This is Celine 's best french album so far!
I have all Celine's albums since 1990 but this is one of my favourites! Its her best since 1997 ''lets talk about love''multi-million seller.If you know french or not it doesn't matter here, the songs are so good and her voice sounds so nice that you will love it ! great songs are ''le vol d'un ange'',''tu nages'' , ''je lui dirai'',''mon homme'',''contre nature'' ,'' des milliers de baisers'' and the most AMAZING french song she has ever done ''RIEN N"EST VRAIMENT FINI''- its musicality you can feel it! It comes from the heart! I could go on about how good the album is but buy it and see you will love it! Unfortunatelly the album did not sell well in the Uk (due to a lack of promotion also) - just to show how bad the music industry is at the moment - this is a masterpiece!Forget about her last 2 albums ---- Believe me this is Celine's best french album so far!
Tres Bien!
The last few years have been a roller coaster for Celine Dion, and her music of late seems to reflect that - she's released dance tunes, ballads, and even jazz classics. However, Celine returns to her roots on "1 Fille & 4 Types" with songs that are not only in her native French, but beautiful tracks.You don't have to understand the language to appreciate the tunes contained on this album. They are all very much alive, and there is distinct emotion communicated in each. To write about each one would take more time and room than either of us have patience for, so here are the highlights:
'Je Lui Dirai': The first time I heard this song, I fell in love with it. The story of a mother telling her child about his family and the world around him, it is at once light, catchy, and a beautiful track.
'Je t'Aime Encore': Celine recorded the English version of this acoustic gem on her last album, "One Heart", and she treats fans to a French - language version on this album. In many ways, the song sounds better in French, and the delicacy of the mood is even more evident in this language.
'Ne Bouge Pas': I never thought I would hear Celine Dion singing something resembling country music in French, but in 'Ne Bouge Pas', she does just that. It's a fun track to sing along to, with relatively easy lyrics to learn and a catchy refrain.
'Retiens - Moi': Sounding like something you would normally hear from an artist like Jewel, 'Retiens - Moi' is a warm, acoustic song with a beautiful melody and lyrics.
'Valse Adieu': A bonus track on this album, 'Valse Adieu' ('Goodbye Waltz') is a beautiful track, ballad-like but with acoustic guitar. NOTE: It is not listed on the album's tracklist, but Amazon has included it on theirs.
Overall, this album is a great new sound for Celine. She has toned down the powerful vocals she has been performing in ballads for years, yet it's much tamer than her more recent dance albums. I highly recommend "1 Fille & 4 Types" to anyone who enjoys beautiful, relaxing music. This one's not full of studio magic - there's just a great voice singing heartfelt songs. C'est tres bien.

S'il Suffisait D'Aimer est la chanson utilisée dans la publicité pour la Fondation de L'Hôpital Sainte-Justine! Avez-vous su cela? Bravo!!! Oui mon nom est québécois, mais mon nom est canadien aussi!!! Vive le Canada et à la prochaine fois...Jean-Francois Jacques Pierre Tremblay.
Céline is at her best in French!
Whenever people criticize me for being a Céline Dion fan, I always tell them to listen to her in French because it is so much better than her English recordings. While I like many of those as well, 1 Fille & 4 Types is of the same quality as D'eux and S'il Suffisait D'Aimer. The melodic quality and intimacy of these recordings really makes her vocals shine without the overblown aspects people tend to dislike in her English songs. Give it a try!
The best ever
This album is just perfect! Among all of Celine's albums (in French and in English) this one is the best. I'm glad that she had released another great album in French. This is surely a must-have not only for fans but also for everyone who enjoys listing to good music.
