S'il suffisait d'aimer (transl. "if only love could be enough") is the sixteenth studio album by Canadian singer Celine Dion, and her eleventh French-language album. It was released by Sony Music on 31 August 1998. The album was mainly written by French singer-songwriter Jean-Jacques Goldman, and produced by Goldman and Erick Benzi.

It received generally positive reviews, with particularly strong praise from critics in Francophone countries, and became the second best-selling French-language album of all time, after Dion's own D'eux (1995). It includes three hit singles: "Zora sourit", "S'il suffisait d'aimer" and "On ne change pas". S'il suffisait d'aimer won the Juno Award for Best Selling Francophone Album of the Year.

Content and promotion

[edit | edit source]

The project reunited Dion and Jean-Jacques Goldman, who last worked together on the very successful album D'eux. In their first collaboration Goldman wrote songs for Dion, this time he wrote more in his own style, while letting Dion sing her own unique way, like she has been singing a long time ago. Most of the arrangements on that album are simple to let her voice dominate the songs.

During the francophone concerts in the Let's Talk About Love World Tour, Dion performed six songs from S'il suffisait d'aimer. The concerts in Paris were recorded and released as Au cœur du stade in 1999. It was promoted by the video of Dion performing "Dans un autre monde". In addition, video from behind the scenes of the recording session of S'il suffisait d'aimer was included as a bonus on the Au cœur du stade DVD.

Some tracks from S'il suffisait d'aimer were featured on Dion's 2005 greatest hits album On ne change pas.

Public[2]20/20

The album received generally positive reviews, with particularly strong praise from critics in Francophone countries. AllMusic stated that "fans will be pleased to hear Dion's return, in a sense, to her roots, especially since the album is about as consistent as any of her albums, both English and French".[1]

The French magazine Public rated the album 20 out of 20, which is the highest score that Dion's albums have received on the magazine's website, noting: "compared to the slightly overachieving tone of D'eux, we slightly prefer its younger sibling, S'il suffisait d'aimer, the second collaboration between Jean-Jacques Goldman and Céline Dion, released in 1998. With less to prove and a softer approach, it's a more 'indie' album—if one might say so—for the duo. Rather than opening with a hit like "Pour que tu m'aimes encore", it begins with an intimate song, "Je crois toi", which was never released as a single. The tone is set from the very beginning. Full of subtlety, relying less on vocal power and more on emotional nuance, the album reaches into the heart of Céline—a heart that Jean-Jacques Goldman understands well, portraying her through moments of doubt. Tracks like "On ne change pas" reflect on the child within her; "En attendant ses pas" speaks of the child she is expecting; and others, like "Zora sourit" or "Tous les blues sont écrits pour toi", address more socially conscious themes. A hidden gem, "Papillon", written by Erick Benzi, was re-recorded by Céline in the studio simply for the joy of singing it again—knowing its intimacy likely wouldn't fit on stage. The album ends with a lament about the state of the world—but one that carries a sense of hope. "S'il suffisait d'aimer" has, in our eyes, become Céline's anthem".[2]
