Background and release[edit]

Critical reception[edit]

'Breakaway' received positive reviews from music critics. Trap boom workstation mac download version. Jim Farber of Daily News wrote that it 'balances modern R&B with '60s lounge music in a way that would flatter Adele'.^[8]USA Today editor Elysa Gardner included this song in her download list and added 'Dion starts out low and sultry, then lets her big, creamy soprano rip — a pattern she follows on the 'Wall of Sound'-inspired Breakaway'.^[9]Gary Graff from The Oakland Press praised the vocal buildup 'from the lower reaches of her register, a husker tone that sounds just as good as the more pristine approach that's her stock in trade'.^[10] Andrew Hampp of Billboard also praised 'Breakaway' calling it 'powerful' and the song which features 'arguably the grittiest, most authentically 'rock' vocal we've ever heard or would expect from Dion'.^[11] Deban Aderemi of Wiwibloggs commented that 'Breakaway' is a beautiful piano-led track. The song's orchestration is rich, Dion's delivery is dynamic, yet she remains committed to a performance that comes from the soul.^[12]

Live performances[edit]

In early November 2013, Dion performed 'Breakaway' for the UK show, Strictly Come Dancing which was broadcast during the semi-finals on 15 December 2013.^[13]^[14]^[15]
