One of the biggest-selling music stars is ready to come back!! Shania Twain has made us wait 15 years! She will return in September with a new album and release the lead single “Life’s About to Get Good,” in June.
Earlier this year, Twain took EW behind the scenes of her new record; she revealed that she drew upon years of stored-up musical ideas that she collected on various recording devices.
“I’m forever backing things up,” she said. “So if it’s a rainy day or I’m bored, I’ll go through my electronics and listen to things. They’ll have titles like ‘Fun beat’ or ‘Fab memory.’ … It’s really fun to experiment with arrangements. I did so many of my backing vocal arrangements — just being able to have all these multitracks and moving them around and experimenting that way. By the time I got into the studio, I was already quite familiar with what I wanted to do.”
Shania collaborated with her husband for years until their divorce. Now, she has partnered with producers Jake Gosling (Ed Sheeran, One Direction), Ron Aniello (Bruce Springsteen), Jacquire King (Kings of Leon), and songwriter-producer Matthew Koma. “They’re all very different from each other,” she said of her collaborators. “And I’m a very focused person in the studio. It’s not like it’s not fun, but the joy comes in watching the whole thing grow and getting locked into that creative mode — that’s so indulgent for me.”
I have a feeling we may also be seeing her as a judge on The Voice soon. She was recently a mentor to the contestants and sat in a judges chair for feedback during the show.
It’s been a long time since we heard Shania music…very exciting!
