[edit] Album information
It started Céline's new look, new sound, new team of writers & producers and new disc company (first release under the patronage of Sony Music Entertainment). Two songs were written by Luc Plamondon - Dion's later collaborator. The album was awarded with a double platinum certification for over 200,000 copies sold in Canada. Céline recived another 4 Félix Awards. Québec saw 6 Top 5 single releases from that longplay: "On Traverse un Miroir" (#2), "Incognito" (#1), "Lolita (Trop Jeune Pour Aimer)" (#1), "Comme un Coeur Froid" (#1), "Délivre-Moi" (#4) and "D'Abord, C'Est Quoi l'Amour?" (#1). "Délivre-Moi" was a French cover of E. G. Daily's "Love in the Shadows."
English version of "Partout Je Te Vois" called "Have a Heart" appeared on Céline's 1990 album Unison.
The album (with different tracklist) came out in France in 1988 . It included "Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi" which won Eurovision Song Contest in 1988 and "Ma Chambre." Both tracks appeared as B-sides to singles released in Canada. Incognito was re-released in France in 1992 with the Canadian tracklist.
"Jours de Fièvre" was released as a single in Denmark in 1988.
Céline toured Québec, Canada in 1988 with her Incognito Tour.
