Development and music

Falling into You presented Dion at the height of her popularity, and showed a further progression of her music. In an attempt to reach a wider audience, the album combined many elements: ornate orchestral frills and African chanting, and instruments like the violin, Spanish guitar, trombone, the cavaquinho, saxophone and supreme string arrangements by Paul Buckmaster created a new sound. The singles encompassed a variety of musical styles: the title track and "River Deep, Mountain High" (a Tina Turner cover) made prominent use of percussion instruments; "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" (a remake of Jim Steinman's song) and a remake of Eric Carmen's "All by Myself" kept their soft-rock atmosphere, but were combined with the classical sound of the piano; and the maudlin ballad, "Because You Loved Me," written by Diane Warren, served as the theme to the 1996 film Up Close & Personal. The song was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1996, as well as four Grammy Awards. Céline Dion performed at both ceremonies. The album included also Carole King's "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" and Marie Claire D'ubaldo's "Falling into You."

"If That's What It Takes," "I Don't Know," and "Fly" are the English adaptations of songs from the album D'eux.

Promotion

Dion's status on the world stage was further solidified when she was asked to perform "The Power of the Dream" at the opening ceremonies of the 1996 Summer Olympics. She sang in front of more than 100,000 people around her, in addition to over three and a half billion of TV viewers from their homes. Céline Dion gave away the money she received for the occasion with a little extra to the Canadian team, to support Canadian athletes. The song was included on some limited editions of Falling into You in Asia and Australia. In the United States, the song was included as the B-Side to the single "It's All Coming Back to Me Now." In 2008, the song was included on Dion's greatest hits album My Love: Essential Collection.

Dion went on the Falling into You Tour to support the album.

In February 1996, Céline Dion announced the launch of her Falling into You Tour in support of a new album. Dion and her band toured Australia, Canada, United States, and many countries in Europe and Asia. In all, the tour lasted more than a year, with 149 shows in 17 different countries.

The sold out tour began on March 18, 1996 in Perth, Australia and continued to major cities around the world. It ended on June 26, 1997 in Zürich, Switzerland. In June 1997, Céline Dion toured the biggest stadiums in Europe and sang before huge crowds ranging from 35,000 to 70,000 people.[5]

Singles

In 1995, Dion released "To Love You More" in Japan, where it reached number one,[6] selling over one million copies.[7] As a result, she became the first non-Japanese artist in twelve years to garner a number-one hit on the Oricon Singles Chart.[8] Released in 1996, Falling into You featured the US chart topping single "Because You Loved Me". Other successful singles from the album included "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" and "All by Myself", which bothed reached the top five on the Billboard Hot 100.[9] Other five singles were released from the album.

Falling Into You, upon its release, received generally favorable reviews from most music critics. Some reviews were mixed, such as Dan Leroy's review, which stated Falling Into You was not very different from her previous work. A couple of other critics, namely Stephen Holden of The New York Times and Elysa Gardner of Los Angeles Times, wrote that the album was formulaic, and there was a lack of emotional connection to the songs. However, other critics such as Chuck Eddy and Daniel Durchholz praised the album as a whole, stating that it was "compelling," "passionate," "stylish," "elegant," and "remarkably well-crafted." Allmusic gave the album a favorable review, which said: "Although the album is formulaic, it's a well-executed, stylish, and catchy formula, accentuating her natural vocal charm. Dion shines on ballads like "Because You Loved Me" and mock epics like Jim Steinman's "It's All Coming Back to Me Now." Between those two peaks, she tackles dance-pop and love songs with grace; that effortless elegance saves the mediocre material on the album from being tedious. Though there are a couple of weak tracks, Falling into You is a remarkably well-crafted set of adult contemporary pop and Dion's best album."

Chart performance

Falling into You remains one of the best-selling albums in history, with over 32 million copies sold worldwide.[1]
