Celine Dion is back in her comfort zone — The Studio at the Palms

Celine Dion is playing the Palms.

To clarify: Celine is recording at the Studio at the Palms.

The Colosseum at Caesars Palace headliner has returned to the studio to record her next, not-yet-titled album. The release would be Dion’s first English-speaking album since 2013’s “Loved Me Back to Life.” She has said she wants the next album to drop in the latter stages of 2018. She began work on the album at the Palms in early November.

“I’m very, very excited. That’s going to be released in 2018, probably during the fall, could be sooner, I hope,” Dion said in an interview with Hello magazine in August as she announced her new line of handbags. “I don’t know, but I can’t wait.”

In April, Dion released a 49-second video announcing plans for an album next year, with her singing, “Let me reveal myself,” with those words shown in uppercase.

This is not Dion’s first dance, or session, in the Studio at the Palms, which celebrates its 12th anniversary this week under the stewardship of studio director Zoe Thrall. This is Dion’s fifth album recorded in the studio, discreetly set aside from the casino floor and host to sessions from such superstars as Beyonce, Maroon 5, Lady Gaga, Eminem, Michael Jackson (about a decade ago), Britney Spears, Imagine Dragons, and Jamie Foxx.

It’s not uncommon for a recording artist — such as Foxx — to call Thrall in the dead of night to set up time in the studio at 2 a.m., or whenever the mood hits. Foxx also cut samples of new songs and delivered the music to Moon nightclub to test-drive his work.

The Studio’s 12th anniversary was technically marked Wednesday. The first artists to ever record there were guitar great Joe Bonamassa in Studio X (the larger recording room to accommodate a full band), and, oddly enough, Paris Hilton in Studio Y. The following week The Killers began work on “Sam’s Town.”

“We hit it out of the park, right from the beginning,” says Thrall, adding that the studio remains a viable option for artists even though technology makes it possible to record music just about anywhere. “You can’t beat an acoustically sound room to record in and the ability to mix in a room that is designed properly.”
