It's a voice that the world knows and the album that put her in the spotlight forever. Céline Dion’s breakout LP Falling Into You (1996) blends pop, rock, soul, and gospel into a richly cinematic sound. Featuring unforgettable songs like Diane Warren and David Foster's “Because You Loved Me” and Jim Steinman's “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now”, the album acted as a showcase for Dion’s dramatic emotional range and razor-sharp technical acumen. Falling ultimately sold over 32 million copies worldwide, won Dion GRAMMYS for both Album of the Year and Best Pop Album, cemented her as the definitive voice of 1990s pop, and granted her undying status as a beloved diva and queer icon. Honoring the 30th anniversary of the seminal album, the playwright and raconteur Inua Ellams invites you to his Rhythm And Poetry (R.A.P.) Party, featuring ten of New York’s most gifted poets and spoken word artists sharing new works inspired by Dion’s music and impact. Join us for a nostalgia-filled night of power ballads, lyric poems, and a celebration of the transformative power of music.
