Album Information
The album was written and produced by popular French singer and songwriter Jean-Jacques Goldman. D'eux includes successful hit singles: "Pour que tu m'aimes encore" and "Je sais pas." A song called "Vole" was dedicated to Karine, Dion's niece who had died of cystic fibrosis. These three songs were recorded later in English as "If That's What It Takes," "I Don't Know" and "Fly" respectively, and included on Dion's next album Falling into You.
D'eux was promoted in April 1995 with one-hour TV special. Céline Dion did also the D'eux Tour to support the album. The show at Le Zénith in Paris was recorded and released as Live à Paris.
A promotional copy of the album was issued with alternate artwork in France. Differences included the way the text was presented on the cover and a different photo on the rear of Dion and Goldman with an overhead microphone. The catalog number of this very rare disc is SAMP2604.
D'eux and the leadoff single "Pour que tu m'aimes encore" won many awards, including Juno Awards, Félix Awards and Victoires de la Musique. Dion received also the Medal of Arts and Letters from France’s Minister of Culture recognizing her status as the Best Selling French-language Artist in History.
