Celine Dion has announced the release of new songs, her first since the Canadian singer announced in December that she was suffering from a rare neurological condition.

The new album is titled "Love Again", and it includes musical works related to a movie of the same name, including five new songs, in addition to old works. This musical collection will be released on May 12, coinciding with the film's release in Canadian cinemas.

This is the first album since Carriage, released in 2019 by the Quebec star, who appears on screen in Love Again as her own persona.

"I had so much fun making this film. Having the privilege of appearing alongside the talented actors Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Sam Heughan in my first feature film is a gift I will cherish forever," Celine Dion said in a statement.

"I think it's an incredibly comforting story, and I hope people like it, and so do the new songs," she added.

In a nearly five-minute video she posted in December, an emotional Celine Dion announced the postponement of the European dates on her tour, speaking of her "long-term health problems".

"I was recently diagnosed with a very rare neurological disease, Stiff Person Syndrome," she said.

Because of this disease, which translates into a progressive stiffness of the muscles, Celine Dion began to suffer from walking difficulties, while the disorder also prevented her from “using her vocal cords” in the way she wanted, according to the singer.

Dion was scheduled to resume the European tour at the end of last February from the Czech Republic.

Dion performed the first 52 concerts of the tour before the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020. Then, early last year, the Canadian star announced the cancellation of her North American concerts as part of this tour due to her suffering from health problems.
