Celine Dion has been quietly but bravely battling stiff-person syndrome away from the spotlight, having taken time a necessary break from the stage and her world tour.
Until then, her fans have found solace through the many throwbacks her team post on social media, with her latest leaving many wowed and enthused.
The video captured the process of making her 2003 French album 1 fille & 4 types (transl: 1 girl & 4 guys), which she collaborated on with writers and producers Jean-Jacques Goldman, Gildas Arzel, Eric Benzi, and Jacques Veneruso, with whom she'd also worked on her previous highly-successful French records.
The album cover (and the posted video) saw the now 55-year-old Canadian songstress in the midst of her collaboration with the foursome in a laundromat, dressed casually in a t-shirt and jeans while rocking a pixie cut.
The caption alongside the clip, shared in honor of the album's 20th anniversary, read: "In 2003, Celine reconnected with 3 songwriters and 1 artistic director: Jacques Veneruso, Erick Benzi, Gildas Arzel, and JJ Goldman. The result is 1 fille & 4 types. It was released on October 13, 2003. 20 years ago!"
Fans responded with comments like: "Amazing album!!! Nothing is really over! Hope you will have a full recovery very soon, Celine! We miss you!!" and: "My fave album among Celine's French releases," as well as: "This is an absolutely amazing album… I still listen to the songs."
1 fille & 4 types came at an interesting time for the singer, following on the heels of the English-language records A New Day Has Come (2002) and One Heart (2003).
