1997
"Tell Him" is the first single from the album and is a duet with the legend herself, Barbra Streisand. This stunning collaboration was born of the singers' initial meeting at the 1997 Academy Awards. These two extraordinary voices come together to bring life to a song that is sure to move all who hear it.
"The Reason" kicks off 'Let's Talk About Love' in high style. It was written by Carole King and produced by legendary Beatles producer Sir George Martin. The track was produced and recorded at Air Studios in London.
"Immortality" is the third song on 'Let's Talk About Love' and is written by Barry Gibb and the BeeGees. The BeeGees also lend backing vocals to this beautiful, airy ballad that will touch the hearts of many. The song was produced by Walter A. at the Hit Factory in New York City.
Celine jumps into the dancehall world with a joyous, upbeat track that shakes the album into high gear with "Treat Her Like A Lady." Written by a team that includes Diana King, "Treat Her Like A Lady" was produced by Ric Wake at the Hit Factory NYC.
"I Hate You Then I Love You" was a worldwide smash for Italian superstar Tony Renis in the '60s. On this album, "I Hate You Then I Love You" is given a remarkable re-working featuring the voices of Celine and another Italian superstar, Luciano Pavarotti.
