[edit] Album information

It started Céline Dion's new look, new sound, new team of writers and 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. Dion recived another four Félix Awards. Quebec saw six top five 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 Dion's 1990 album Unison.

The album (with different tracklist) came out in France in 1988 . It included "Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi" which won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1988 and "Ma Chambre." Both tracks appeared as the 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 Dion toured Quebec, Canada in 1988 with her Incognito Tour.

Incognito peaked at #65 in Belgium Wallonie on November 11, 1995 (eight years after its initial release).

Producer Jean-Alain Roussel, has worked with many notable artists including Joan Armatrading, Olivia Newton-John, Cat Stevens and the UK singer Elkie Brooks.
