}} ''Sans attendre'' (meaning ''Without Waiting'') is a French-language studio album by Canadian singer Celine Dion, released by Columbia Records on November 2, 2012. It is her first new French studio album since 2007's ''D'elles''. ''Sans attendre'' features sixteen songs produced mainly by Jacques Veneruso, David Gategno and Scott Price. It contains three duets with Johnny Hallyday, Jean-Pierre Ferland and the late Henri Salvador. The first single from the album, "Parler à mon père" was released on July 2, 2012 and "Le miracle" was selected as the second track to promote ''Sans attendre''. Both songs reached number one in Quebec and "Parler à mon père" also peaked inside the top ten in France. Third single, "Qui peut vivre sans amour?" was sent to radio stations in March 2013. ''Sans attendre'' received mixed-to-positive reviews from music critics, some of whom noticed that it is a tastefully restrained, personal album. The various themes in the songs include longing for a departed father, the cruelty of love, the healing power of tears, the waning days of an ageing mother or the misery of a baby's death. On the commercial level, the album became a smash success in all French-speaking territories. It debuted at number one in Canada and France with an impressive first week sales of almost 100,000 units in each country. ''Sans attendre'' also topped the chart in Belgium Wallonia and reached number two in Switzerland and number eight in Poland and South Korea. It was certified Diamond in France, three-times Platinum in Canada, Platinum in Belgium, and Gold in Switzerland and Poland. ''Sans attendre'' has sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide. ==Background== On June 7, 2012, Dion's official website announced that during April and May, the singer began recording songs for her next French and English albums. The French album will feature all new material and the English one will include studio versions of previously unreleased songs from Dion's Las Vegas show, ''Celine'', as well as several brand new tracks. When asked about the difference between singing in French and in English, Dion anwsered: "It's like wearing a pair of jeans or an evening gown. You cannot change what's in your blood. French is my home, my roots. It's where I live first. French is a more interior energy, more poetic. But, when I sing in English, there are different emotions. As a singer I cannot choose, I need both."
