Surround Celine Dion with three writers-composers and an artistic director who have made their mark on the French music scene and you get '1 fille & 4 types,' Celine's first French album in 5 years. The voice of one or other of these incomparable artists - Jacques Veneruso, Erick Benzi, master guitarist Gildas Arzel and superstar Jean-Jacques Goldman - accompanies Céline's performance throughout the album, produced by Benzi and guided by Goldman from start to finish.

The album includes the lead single "Tout l'or des hommes," a rallying song with a touching and energizing melody.
