Three years after the release of her first album, which went gold and platinum, she released her second album, Carpe Diem, which launched the career of this singer-songwriter in French-speaking countries, especially in Quebec. Within three weeks, the album went gold. She then took her music on tour, performing to over 150,000 admirers, while her album went three times platinum. She was especially appreciated by the Canadian public and music industry. In 1995, she was awarded two Félix awards by Quebec's association of recording artists (ADISQ), namely Best Female Vocalist of the year (by popular vote), and Best Live Performance of the year.
Then, things began to pick up!
In 1996, Walt Disney Studios immortalized Lara's voice. In addition to incarnating Esmeralda, the heroine of the animated feature The Hunchback of Notre Dame, she sang the theme song ("Que Dieu aide les exclus") on the film's soundtrack.
In October, her third album "Pure" went platinum in less than two weeks. Thanks to this album, she won the 1997 Félix for Album of the Year. The same year, "Pure" was launched in France where over two million albums were sold within two years. Thanks to this resounding success, which eloquently expressed the affection of her loving and faithful fans, Lara was awarded the prize for New Artist of the Year at the prestigious French gala Les Victoires de la Musique. This was in February 1998, a few months before the concert tour in several French cities that led to the recording of an album (Lara Fabian Live) in March 1999 which went platinum a few months later. Lara Fabian was praised by music lovers and critics alike...
In addition to receiving the Félix for Quebec Artist Having the Most Impact Outside Quebec, she was voted Personality of the Year by the magazine Paris Match, which featured her on its front cover. While her fame grew, she was honored at the World Music Awards for Best Selling Artist for "Pure". Between appearances in Europe, Lara often returned to New York City and San Francisco to record her first album in English. She wrote or co-wrote most of the songs, working with Rick Allison and producers Walter Afanasieff (Mariah Carey), Pat Leonard (Madonna), Sam Watters (ex-Color Me Badd) and Brian Rawling (Cher's "I Believe").
Produced by Sony Records, the self-titled album was launched in May 2000 on America's most popular morning television show, NBC's Today Show. Invitations poured in, and Lara Fabian appeared on The Tonight Show, The View, Access Hollywood, Craig Kilborn, Entertainment Tonight...
The album's first excerpt, I will Love Again, hit No. 1 on the Billboard Dance Music charts and settled in for 58 weeks! Thanks to this resounding success, she received the Félix for Quebec Artist Having the Most Impact in a Language other than French. The songs on the album thrilled audiences worldwide.
In February 2001, Love By Grace became the theme song of the lead couple in the Brazilian soap opera Laços de Familia, broadcast by TV Globo for millions of viewers in Brazil and Portugal. For several weeks, the song was number 1 on most Brazilian and Portuguese radio stations. Love by Grace generated an incredible frenzy around the artist… You just don't top the billboards of Portuguese speaking countries everyday!
After From Lara with Love, her first American TV special broadcast by PBS, the singer-songwriter participated in the very popular WTKU New York radio special, Miracle on 34th Street, where many popular artists appeared, including Michael Jackson, Christina Aguilera, Marc Anthony, Ricky Martin and Toni Braxton.
Shortly after, when her self-titled English-language album was released in Asia, Lara scored a number one hit on the Taiwanese top ten, a great moment for the artist. Many were particularly impressed with the song Light of my Life (found only on the Asian edition of the album), which she interpreted with Lee-Hom, Asia's top male Chinese-speaking vocalist. This song was included in the movie feature China Strike Force, starring newcomer Lee-Horn along with Aaron Kwok, a box-office idol throughout Asia.
Eagerly awaited in several cities throughout the world, Lara has brilliantly dealt with her growing popularity by frequently appearing abroad. The artist has performed in several European and American capitals, and has enjoyed every minute of her travels. Solid gold in Canada, Germany, Switzerland and Norway, Lara Fabian went platinum in Belgium, Brazil and France and triple platinum in Portugal. She enjoyed the longest number 1 run on Billboard's Heatseeker Chart in 2000.
Last May, Lara was awarded yet another prize at the World Music Awards in Monaco, where she sang Adagio. She also returned to New York and Los Angeles to lend her voice to the original soundtracks of two long-awaited international super productions in July 2001: She interpreted the song The Dreams Within, featured in the movie Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, as well as For Always, the vocal version of the title song of A.I., Steven Spielberg's latest feature.
In addition to a new French-language album in September 2001, Lara Fabian launched the first single on her new album in May, "J'y crois encore", which can be heard on radio stations in Quebec and Europe.
From France to Brazil, in Italy, Belgium, Norway, Switzerland, Germany, Portugal, Japan and the United States, Lara Fabian has established her reputation as a determined singer-songwriter. Barely 10 years after the release of her first album, Lara has conquered the hearts of millions of fans throughout the world, whose fervor is equaled only by their affection for this talented and authentic artist. Eight million records sold worldwide to this day testify to her achievement.
Her best-selling European DVD and CD, En Toute Intimité, released in October 2003, was an intimate, acoustic piano-based collection showcasing Ms. Fabian performing songs in English, Italian and French.
After En Toute Intimité Lara Fabian released her 2nd English language album called "A wonderful life". Lara Fabian's latest release is an album in the French language with the title "Toutes Les Femmes en Moi", released in May 2009.
2010: "Tour Les Femmes Font Leur Show", Mademoiselle Zhivago
Throughout the first half of 2010, Fabian embarked on a European tour of concerts, throughout France, Switzerland, and Belgium, incorporating the main repertoire of her last album "Toutes Les Femmes En Moi" along with some classic and fan favorites. She also performed again in Eastern Europe, with a more acoustic set (piano-voice), and included English recordings from the album Every Woman in Me. In September 2010, she finally released her 2009 album "Toutes Les Femmes En Moi" in Québec. She also recorded the album "Nuit Magique" with Canadian singer Coral Egan.
Later in 2010, Fabian released a concept album in Russia and Ukraine called Mademoiselle Zhivago which has sold over 800.000 copies in Russia. It features 11 songs in different languages by Russian composer Igor Krutoy. It features stories about a woman who experiences several lives over the years and centuries. Eleven music videos, one each song, were combined to create a full-length film, produced and directed by Ukrainian film producer Alan Badoev. The album itself, containing a CD and a DVD, was first released in Ukraine in October 2010 and in Russia in November.
2020–present: Lockdown Sessions
On December 16, 2020, Lara Fabian discreetly unveiled a collection of 12 experimental musical tracks, the fruit of her introspection and her isolation during confinement. Lockdown Sessions came out in a limited edition without a label, and offers a unique journey of the singer accompanied again by Moh Denebi.
Fabian is a full lyric soprano with a vocal range that spans three octaves from C3 to G5 in live performances.

