« You will love once more ! sings Céline with power in the chorus of this new title, which should please fans of the diva.
Listening to the lyrics of this new piece, one cannot help but draw parallels with the life of the singer of Charlemagne.
It speaks of a last farewell that leaves a feeling of emptiness; that it may be tempting to give up, but you shouldn’t.
« The sun will rise once more […] This is not the end and you will love once more [le soleil va briller de nouveau, ce n’est pas la fin, tu vas retrouver l’amour] “, sings Céline, probably referring to what the main character experiences in the film. Love Again. Widowed since 2016, following the death of René Angélil, we can also wonder if Céline “will find love once more”.
Interestingly, the song Love Again was co-written by Dan Wilson and ROSIE. Wilson is part of the Semisonic group, which in 1998 launched the megahit Closing Time. The singer also co-wrote Lovers Never Die for Céline on her latest studio album, Couragein 2019.
Sharing the song Thursday morning on social media, Celine and her team also announced that the film’s full album Love Again will be released on May 12, a week following the feature film hits theaters.
“Our tribute to Celine”
The album will have 14 tracks, including 5 new pieces by Céline (Love Again, I’ll Be, Waiting On You, Love of My Life, The Gift). It will also contain six of the singer’s greatest hits (It’s All Coming Back to Me Now, All By Myself, Where Does My Heart Beat Now, A New Day Has Come, Courage, That’s The Way It Is) and three selections of music from the film.
“I had a lot of fun making this film,” Celine Dion said in a statement. And having the privilege of appearing alongside talented actors Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Sam Heughan in my very first feature film is a gift I will forever cherish. I think it’s a wonderfully heartwarming story, and I hope people like it and the new songs. »
