Lara Fabian

Lara Fabian, the super female singer coming from France / Quebec of Canada, started to invade worldwide music scene with this English vocal international debut album in 1999. The recording of this project were done in Los Angeles and New York with our familiar musicians such as Steve Lukather and Bruce Gaitsch. I dare to repeat my first impression when I listened to her vocals, "Her talent as a vocalist is more than Celine Dion!" It was said that Lara recorded more than 40 songs for the recording sessions of this album, and 12 songs are selected finally considering how the current US music market would respond to this album when it would be on sale. It was my personal impression that some songs were too danceable for her, therefore a kind of dramatic ballads type tunes should replace those if Sony Music Entertainment USA really wanted Lara Fabian to be the real superstar more than Celine by this album. It is well-known that Dianne Warren actually wrote several songs for her and Lara must have recorded those materials, but I do not know whether those songs were good enough for this album. One more thing I dared to say, I also felt that this album should have ignored French Market's musical taste. What I want to say was that several songs seemed to be heard as if Lara sang in French although she sang in English. Anyway, this CD was really good female vocal album whcih was difficult to come across. Worth listening! The album was released in Europe and also in Canada at first. Then, Sony Music Group all over the world released this long-awaited album accordingly.
