Le Ballet
Encyclopedia
"Le ballet" is a radio single
by Céline Dion
from her album D'eux
. It was released in January 1996 in France and was immediately a huge radio hit, ranking as the 6th most economically profitable song of 1996 in France.
"Le ballet" is a bluesy groove song, with percussive finger snaps, harmonica and electric guitar that shows Dion singing blues for first time. The song is an example of D'eux
style that was influenced by continental pop, folk music, jazz and '70s soul. Written and produced by Jean-Jacques Goldman
this track is considered an example of Goldman's handling of mature topics and feelings and is known for Dion's imitations of instruments. Starting in her D'eux Tour
in 1995, and featured on the Live à Paris
album, she used an extended version of this song to introduce all her band members. She performed the song similarly on her Falling Into You Tour
.
There was no video for the song made.
"Le ballet" was included as the B-side of "Falling into You" single, released later.
It was also featured on some editions of Céline Dion's greatest hits compilation On ne change pas
in 2005.
