  • SHANIA TWAIN SERVES FANS ANOTHER TASTE FROM HER NEW ALBUM.

    Shania Twain released “Poor Me” for purchase today. The song is a track from her highly anticipated upcoming album, NOW.  Shania recently released the full deluxe track listing for the upcoming Sep. 29th release to eager fans. “Poor Me” is another glimpse into NOW which was solely written by and co-produced by Shania. Also, released today is the brand new lyric video for “Poor Me” which can be viewed below. Offered as both a 16-track deluxe and a 12-track standard album, both versions of NOW will feature Shania’s debut single, “Life’s About To Get Good” and “Poor Me.” Shania co-produced her upcoming record with four producers across the 16 tracks including Matthew Koma, Ron Aniello (Bruce SpringsteenGavin DeGraw), Jake Gosling (Ed SheeranShawn Mendes) and Jacquire King (Kings of LeonNorah Jones).

    Shania discusses being the sole songwriter of her new music, “I’m a songwriter first. That absolutely drives everything. It was a big step toward independence. I pushed myself, knowing it was going to scare me and knowing that I, alone, was responsible for however it turned out. I love collaborating, but I didn’t want any emotional, psychological, or musical influence. The minute you invite somebody into that space, you’re influenced. And then it wouldn’t be me. It wouldn’t be pure. This may be the purest work I ever do.”

    Shania Twain has announced the track list for her upcoming album, Now, which is set for release September 29th.

Offered as both a 16-track deluxe and a 12-track standard album, both feature Shania’s current single, “Life’s About To Get Good,” playing on country radio now.

The international superstar also served as co-producer on the project.

    “Just writing the album alone and just sticking to that concept in my conviction is an achievement for me, because I was so afraid to do it,” says Shania. “It was just something I had to prove to myself, and I did that. I got to the point where I really believed I didn’t really need the help from anybody else and that I was gonna make it through that, and I did, so that’s a big success for me.”

    Shania worked with four producers across the 16 tracks including Matthew Koma, Ron Aniello (Bruce Springsteen, Gavin DeGraw), Jake Gosling (Ed Sheeran, Shawn Mendes) and Jacquire King (Kings of Leon, Norah Jones).

    “Just writing the album alone and just sticking to that concept in my conviction is an achievement for me, because I was so afraid to do it. I was
    petrified, because I’m thinking, ‘I’m leading off after 15 years of collaborating with one person for 15 years, I mean we were together 15 years, so it was just something I had to prove to myself, and I did that.

  • SHANIA TWAIN OPENS EXHIBIT AT THE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME.

    Shania Twain was in Nashville on Tuesday night (June 27) to present her new exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame to Industry insiders and media. With more than 90 million albums sold worldwide, Shania remains the top-selling female country artist of all time.

    The exhibit, which features guitars, iconic outfits, magazine covers and more, opens Friday (June 30) and will run through July of 2018.

    In remarks she made to the crowd gathered for this event, Shania talked about missing her fans during the 15 years she’s been relatively out of the spotlight. “What I longed for a lot was just getting reacquainted, reunited I guess is a better word, with my largest group of supporters, the fans,” says Shania. “And I realized how much I missed them and I…in speeding past the 90’s and all of the craziness of that, which was beautifully crazy but I never got to enjoy the moment and I was just racing on to the next thing, racing on to the future, and I didn’t really appreciate the fans the way I do now. Now when I’m in concert I see them as a lifeline and as people that I understand and the people that I write the music for.”

    Shania is back with a new single, “Life’s About to Get Good,” which is the first release from her new album, NOW, due September 29th.
