was released, with about 7:44 in length and it was also included on Celine´s 2001 DVD video collection "All the Way… A Decade of Song & Video".
...> "The power of the dream"
The music video shows Celine performing the song during the opening ceremony of the 1996 Summer Olympics.
...> "All by myself" [ version 1 ]
There were three music videos made. This first one was released in October 1996. It contains fragments from Celine´s photo session for the "Falling Into You" album cover and some scenes from her "Live À Paris" concert. It was made for the single version.
...> "All by myself" [ version 2 ]
A second version was made for the UK market with the same white t-shirt scenes but adding footage of a young couple in love at Christmas times, instead of scenes from Celine´s concert. This was made for the album version. It was premiered in December 1996 during Christmas on VH1 channel in USA.
...> "All by myself" [ version 3 ]
A third and live version was made. It was taken from Celine´s performance in Montreal, Canada with the "Falling Into You Tour". It was released in March 1997 only in North America.
...> "Sola otra vez"
The black and white music video for "Sola otra vez" (the Spanish version of "All by myself"), with few scenes in colour, is a mix of various scenes: the recording sessions of the song; the music video for "All by myself"; footage from the "Live À Paris" concert (backstage and performances); and footage from a concert in Montreal, Canada with the "Falling Into You Tour" (1996). It was shown in selected countries.
...> "Call the man"
The music video was directed by Greg Masuak in 1995 and already used for two other songs in edited versions: "Je sais pas" and "Next plane out".
...> "(You make me feel like) A natural woman"
During the photo session for the album "Falling Into You", Celine was filmed singing songs from that album. Footage from this session with fragments of Celine singing "All by myself" was used on the music video of that song. Although there was no official music video made for "(You make me feel like) A natural woman", there is a rare video with Celine singing the song, taken from the same photo session for the album "Falling Into You". Maybe it was made for promotion only.
