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.
Industry Reviews
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... - Rating: B
