This woman knows no bounds. Not only does she sing in French and English, but now French Canadian singer Celine Dion has recorded a full song in Japanese. Not that this should come as a surprise to many as at the start of the 2008 she released this song, A World To Believe In as a duet with Yuna Ito.
This version of the song was specially recorded for the film ‘Maboroshi no Yamataikoku’ and, although the language may have changed, the song still sounds as beautiful as the original. There is no disjointedness when Celine switches from Japanese to English (if only in the chorus sections) also there is no forced accent that sometimes occurs when singing in a foreign language, just Celine’s unmistakable vocals.

Also included on this single is the English album version of A World To Believe In, a live performance of My Love and a brand new song, There Comes A Time.

The single is a beautiful addition to any collection and once again this year, Celine proves that music is has no barriers, not even language.

Rating: 5/5
