FALLING INTO YOU won the 1997 Grammy Awards for Album Of The Year and Best Pop Album. "Because You Loved Me," written by Diane Warren, won the 1997 Grammy for Best Song Written Specifically For A Motion Picture Or For Television. "Because You Loved Me" was also nominated for Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
With a powerful set of pipes and some killer romantic ballads, Celine Dion is back in full force on this much-anticipated disc. The woman who previously hit it huge in the U.S. with 1991's "Beauty And The Beast" knows how to belt out a song, and then some. FALLING INTO YOU is full of lovely pop ballads, big production and soaring chord changes. Throw in some stadium-ready guitar parts, and it becomes definitive "power love" music. These combined elements help propel the grandiose "Because You Loved Me," among the biggest pure pop hits of early 1996. Dion also manages to achieve a certain level of soul, particularly on "Make You Happy," a slow, funky number with a catchy chorus. But "Declaration of Love" perhaps sums up the singer's style best: upbeat, up front, not quite rockin' but not wimpy either. She's a singer with a big, soaring soprano and a real knack for her chosen genre. Her fans won't be disappointed with this effort.
Professional Reviews
Entertainment Weekly (3/15/96, p.64) - "There's something compellingly eccentric about even the mushiest ballads on Dion's new set, which features Spanish guitars, African chanting, and ornate orchestral frills..."
One of the first Celine albums I ever heard, this made me fall in love with her voice and listen to it as much as possible,. I remember as a child putting it on as loud as I could and going to sit next to the speaker to get the full experience.
Its a very young Celine but a very good Celine album!
'Falling Into You' is a great album - and if you can get the version with the bonus disc, all the better (there are only 5 songs on the bonus disc, but they're all fantastic - one of them is 'The Power of the Dream', which Celine sang at an Olympic opening ceremony some years back). 'River Deep, Mountain High' is a punchy song, and this is the best version of it I've ever heard; 'Because You Loved Me' is beautiful, and 'Fly' (written for Celine Dion's niece, who died at a young age) is bitter-sweet and lovely.
