CELINE DION - A NEW DAY HAS COME - (SMASH HIT CD) US IMPORT

The album includes many highlights, like Dion's renditions of Etta James classic, "At Last" and Nat King Cole's "Nature Boy."

Few French accents can be found here too, as Dion recorded "The Greatest Reward," an adaptation of "L'envie d'aimer" from the French musical The Ten Commandments, performed originally by Daniel Lévi. The song was co-written by Pascal Obispo, a popular French singer and composer. Another track called "Ten Days" is an adaptation of a French hit song, "Tomber" by Gérald De Palmas. Dion recorded also a Spanish version of "L'amour existe encore" from her 1991 Dion chante Plamondon album, called "Aún Existe Amor."

The album included two successful singles: the title track and "I'm Alive," featured also in the Stuart Little 2 movie. On "Goodbye's (The Saddest Word)," released as the last commercial single, Shania Twain did the background vocals. "At Last" was released as a radio single in the United States only.

"Super Love" was available as a bonus track outside North America.

On April 7, 2002, CBS aired one-hour TV special dedicated to A New Day Has Come. Beside songs from the album, Dion performed two duets: "Emotion/When the Wrong One Loves You Right" with Destiny's Child and "Beauty and the Beast" with Brian McKnight.

For further promotion, Céline Dion joined on May 23, 2002 the VH1 Divas Las Vegas along with Cher, Shakira, Mary J. Blige, Anastacia, Dixie Chicks, Cyndi Lauper, Stevie Nicks and Whitney Houston. She sang "A New Day Has Come," "I'm Alive," "Can't Help Falling in Love," and a duet with Anastacia on AC/DC song "You Shook Me All Night Long."

On January 29, 2008, Legacy Recordings released A New Day Has Come as a new collector's edition with bonus DVD. The CD contains 16 tracks from the North American version of the album (including extended version of "The Greatest Reward") and the DVD features four music videos, and behind the scenes footage from the making of the album and the "A New Day Has Come" video.
