Celine Dion<\/a> is the latest artist to participate in a Spotify<\/a> Singles release, where artists share a new version of one of their signature tracks along with a cover of a song by another artist.<\/p>\n

For her track, Dion chose \u201cImperfections,\u201d one of the singles from her November 2019 album Courage<\/em>. But way more exciting, the cover she chose is Chris Isaak\u2019s<\/a> \u201cWicked Game,\u201d and Isaak himself hopped on the track to perform backing vocals for the Canadian singer.<\/p>\n

Recorded at New York\u2019s Electric Lady Studios, Dion\u2019s \u201cWicked Game\u201d captures the spirit of Isaak\u2019s original sensual track with a little Celine flourish. Her intonations on the first verse are a bit freestyle, but she then proceeds to give one of the more subtle \u2014 and beautiful \u2014 vocal performances of her career. It\u2019s the Goldilocks amount of Celine energy: not too little, not too much.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>I chose \u2018<\/span>Wicked Game\u2019<\/span> for my Spotify Singles because it\u2019s one of my favorite songs of all time for many, many, many reasons,\u201d Dion said. \u201c<\/span>But also I love the black and white music video for the song, of Chris Isaak<\/span> <\/span>and Helena Christensen on the beach<\/span>\u2026<\/span>I wanted to respect the original version, which I still think is perfection.\u201d <\/p>\n

Isaak wrote: \u201cAt last! When I heard Celine singing there was a big smile on my face. It\u2019s just fun to hear her sing\u2026somebody said about Fred Astaire\u2018s dancing \u2018he makes it look so easy\u2019\u2026 Celine makes it sound so effortless.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dion is currently on tour for Courage <\/em>through April 27th. Last month, she performed \u201cOver the Rainbow\u201d<\/a> at a Miami concert as a tribute to her mother, who had just passed away; she was 92 years old.<\/p>\n
