Dion Chante Plamondon
Celine Dion
Dion chante Plamondon is a French‑language studio album by Céline Dion built entirely around songs written by renowned Quebec lyricist Luc Plamondon. Released in November 1991, it presents Dion interpreting a mix of newly written material—such as “Des mots qui sonnent,” “Je danse dans ma tête,” and “L’amour existe encore”—alongside dramatic pieces originally created for projects like the rock opera Starmania. The record moves through soft rock, pop‑rock, chanson, and big ballads, showcasing Dion’s ability to handle theatrical storytelling and intimate emotion in French with equal confidence.
The album was issued in some territories under the alternate title Des mots qui sonnent, but the concept remained the same: a full, cohesive tribute to Plamondon’s writing that effectively positioned Dion as a major interpreter of contemporary Francophone song. Commercially, it was a significant success in Quebec and France, earning strong sales and industry awards and becoming one of her most important early French releases. Artistically, many fans and critics see it as a turning point, where Dion’s French repertoire gained a deeper, more mature identity that stands alongside her English‑language hits.
