This is her most fresh-sounding album ever. While different from the direction her albums usually take, as a dedicated fan for the past few years I was not dissapointed by this CD at all.

"One Heart," the title track, is an astonishingly fresh, excellent piece of ear candy, and the only instantly addictive song on the album besides the initial Top 50 single "I Drove All Night." However, the majority of the recordings soon catch on, such as other essential listenings like "Love Is All We Need," "Faith," the sensual "In His Touch" and the stately "I Know What Love Is." There is such a great variety here. Celine is really broadening her horizons. Until now, her most musically diverse English album was "Unison," her 1990 English debut that had her doing her signature ballads mixed with techno, 80's tinged dance-pop, and even hints of country.

The odd thing about this album is that has a more rock feel than most of Celine's past recordings. The power ballads like "The Power of Love" or "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" are left to gather dust on the recording studio floor as Celine has chosen to put together a more stark recording this time around. Some fans will definitely feel a little disheartened upon listening to "One Heart," but after a few listens they will probably appreciate Celine's new direction rather be unnerved it, just like myself, the typical Celine fan and follower.

All in all, this is definitely an unusual recording for Celine, but it is an excellent departure from what we have been, at times overly, accustomed to expecting from her. One thing I know: This album will continue to grow on me. I look forward to the experience.

As music diva Celine Dion marks her Las Vegas debut at Caesar's Palace, she hits a career milestone with her second album after "coming back" from a two-year hiatus. This album is good, but a little weaker than her "come-back" album, "A New Day Has Come."

The most prominent songs on the album include the recent single, "I Drove All Night," with it's heavy, up-tempo sound. Celine branches into a younger genre with Britney Spears' sounding "Love is All We Need," which certainly appeals to a younger generation with sound, but adults with the mature lyrics.

The more risque, "Naked," is certainly a song to share with your spouse, but you might want to cover the ears of your children as Dion examines the steamy romance between a couple. In addition to this steamy song, "In His Touch" reveals how a man loves a woman not with words, but "in his touch." Other great songs include "Faith," "Stand by Your Side."

And as always, the diva couldn't do the album without a strong and moving love ballad, "Forget Me Not," which is beautifully recorded and orchestrated well.

The only somewhat disappointments with the album include the addition of "Have You Ever Been in Love," which was also included on "A New Day Has Come." For some reason either Dion or the record company felt a need to add the song again. However, the encore presentation should have been replaced with the song, "All Because of You," which was generously released on a DVD promo in the re-release of "A New Day Has Come" earlier this year.

"All Because of You," can only be heard by playing the CD in your DVD player. It's obvious ommission from this album was a disappointment, especially since the other single on the "New Day Has Come" DVD, "Coulda Woulda Shoulda" is on the new album.

In addition, a remake of "Sorry for Love," is included in One Heart's track list with a much slower version. It could have easily been left off as well, as it doesn't do justice to the upbeat version on A New Day...

The album is not quite as good as "A New Day Has Come," but it will definitely be a fan favorite and a great compliment to Dion's Vegas show. The album is definitely worth the purchase, but don't expect it to outdo its 2002 predecessor.

In the 14 track 'One Heart', Celine offers 12 all new tracks PLUS 'Have You Ever Been In Love', and an all new version of 'Sorry For Love'. The new tracks lay new ground for Celine, offering a low key and much more emotional look into her. Songs like 'Reveal' and 'Naked' are offered for Celine's more mature fans and 'Forget Me Not' is an offering for all those beloved mothers out there. 'In His Touch' and 'I Know What Love Is' will surely satisfy fans who want to hear Celine's staple Ballads and 'Love Is All We Need' is a great dance track reminiscent of some of Prince's work. 'Je T'aime Encore' is a beautiful ENGLISH track unlike any Celine has ever done. In my opinion, the most amazing song on the CD would have to be 'Stand By Your Side' as Celine shows more restraint and emotion than ever before. All in all, 'One Heart' fits easily in most music fans collection, even those who aren't Celine Fans. COMPLETE tackslisting :

1. Drove All Night

4. In His Touch

What can I say? The first time I listened to ONE HEART I was confused. So, I put it away and watched the A NEW DAY... TV Special on CBS. After the show I was in the Céline mood. So, I listened to "One Heart" again!

