A public appeal by Celine
Dion for new songs for her next

Media, told AFP this w'eek.
Dion's husband and manager,
Rene Angelil, and the CEO of
the Les Feeling Productions
firm managing her career, Aldo

the dimensions this initiative
has taken, and they asked me
to organise the w'orks' selection",
he said. Dion in late
August made her appeal for
fresh songs, emphasising that it w'as "open to everyone". -AFP
