[edit] Album information

The lyrics were written by ten prominent female writers from Quebec (Jovette Alice Bernier, Janette Bertrand, Denise Bombardier, Marie Laberge, Lise Payette) and France (Nina Bouraoui, Françoise Dorin, Nathalie Nechtschein, Christine Orban, George Sand). Seven out of thirteen songs planned for the album were recorded on December 20th and 21st 2006 at the Piccolo Studios, Montreal. A second version of "À Cause," called "On S'est Almé à Cause" was recorded in New York, in early February 2007. This one was produced by Marc Dupré and Jean-François Breau (the first version by Jacques Veneruso). Jean-Jacques Goldman was there too as the artistic director. The title is a spin-off of that of Dion's 1995 album D'eux. Both can be translated as Of Them, with D'Elles being the specifically feminine version.

The first single "Et S'il N'en Restait Qu'une (Je Serais Celle-là)" written by Françoise Dorin and David Gategno, premiered on February 14, 2007 on radiostations in Francophone countries. It will be released commercially on April 13, 2007. The music video for the second single, called "Immensité" will be shot at Lake Mead, on the 5th and 6th of April 2007.

D'Elles TV special is planned to be recorded in Los Angeles at the end of May 2007 with many guest stars. The special is supposed to air on the French channel TF1.

D'Elles will be released in three editions:

  • standard edition
  • double digipack (CD + DVD + booklet about Dion's career)
  • collectors box set (48 page booklet + perfume sample + specially designed cover)
