Celine Dion is the self-titled debut English-language studio album by Canadian singer Celine Dion. Released in 1990, it marked a significant step in her transition from French-Canadian pop star to international recognition. While not as commercially successful as her later albums, it laid the groundwork for her future triumphs. The album showcases a blend of pop and R&B influences, reflecting the prevalent sounds of the time. Notable tracks include "Where Does My Heart Beat Now," which became a substantial hit, and "The Power of Love," a cover of a Huey Lewis and the News song that also gained significant airplay and cemented her growing popularity. The album's production aimed for a contemporary sound, highlighting Dion's powerful vocals.
