Celine Dion Spreads Holiday Cheer : Rolling Stone

(NEW YORK) - Celine Dion will record a Christmas album this summer for worldwide release this year on 550 Music/Epic.|

It will include both seasonal standards and a number of new songs. The French-Canadian chanteuse has also just completed recording her next French album in Paris, due for a fall release. As with past albums in her native language, the project is produced by Jean-Jacques Goldman with Humberto Gatica. It will also be released to the global market.

Meanwhile, the follow-up to her current hit single "My Heart Will Go On" is set to impact U.S. radio May 12. "To Love You More," written by David Foster and Junior Miles and produced by Foster, features a violin-drenched backdrop from Japanese virtuoso Taro Hakase. It topped the Japanese singles charts in 1995, making it the first English-language single to hit No. 1 since Irene Cara's "Flashdance (What A Feeling)" in 1983.

No commercial single of "To Love You More" is planned for the U.S. Radio will be serviced with both the 5:28 full-length version and a 4:39 edit. The song is featured on Dion's current album, "Let's Talk About Love."