Lara Fabian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Subit son corps
Tous ses mouvements
Elle regarde dehors
Pour voir s'il fait beau temps
Du fauteuil au divan
Du fauteuil au divan
Plus personne dont il faut prendre soin
Pour elle, rien n'est vraiment
Tout à fait comme avant
Du fauteuil au divan
Du fauteuil au divan
L'oubli, l'oubli comme une impasse
Sur les gestes qui blessent
L'oubli comme elle déplace
Son passé, sa tristesse
L'oubli est en surface
Ce qui nous fait souffrir
Mais c'est à l'intérieur
Ce qui la fait tenir
Elle est encore si belle
À l'instant
Dans ces cheveux noirs
Pas un cheveux blanc
Elle accepte son sort
Sa mémoire qui fout le camp
Du passé au présent
Du passé, je parle avec elle
De tout de rien
De son enfance
Ca, çà elle s'en souvient
Du bouquet de rose
Que je viens d'apporter
Restera le parfum
Mais l'image envolée
L'oubli, l'oubli comme une impasse
Sur les gestes qui blessent
L'oubli comme elle déplace
Son passé, sa tristesse
L'oubli est en surface
Ce qui nous fait souffrir
Mais c'est à l'intérieur
Ce qui l'a fait tenir
L'oubli, l'oubli comme une impasse
Sur les gestes qui blessent
L'oubli comme elle déplace
Son passé, sa tristesse
L'oubli est en surface
Ce qui nous fait souffrir
Mais c'est à l'intérieur
Ce qui l'a fait tenir
L'oubli comme son cœur
Pour qu'il n'en reste rien
L'oubli comme un sauveur
C'est un mal pour un bien
L'oubli est un espace
Que personne ne comprends
Mais pour elle c'est la place
Qu'enfin son âme reprends
The song "L" by Lara Fabian is a poignant portrayal of the experience of memory loss that comes with aging, especially dementia. The lyrics describe a woman who moves slowly and out of sync with the world around her. She looks outside to see if the weather is good, but this is all that she can manage. She has no one to take care of her, and her daily routine is simplified. The song touches on the subject of how she relies on forgetting as a coping mechanism.
The first verse sets the stage with the woman's slow movement and her withdrawal from the world around her. The second verse introduces the idea of forgetting as a means of coping with pain. The chorus reinforces the idea that the pain is still there but hidden by the forgetfulness. The third verse expands on the theme of memory loss, describing the woman's distant memories of her past and how she clings to them as they slip away. The song ends with the repeated chorus that ties everything together.
Overall, this song is a poignant reminder of the fragility of the human mind and serves as a tribute to those who have lost their memories.

Lyrics
I don't know where to find you
I don't know how to reach you
I hear your voice in the wind
I feel you under my skin
Within my heart and my soul
I wait for you
Adagio
All of these nights without you
All of my dreams surround you
I see and I touch your face
I fall into your embrace
When the time is right I know
You'll be in my arms
Adagio
I close my eyes and I find a way
No need for me to pray
I've walked so far
I've fought so hard
Nothing more to explain
I know all that remains
Is a piano that plays
If you know where to find me
If you know how to reach me
Before this light fades away
Before I run out of faith
Be the only man to say
That you'll hear my heart
That you'll give your life
Forever you'll stay
Don't let this light fade away
No, no, no, no, no, no
Don't let me run out of faith
Be the only man to say
That you believe
Make me believe
You won't let go
Adagio

Адажио
Я не знаю, где найти тебя
Я не знаю, как отыскать тебя
Но я чувствую голос ветра,
Который говорит о тебе.
Эта душа без сердца
Ждет тебя
Адажио
Ночами без укрытия
Я мечтаю без звезд
Я представляю себе твое лицо,
Которое неожиданно исчезает
И все еще заставляет меня надеяться
Что я встречу тебя
Адажио
Я закрываю глаза и вижу тебя
Нахожу путь,
Который ведет меня
Через страдания
Чувствую, как бьется во мне
Эта музыка,
Которую я написала для тебя
Если знаешь, где найти меня
Если знаешь, как отыскать меня
Мысленно обними меня
Мне кажется, что солнце погасло
Напиши свое имя в небе
Скажи мне, кто ты,
Скажи то, что я хочу
Пережить в тебе.
Мне кажется, что солнце погасло,
Мысленно обними меня,
Я пропадаю без тебя.
Скажи, кто ты и я поверю.
Ты – музыка,
Адажио...
