“Let’s fly, let’s waltz, let’s dance… Since the world no longer goes round…,” sings the 58-year-old Quebec star in this slow-paced French title. She celebrates combativeness and resilience in the face of the chaos of the world, but also in resonance with her health problems.
“Let’s dance above the great voids/Let our breaths guide us, the bodies in unison (…)/Let’s dance to be and stay straight/Because we owe it to all the immobile, the voiceless and lawless…/Despite everything since we can only dance standing up…”, continues Céline Dion, whose voice, particularly highlighted, appears intact.
The artist with 260 million albums sold, according to his record company, announced on March 30 his return to the stage after six years away from the public, between the Covid pandemic and persistent health problems. She will give 16 concerts at Paris La Défense Arena, for which tickets have been snapped up.
Celine Dion received this new title from Jean-Jacques Goldman in 2020 but it was only recorded this year, according to Sony.
In 2020, “people were dancing, confined to their homes”
“It was in 2020, the world stopped and people were dancing, confined to their homes,” said Jean-Jacques Goldman in a press release. “Six years later, no more viruses but no need to change a word, the world is not turning any better, and we are still dancing “above the abyss””.
As of Wednesday evening, a short 12-second video without music, showing couples slow dancing in Paris on the banks of the Seine, near the Opera and the Saint-Lazare station, was broadcast on the singer’s Instagram account, with the mention “Céline Dion x Jean-Jacques Goldman”, leaving no doubt about this new collaboration.
“Let’s Dance” must be accompanied by a “lyrical clip, without participation in the image of Céline Dion,” Sony specified.
