"Encore un soir" (meaning "one more night") is a song recorded by Canadian singer Celine Dion, released as the lead single from her French-language album of the same name, issued on 26 August 2016.[1] It was written by Jean-Jacques Goldman, and produced by Goldman, Yann Macé and Luc Leroy. The song is dedicated to Dion's late husband René Angélil, who died in January 2016. "Encore un soir" garnered positive reviews from music critics and was commercially successful topping the charts in France, Quebec and the French-speaking part of Switzerland, Romandy. It also reached the top ten in Luxembourg and Belgium and was certified diamond in France and gold in Switzerland.

Background and release

On 22 October 2015, Dion's official website announced that the singer was "working hard" on her new French album.[2] The track title, "Encore un soir", was originally unveiled on 15 January 2016 by various news outlets.[3] On 17 May 2016, it was confirmed in an interview with Paris Match that the single would be available for digital download on 24 May 2016.[4] [5] The song also became available on streaming services, including YouTube and Vevo.[6]

Critical reception

"Encore un soir" received critical acclaim from music critics. Nicolas Houle from La Presse wrote that "Encore un soir", written by Jean-Jacques Goldman, comes with remarkable restraint and subtlety and is without a doubt the strongest track on the album.[7] Alain de Repentigny, from La Presse+ stated that the title track, an ode to life, makes an impact on the album and during the live performances as well.[8] "Encore un soir" was also praised by Le Figaro, Femme Actuelle, Ciné Télé Revue, Public.fr, HollywoodLife.com and Idolator, as a touching tribute to Dion's late husband, René Angélil.[9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]

Commercial performance

In France, "Encore un soir" debuted at number one, after only three days of sales, selling 7,809 copies.[15] It dethroned Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop the Feeling!" and achieved the highest weekly single sales of 2016.[15] "Encore un soir" became Dion's sixth number one in France.[16] Also with the success of the single, Dion was marked the artist with the most weeks at number one atop the French Singles chart (thirty-eight weeks). "Encore un soir" stayed at the top of the French chart for a second week, selling 5,166 digital copies.[17] The last time Dion spent at least two weeks at number one was fifteen years ago with "Sous le vent".[17] In the next weeks, "Encore un soir" has charted within the top ten since its debut in May.

On 21 October 2016, the single was certified platinum in France for twenty million cumulative sales (downloads and streaming).[40] [41] On 29 December 2017, the single was certified diamond in France.

After only three days of sales, the song debuted at number ten in Belgium Wallonia (number seven on the Belgian Digital Songs),[42] number twenty-five in Switzerland (number one on the Romandy chart and number six on the Swiss Digital Songs),[43] number four in Luxembourg, and number thirty-one in Hungary. On the Euro Digital Songs, "Encore un soir" debuted at number eighteen. In Canada, also after just three days of sales, "Encore un soir" entered the Hot Digital Songs chart at number fifteen.[44] Additionally, it debuted at number thirty-nine on the Canadian Adult Contemporary chart and despite being an essential English chart, it charted at number ninety-two on the Canadian Hot 100. Dion also debuted on the Quebec Digital Singles Chart at number one.[45] Since its debut, "Encore un soir" has remained at number one in Quebec for sixteen consecutive weeks.[45] It also topped for three weeks the Quebec Adult Pop Songs chart.

Music video

On 8 July 2016, Dion filmed the music video on Kleber Street in Paris. It was scheduled to be released in August 2016.[46] The video was directed by Greg & Lio (French duo Lionel Hirlé and Grégory Ohrel), and featured French actor, François Pouron.[47] Since late August 2016, fragments of the video could only be seen during the commercials promoting the album on television, but the full music video was never released.[48]
