Celine Dion is an eponymous album by Canadian singer Céline Dion, released on March 31, 1992. It's her 2nd English album and
17th in total. Celine Dion's real international breakthrough came when she paired up with Peabo Bryson to record the title track to
Walt Disney Pictures animated film Beauty and the Beast (1991). The song captured a musical style that Dion would utilize in the
future: sweeping, classical and soft rock influenced adult contemporary ballads with soft instrumentation. Both a critical and
commercial smash, the song became her second United States top 10 hit, and also won the Academy Award for Best Original Song,
Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, Grammy Awards for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and "Best Song
Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media, and was nominated for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. That
song was also the first single from Celine Dion album which had a soft rock influence that was combined with elements of soul and
classical music. Due to the success of the lead-off single, the album was as well received. As with Dion's earlier releases, the album
had an overtone of love.
Dion worked with a new team of writers and producers on her eponymous album. Five songs were written by Diane Warren. "With
This Tear" was a gift from Prince who wrote the song especially for Céline Dion and offered it to her. The tracks were produced mainly
by Walter Afanasieff, Ric Wake and Guy Roche. Thanks to Celine Dion, the singer was nominated also for a Grammy Award for Best
Female Pop Vocal Performance.
By 1992, Unison, Celine Dion and media appearances had propelled Dion to superstardom in the North America. She had achieved
one of her main objectives: wedging her way into the anglophone market and establishing fame. Apart from her rising success, there
were also changes in Dion's personal life, as René Angélil would make the transition from manager to lover. However, the
relationship was kept a secret as both feared that the public would find the twenty-six-year difference between their ages incongruous.
European version of Celine Dion included "Where Does My Heart Beat Now" as a bonus track. The album was re-released on
September 7, 1992 in Australia with a bonus disc containing four songs from Unison.
Dion did the Celine Dion Tour to support the album.
"Send Me a Lover" was a "leftover" from the recording sessions of the Celine Dion album. It was released in 1994.
The Celine Dion album was an even bigger success than her debut English album, selling 6 million copies worldwide and reaching
number 3 in Canada and 34 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. This is when Dion was starting to shine in the United States. Celine Dion
has sold 3 million copies in the U.S. alone.
Her popularity was also showing in Canada where the album peaked at number 3 and sold over 1 million copies (a diamond award).
In other regions of the world the album gained great review and showed her chart higher than she had before. On her next English
album Dion would soar to heights she had never experienced. She also received her first World Music Award for Best Selling
Canadian Female Recording Artist of the Year.
Singles released from the album gave Céline Dion more success. The biggest of which was "Beauty and the Beast" which charted at
number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold in excess of 500,000 copies in U.S. alone. Other singles that achieved moderate
success included "If You Asked Me To" (a cover of Patti LaBelle's song from the 1989 movie Licence to Kill) which peaked at number
4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, the gospel-tinged "Love Can Move Mountains," "Nothing Broken But My Heart," "Water from the Moon"
and "Did You Give Enough Love."
