Unison is the first home video by Canadian singer Celine Dion, released on VHS on 2 July 1991 by Columbia Records and Epic Records. [1] It contains a collection of music videos from Dion's English-language debut album, Unison (1990), including a special version of "Where Does My Heart Beat Now". The release also contains exclusive interview segments filmed at Dion's home.

Contents

Several videos, such as "Délivre-moi", "Have a Heart", and "Calling You", were recorded live during the Unison Tour at the Winter Garden Theatre in Toronto and later broadcast in a 1991 MusiMax television special. The home video was issued in both English and French versions, each including similar interview segments recorded in the respective languages.

Unison was released in several countries throughout 1991 and was certified gold in Canada on 1 May 1992. [2]

Background and conception

The home video contains alternate and previously unreleased versions of several music videos from Dion's English-language debut album, Unison (1990). It includes a special edit of "Calling You" and a unique version of Dion's breakthrough hit "Where Does My Heart Beat Now", combining footage from the Canadian black‑and‑white video with material from the US performance version. The release also contains exclusive interview segments filmed at Dion's home. [3]

In the United States, the 1991 US version of "(If There Was) Any Other Way" was included, while in Canada the 1990 Canadian version was used. [4] Three videos—"Délivre-moi", "Have a Heart", and "Calling You"—were recorded live during the Unison Tour at the Winter Garden Theatre in Toronto. These performances were later broadcast as part of a 1991 MusiMax television special. In Canada, the home video was issued in both English and French versions. Although the video content is largely the same, each edition contains interview segments recorded separately in the respective languages.