I TRUELY LOVE IT! It is genious! It is pop! Vocals are wonderful! She did a GREAT LP!

I was worried at first when I heard she was putting out another English LP after a little less than a year, I was hoping for a French LP. But, rumours started to come up and people were worried! She came through for us again! Je t'aime Céline!

I DROVE ALL NIGHT - The 1st single from the LP. Of course you know it from the Chrysler commercials. The vocals are splendid. 5/5

LOVE IS ALL WE NEED - An up Max Martin tune! (From the writer who did "That's The Way It Is" as well as Britney Spears classics such as "...Baby One More Time","Oops!...I Did It Again",etc). 4/5

FAITH - this song is uptempo. It has a nice message...HAVE FAITH! Not my favourite, but ok! 3/5

IN HIS TOUCH - a 1940's type of ballad. It has mild distortion for the effect. The lyrics are pretty and make me want love! 5/5

ONE HEART - This has to be another one of my favourites! It's happy and pretty poppy! 5/5

STAND BY YOUR SIDE - Probably my least favourite. 2/5

NAKED - This is my second favourite. It makes you want to be in love! It's uptempo ballad. 5/5

SORRY FOR LOVE (2003 VERSION) The ballad version of the song previously released on the "A New Day Has Come" LP. I REALLY LIKE IT! I must confess I wasn't too excited having a recycled song! 4/5

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE - another previously released track from "A New Day Has Come". It's a pretty song, but we've heard it all before! The same exact version! They could hbave at least done alternate vocals! 2/5 (On ANDHC 4/5)

REVEAL - A nice, pretty song! 4/5

COULDA WOULDA SHOULDA - previously released on the A NEW DAY HAS COME LIMITED EDITION CD+DVD 5/5

FORGET ME NOW - This is the "Goodbye's (The Saddest Word) of the LP! Pretty! 5/5

I KNOW WHAT LOVE IS - My MOST FAVOURITE SONG! I love it. I had it in my head all day at school! This is a big ballad. MY FAVOURITE! 5/5!

JE T'AIME ENCORE - I was hoping this soung would be in French, but what can I say. It's a poor song to send the LP. After it's done you're like "huh?"! 2/5

"ONE HEART" is an excellent LP. Makes me proud to be a DION fan!

After her comeback "A New Day Has Come", Celine returned with her next English-language studio album, "One Heart". I can honestly say, this is her best English-language set so far. I have only heard one of her French recordings, but I own none. The songs on "One Heart" are either about being in love, wanting to be in love, or needing love, etc. The album faired quite well on the charts, though the singles went nowhere. While the album got #2 in America (and #4 UK; #1 Canada; #6 Germany; #1 France; #6 Australia, and a rather lackluster #27 in Japan), the singles achieved Top 50 status ("I Drove All Night") and outside-the-Billboard-Hot-100 status ("Have You Ever Been In Love?", though the song was first found on her "A New Day Has Come" album). "I Drove All Night/One Heart" was also released as a double A-side single in the United Kingdom, but only achieved #27. "One Heart" - the album - has achieved 2x Platinum in the US since its release in 2003, and has so far sold 8 million worldwide.

"One Heart" actually surpassed my very high expectations. After I heard the singles "I Drove All Night" and "One Heart" and after hearing tracks 2, 3 and 4, I knew I had to have the album. While the first five songs - probably because I'm most fimiliar with them - still remain my fave songs on the album, along with the beautiful "Have You Ever Been In Love", all of the tracks are FANTASTIC, being unique in their own way. While the title track and tracks 1, 2 and 3 are rather uptempo, the rest of the album remains quite laid-back. I thought that "I Drove All Night" and "One Heart" would be two of the album's best tracks, but songs like "Reveal", "Stand By Your Side", "In His Touch" and "Faith" were slightly better. I recommend this album completely from the bottom of my one heart (no pun intended, Celine) to all of those who love Dion's music.
