I Believe in You
IL DIVO FEATURING CELINE DION
Producer(s): P. Magnusson, D. Krueger
Unto itself, "I Believe in You" is a beautiful song, lush in its orchestral production and celestial in its blend of Dion's towering vocals with the classical-lite musings of Il Divo. But if you are a proponent of the former's career at radio, this release prompts some questions: First, with her career at AC already tentative, is a duet with such a cheesy act really a wise strategy? And second, for an artist who remains youthful and vital on the inside, why is she again involved in a project whose appeal lies with an audience whose birthdays start with 4's and 5's? Il Divo has found success overseas, but in the States, the act amounts to a poor man's Josh Groban. It is time for another "That's the Way It Is," not a song so erudite that even AC radio may turn up its nose. Pretty song, yes, but hardly in Dion's long-term interest.
