Daniel
Merriweather’s comments originated from Celine's one appearance on
Katie Couric a few months ago when she played a portion of "Water And A
Flame" during an in-studio interview. Before playing the song, Katie
asks Celine about her "new favorite artist", Adele, and Celine tells
Katie how much she loves Adele. Celine continues by talking about
"Water And A Flame"....about how much she loves it....and how it's a bit
different from what she's used to singing. She doesn't mention
anything about who wrote the song. Despite the headlines that have
emerged from Daniel's publicity, Celine certainly doesn't claim in any
way whatsoever that she wrote the song. While we can understand
Daniel's disappointment by not having his name mentioned during Katie
Couric’s interview, it's rather unfair to Celine to be on the receiving
end of the many disparaging comments that have now become public.
Throughout
Celine’s 32 year career she has always been very vocal about sharing
the credit for her successes. She has been very vocal about the fact
that she does not write her own songs...and that she is fortunate to
have wonderful and talented writers to provide these gifts to her. For
her to be accused of "stealing" a song is not only grossly inaccurate,
but also very hurtful. During the thousands of interviews that she's
given over the years, it's often that she will not mention the names of
the writers involved. It's something that may not come up a lot in the
interviews. That said, when a Celine Dion album is released, we
'always' include complete and accurate writer credits in an updated bio,
and of course, inside the CD packaging. Celine's new English album
will be released worldwide this Fall. We are very excited about this
new album, and we hope to have great success with it....and great
success for all those who have contributed.
She loves Daniel
Merriweather and Eg White’s song so much, and would never want to do any
harm to them....nor take away anything from them....in fact, the
opposite would be true.
We hope this clears up any misconceptions regarding Celine's intentions.
