'''''1 fille & 4 types''''' ({{lit|1 girl & 4 guys}}) is the twentieth studio album and twelfth French-language album by Canadian singer Celine Dion. It was released on 13 October 2003 by Columbia Records and Epic Records. It contains 13 songs written and arranged by Jean-Jacques Goldman, Erick Benzi, Jacques Veneruso, and Gildas Arzel, and produced by Benzi. The lead single, "Tout l'or des hommes", reached the top ten in several Francophone markets, including number one in Quebec and number three in France. It was followed by "Et je t'aime encore" and the promotional single "Contre nature".
''1 fille & 4 types'' received favourable reviews from music critics, some of whom described it as a long-awaited release for many Dion fans. It was also commercially successful, topping the charts in Canada, France, Belgium's Wallonia, and Greece, and reaching the top ten in Switzerland, Poland, Finland, and Belgium's Flanders. The album was certified double platinum in France, platinum in Canada, Belgium, and Switzerland, and gold in Finland.
==Background== Dion began working on her next French-language album on 8 October 2002 in Paris, where she met with four established French songwriters and producers: Jean-Jacques Goldman, Erick Benzi, Jacques Veneruso, and Gildas Arzel. After four days of rehearsals, she reunited with them in Las Vegas in May 2003 during a break from performing in her residency show ''A New Day...''. Recording sessions took place between 2 and 11 May 2003.<ref>{{cite web |title=Céline in Studio |publisher=celinedion.com |url=http://www.celinedion.com/ca/node/24552 |date=7 May 2003 |access-date=10 January 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141221114604/http://www.celinedion.com/ca/node/24552 |archive-date=21 December 2014}}</ref>

The album received favourable reviews from music critics.<ref>{{cite web |title='1 fille & 4 types' Gets Great Reviews! |publisher=celinedion.com |url=http://www.celinedion.com/ca/node/30570 |date=19 October 2003 |access-date=10 January 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140424014323/http://www.celinedion.com/ca/node/30570 |archive-date=24 April 2014}}</ref> A reviewer from the ''Montreal Gazette'' described it as the "most sympathetic and intimate work of her career". The French newspaper ''Le Parisien'' rated it as excellent, and the Swiss newspaper ''Le Matin'' wrote, "It's solid Dion, square and effectively devilish".
Rob Theakston of AllMusic stated that ''1 fille & 4 types'' "is a record that many Dion fans were hoping would arrive one day. Her voice values dynamics over acrobatics, and the band is stripped down to its bare essentials, taking Dion into relatively unfamiliar territories such as country-pop and folk, and she proves herself more than up to the task of delivering top-notch performances every time. This stripped-down, back-to-basics attitude is only further reinforced within the album's packaging: Dion in several fashionably rugged poses that could have come straight from an Abercrombie & Fitch catalog, complete with photos of a rugged life 'on the road', including a shot of her with the band all lying on a bed together with her hair up in a towel and the air conditioner apparently not working during the summertime. It's completely premeditated and no diva in her right mind would stand for such living conditions, but this only reinforces how far away Dion wants to distance herself from her image this time around. The pop songs are equally as infectious as they are hummable".<ref name="allmusic" />
''Entertainment Weekly'' editor David Browne wrote a mixed review, noting that "The presentation cries out 'empress of overkill goes alt-rock', but the truth is much less engaging" and adding that the album "does stand as a marked departure from her usual fare. Forsaking orchestras and pop gloss, she and her 'guys' offer up reverby twang in 'Tout l'or des hommes', a slide-guitar romp in 'Ne bouge pas', and enough mopey, semi-unplugged arrangements to make you think they just discovered Bruce Springsteen's 'Tunnel of Love'. For her part, Dion sounds more restrained than on her English-language extravaganzas. The album falls victim to the same bathetic love songs that cripple every Dion project, and the quasi-adventurous production gives way to drippy folk-pop balladry".<ref name="entertainment" />
