[edit] Album information
Dion worked with many different producers for this album, mainly on pop and rock songs. As of May 21, 2007, she already recorded four songs for her new English project. Rock-oriented tracks were written and produced by Ben Moody, ex-member of Evanescence.[2] One of them was co-written by Scott "Skippy" Chapman and Michael Tait.
Dion continued the recording during her summer holiday between July 2 and August 15, 2007.[3] The first result was a piano-heavy ballad written by Robert Wells and Anders Bagge.[4]
According to an article in Elle magazine dated July 2007, R. Kelly wrote two songs for Dion.[5]
She has also recorded the track "Eyes On Me," co-written by Delta Goodrem, Kristian Lundin and Savan Kotecha, to be included in this release.[6]
The-Dream has done a song with Dion, called "Skies of L.A." It's about what the future looks like.[7] He wrote and produced Rihanna's latest hit "Umbrella."
Kara DioGuardi and David A. Stewart wrote "Taking Chances."[8] The track was produced by John Shanks.[9] DioGuardi also wrote and co-produced with Emanuel "Eman" Kiriakou "Surprise, Surprise," from Dion's forthcoming album.
