About
Céline Dion’s 1992 self-titled album made her a household name in English Canada; its 1993 follow-up, <i>The Colour of My Love</i>, made her a global icon. In fact, Dion could already stake her claim as the most captivating voice in adult-contempory pop before the first song even hits its second verse. The opening cover of Jennifer Rush’s 1984 hit “The Power of Love” counts as one of Céline’s career-defining performances, its gently quivering verses gradually giving way to a stratospheric chorus that feels like the first rays of the morning sun beaming up over the horizon. <i>The Colour of My Love</i> features several more showcases of Dion’s power-ballad prowess, but it also highlights her ability to coax the big emotions from a variety of different settings: On “Think Twice,” her slow-burning vocals bridge the gap between smoky soft-rock synths and fiery blues-rock guitar solos, while her sweetly amorous duet with Clive Griffin on the <i>Sleepless in Seattle</i> theme “When I Fall in Love” shored up her stature as pop’s reigning soundtrack queen a good five years before “My Heart Will Go On,” from <i>Titanic</i>, won the Oscar for Best Original Song. With over 20 million copies sold worldwide, <i>The Colour of My Love</i> thrust Dion to the rarefied echelon of fame that she’d inhabit for decades to come. But even as her star was rocketing skyward, the funky R&B of “Misled” and Euro-club grooves of “Refuse to Dance” betrayed a lingering desire to get down on the dance floor.
