A New Day Has Come Reviews:
A New Day has Come 
2008-09-12 - Heard "A New Day has Come", on "So You think You Can Dance" and Had to buy CD. Love it!
A Great Voice
2007-03-27 - Celine Dion has a great voice that appeals to different generations. Not only did I like the CD, but my granddaughter did too.
A new dawning for both of us 
2003-02-19 - This album by Celine means so much to me.
I bought the original version on its release date.
It was also the day Sakis and i called it quits.
My friends called me crazy buying a Dion album on such a traumatic moment, most thought her sad ballads would have brought me on the edge of a nervous breakdown (some other even thought i might commit suicide...).
Well, my dear anti-celine fans, the news is that i'm very much well and alive.
And the album is great as usual: SORRY FOR LOVE is the track that i relate to the most, due to the above-mentioned facts.
And the fact that is not a ballad, but a dance tune, made it all easier to cope with.
Celine hits such HIGH notes she really proves to be from another planet, and to really be in a small league of talented vocalists.
RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU is the other track i love, because is the one i relate to beginning my relationship with Wayne later on that same year.
Coincidentally both tracks have been co-penned by Kara DioGuardi, who's becoming fast my # 2 female songwriter after Diane Warren - who unfortunately is not present on this collection.
Also David Foster does not appear, although he was rumored - before the CD release - to have produced the boombastic ballad I SURRENDER.
It is instead produced by Foster's long-time collaborator Simon Frangler and written by another smashing duo: Sam Watters and Louis Biancanello.
WHEN THE ONE LOVES YOU RIGHT is produced by Rick Wake that once more brings out the dance side of Celine.
Not that she can't make you dance, I'M ALIVE is another feet-stomping track by Sweden's Andreas Carlsson and Kristian Ludlin.
The Raggae-influenced SUPERLOVE is a fun tune co-written by Shelly Peiken (favourite female songwriter # 3...) and Guy Roche, who also produced it.
And what about the Clapton-esque guitar in the rocking TEN DAYS? Just unbelievable!
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE is a smooth slowtempo, although the real gem of the album in terms of ballads comes with the Corey Hart-written, Walter Afanasieff-produced PRAYER: deep meaning, great orchestration and choir, amazing vocals by Celine.
You can't be moved by such style...the same style that comes through with the titletrack (presented in both radio and album version).
Of course there are bad moments - no album is perfect: RAIN, TAX is just unlistenable, AT LAST does not even come close to the Etta James original version or the great Gladys Knight cover version...and God knows why NATURE BOY was chosen to be made a remake???
The album is really worth it.
Now let me suggest you this one version i am reviewing...because you get a couple of extra songs in the first place: ALL BECAUSE OF YOU is a very nice ballad and COULDA WOULDA SHOULDA another Carlsson/Ludlin uptempo that could have replaced any of the "bad songs" i just wrote about.
Then you get the I'M ALIVE VIDEO (ok, not much of an extra, i would have preferred, say, the making of of the album, but whatever...).
And finally - but strictly for die-hard fans - there is a 15.00 minute preview of Celine's Las Vegas Show to start on march 25th.
And here comes Wayne again, surprising me to hell getting us tickets for when i am there this upcoming Summer!
He says he wants me to move on from the past and to make all my dreams come true if he can...
It is really true, a new day has come: Celine sings it right!
Celine Dion Restores Soul and Spirit to Dance Music...
2003-01-24 - Finally - after about fifteen years of largely soulless, emotionally barren 'techno' and 'house' garbage dominating the dance charts, Celine brings back what great dance music was always about: spiritually uplifting melodies and soaring harmonies climaxing in a joyful celebration of life. This type of music hasn't generally been heard since the mid-1980s, and it's a revelation to finally hear Dion's powerful voice bring it back in all its glory for a new generation to enjoy. Listen to the rapturous "I'm Alive" or "Sorry for Love", and see if your heart doesn't soar. This album's masterful production, while at times a bit 'in your face' nevertheless succeeds in seamlessly taking the listener through an alternatively joyful and introspective musical journey, with both Celine's slick trademark ballads and powerfully uplifting dance tracks. Her upcoming Las Vegas show at Caesar's palace should be quite the event, if this album is any indication. The bonus DVD, while mainly an advertisement for this show, also includes the video for "I'm Alive", and a couple extra (rather forgettable) tracks.
Hopefully this CD will be the beginning of a new 'golden era' of dance music - nothing this good has been heard in years. Brava Celine!
A Great Enjoyment Of Soul!!
2002-12-12 - This special edition is absolutly worth your money to buy, no matter whether you've already had it or not. The dvd provides an access to celine's much-anticipated las vegas show. In this album, most of the songs are very touching and emotional. Celine's voice is undeniable, it's beautiful.Every single song conveys different messages of life. Like "the greatest reward", "a new day has come", "goodbye's(the saddest word)"...etc. Under some circumstances, the songs made tears welled up in my eyes. Her music reminds me of some precious moments in my life. I believe people who enjoy celine's music have exprienced this sort of feeling...A lot of people criticize that celine records ballads all the time, althought varity is an essential element of a successful album, yet I would still like to say that ballads are the best access to people heart and inner emotion, so let celine's music inspire your heart,let it accompany with you through the good or hard times, let it help you see the positive and bright side of life.......why not?
