Unison is the ninth studio album by Canadian singer Celine Dion and her first English‑language release. Issued on 2 April 1990 by Columbia Records and Epic Records, it blends dance‑pop and soft rock elements characteristic of late‑1980s mainstream production. The album was produced by David Foster, Christopher Neil, Tom Keane, and Andy Goldmark. Upon release, Unison received positive reviews, with critics praising Dion's vocal control, versatility and the album's polished, contemporary sound.
Commercially, Unison marked Dion's breakthrough in the English‑speaking market. It reached number one in Quebec, number eight in Norway, and number 15 in Canada. The album was certified seven times platinum in Canada, platinum in the United States, and gold in the United Kingdom and France, with global sales exceeding four million copies. Up to five singles were issued depending on the territory. The most successful, "Where Does My Heart Beat Now", became Dion's first major US hit, peaking at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. At the Juno Awards of 1991, Unison won Album of the Year, and Dion was named Female Vocalist of the Year.
